I must say that Xmap is a small component with a fast installation and easy configuration. It integrate with Joomla 1.5 smoothly without any hickup. The creation of Google sitemap also a breeze as it get. I highly recommended this component for all especially beginners.

It's advisable by me to go ahead and use this extension. Highly recommended. The draw back for it, the installation and the correct files that need to be download and install.

I myself a bit confuse at the starting point, but when you take a deep breath, you'll gonna love this extension. Just don't forget to refer to their forum on the Documentations.

Letterman Newsletter is the simplest and working newsletter available for Joomla. I highly recommended for beginner who's looking for newsletter component. The drawback for this product, especially for intermediate and advance user, it didn't have much configuration and settings that allow site admin to tweak the newsletter based on site requirement.
