XCloner-Backup and Restore
I was moving from a subdirectory Joomla installation to the main directory of a site that already existed. I was very nervous about how the move would go once I had my Joomla site configured how I wanted it.

I downloaded XCloner and ran a backup. I downloaded the .tar file and kept it on my desktop "just in case." Then I attempted to migrate the subfolder into the main folder via FTP and all hell broke loose. Both sites were broken and half of the files didn't transfer. I'm sure I would have been in for a terrible time of putting things back together without XCloner.

All I did was install Joomla 1.5 on the root, then install XCloner and restore the backup from my desktop. It took a little while, but it did the job absolutely perfectly. Every article, every module, every component, every plugin, every setting was identical to the sandbox site when I backed it up.

I breathed a huge sigh of relief!

Thank you XCloner for a perfect product that works VERY well!

AJAX Shoutbox
My visitors LOVE this! I do too! It was such a snap to install and works flawlessly. Just one more awesome tool to make my site stickier.
Simple RSS Feed Reader
I tried several other RSS readers to integrate an existing Podcast and Blogger blog into my Joomla site. The others were making weird cascading layout things or were only customizable in the code. I'm not a coder, so that wouldn't really work for me.

This RSS Feed Reader worked first shot out of the box, Podcast and Blog posts showed up beautifully and with a few settings, I was VERY happy with the result.

Thank you!

Easy Script
I didn't even know this would fit the bill until my search came up with another review mentioning how this was perfect for integrating soundcloud players.

I installed, copied/pasted some code and was live with a soundcloud player in a position that I might not have been able to do in any other fashion.

I also found another use for Easy Script that's not as cool, but still important to me.

Thanks for a really cool module! Works like a charm.

Dropbox Component
I have had clients needing to get large files to me and nobody seems to know how to use FTP. This dropbox component gives my site just one more thing that makes people smile. It's small, easy to configure and does what it says on the tin. I was up and running in about 5 minutes. THANK YOU! Worth every cent.

Phoca Gallery
I tried a few other gallery components before trying this. Phoca is the way to go for my site. I downloaded the Black theme and it complements my site beautifully. Totally configurable and looks very very sharp. Thanks!

Phoca Favicon
I really didn't ever have a favicon for my site, but now that I do, I'm so glad! It's easy to change with Phoca favicon and the installation couldn't have been simpler. Zero problems. Thanks!

Phoca Download
Sure, I can put files on my FTP and link to them with text links, but Phoca Download makes everything so much easier, not to mention prettier! Thanks for an easy to install, easy to configure and easy to deploy extension.

JCE
I am SO GLAD that I installed this soon after starting with Joomla. Browsing through images to insert was a nightmare until JCE! Thanks!

AcyMailing Starter
Just the ability to quickly and painlessly add a "join newsletter" form to my website was worth the very easy install. The templates are great and maintaining the newsletter list will be easier than ever thanks to ACY!
