Simple to set up, and gives you the ability to delete or view emails from your inbox. You can also send mail. The only downside is that it is not incredibly user-friendly, but a small price to pay for this component.

Modules Anywhere
Not bad at all! When I first downloaded it, I thought I would have to remember the brackets and coding... Rubbish! I was most impressed by how you put a button at the bottom of the editor, unlike many plugins.

Qlue Custom 404
It is extremley simple. You just install the component, and there is only one button. Press it, and BAM! you've got a fully functional 404 error page.

mfBlank
I have an RSS reader on my site. It is not part of Joomla! at all, but it is a free, simple, RSS reader avaliable and customizable online, and then it gives you an HTML code. The only issue is that because it is free, the RSS reader box has a link back to its home site. I don't mind that, but it opens in the same page. I'm not advanced when it comes to HTML, and even if I was, i would have had to put that skill to use hundreds of times. This plugin solves it all, and I would like to make it clear that where the description states that it detects ALL external links, it means ALL.

SimpleCalendar
It is as simple as you can get- every step of the way, there is that nice little 'information' icon. And, wait, there's more! it generates RSS feeds, so for your in-a-hurry visitors, you can display it as soon as they are on your site! I could not ask for it to be better and look forward to other extensions by you.

Random Articles
not bad at all, but there is nothing to make it great. It does what it says it does, easily configurable, and I see no reason to dislike it.

Simple Redirect Plugin
You need to mess around with the HTML codes a bit on the editor. Here are some tips I found useful:

Don't let the tags touch the }.

Break the link. Make sure that the URL you enter is NOT a hyperlink. if it is, break it.

Now it should work just fine, or it did for me. For a non-commercial version, my satisfaction with this is through the roof!

Thank you for review.

I'll see if it's possible to fix your tweaks.

eXtplorer
By far the best FTP system there is for Joomla! It is good-looking, operates without a kink, and, best of all, its free!

Smart Former
So simple a novice could use it (I am using this on my very first website, so I'd know!) yet it is possible to make extremely complex forms. With no knowledge of HTML, CSS, PHP, XMl, et cetera, required, this is the ultimate form builder for anybody from a complete Joomla! novice to a professional web designer. I would recommend this component to anybody!

Color Modules
For simple HTML modules where you only have text, this works like a charm, because you create it on the module manager. But, then again, you can't actually style a module that is not a mod_colormodules15 module, so...
Owner's reply

Sorry to have disappointed you, but we've never mentioned that you can style another module with Color Modules ! If you have an issue with the stated functionality of the module, we welcome you to post in the forums http://oasissolutions.co.in/forum/10-color-modules.html

Advanced Module Manager
It really doesn't make that much of a difference if you run a simple website. All of the old options are still there with some "techno" stuff a simple website would never have any use for. As a simple designer, I give this three stars.
Owner's reply

As the name suggests, it is for Advanced use. Not aimed at simple designers (as you name yourself) like yourself.

Advanced Module Manager doesn't add module positions. That is not what it does, that is a template thing.
Advanced Module Manager helps you define what modules appear on what pages and gives you a lot more control that the simple standard menu item assignment.

On my website, I have an 'Hours' page. I use this module with the Modules Anywhere! plugin. Therefore, on my 'Hours' page, it displays the day and our hours. The module itself is flawless in installation, and so simple anybody could do it! Best module ever created. I look forward to your future products!

Bread Trails
Breadtrails is a wonderful extension. It makes visits to my site easier than ever before and I want to thank you graciously for it. I have one question, however. Is it possible to remove the URL's from the answer that drops down once you click on the module in the actual site and replace them with actual page names? It is the only thing that could be better about this application and no matter what the answer to my question is I recommend anyone get this.
Owner's reply

Thank for the kind words. The pro version does a good job of cleaning up the urls displayed. In it you enter post variables in the set up on the back side and only those values display. In the video, year, make, and model variables are entered in the set up and only those values appear separated by a space. For instance 2008 Ford Mustang or 2010 GMC Pickup
