JUGCN BLOG

Hi JUGCNers and Friends,

We are asking for your patience as the team and I continue to put together content for upcoming sessions. There is so much to talk about with Joomla 3.10 and Joomla 4. Our goal is to give you relatable and actionable information.  We also continue to drive to connect you with other Joomla groups and information to help you have the best Joomla site ever.  Lofty goals but with your help, and patience, we think they are doable.

Stay Tuned!
JUGCN Team

a virtual conference

The end of 2020 is here. Looking back at JUGCN, we’ve covered some great topics, hosted fantastic guest speakers, and are looking forward to 2021.

Starting with the July meeting announcement we are using AcyMailing for our email newsletter. In our May meeting, AcyMailing Ambassador Joris Stolker walked us through AcyMailing 6.  Our interest in this extension was not just to discuss what it does but also because we were looking at using it for our newsletter.  

Why the Change to AcyMailing?

The first reason is that we like to support and use products that work with Joomla!  The second reason is that we wanted to streamline our communications.  

Getting started with AcyMailing was easy.  The new drop-and-drag editor made it easy to add content and add dynamic Joomla content.  We exported our list from MailChimp, imported into AcyMailing and we were ready to send our first newsletter.

What is AcyMailing?

AcyMailing is an Email and Marketing for Joomla! and Wordpress.  There is link testing, spam testing, click tracking, and marketing conversion. 

How much does AcyMailing Cost?

You can start with AcyMailing for free.  There are 3 paid plans, Essential, Enterprise, and Multisite.
