Joomla 2.5.2 is a security release

The Joomla Project is pleased to announce the immediate availability of Joomla 2.5.2. This is a security release. The Production Leadership Team's goal is to continue to provide regular, frequent updates to the Joomla community. 

The update process is very simple, and complete instructions are available here. Note that there are now easier and better ways of updating than FTPing the files.

J and Beyond, an International Joomla® Conference in May 18th - 20th, 2012, Bad Nauheim, Germany is coming and the deadline for submitting proposals for sessions is on 1st April.

Here are some interesting Joomla blog posts I found during week 7:

• Forms for Joomla 2.5 Discount
• Introducing the Lifestyle Joomla template
• Learning Joomla from blog posts in the website "JOOMLABLOGGER.NET"

A reader asked me about this recently. What he wanted was to hide the "Home" menu item when on the frontpage of his site.

I must admit I haven't really been in the situation where I'd needed that. Still, there might be others that need the same functionality on their site. So here are a couple of solutions for hiding a menu item on a particular page.
