This is a post where I have collected a lot of tips and links from wherever I could find them. Originally I was going to wait for Joomla 1.6 to publish this and make sure to adjust the list according to what 1.6 will look like, but 1.6 is still in beta, and I grow tired of waiting, so this is a list targeted at Joomla 1.5.
