Template Monster and Bitrix Inc. start working on integration of their products.
Alexandria, VA, December 20, 2006 – Template Monster, the largest website templates provider on the Web and Bitrix Inc., the leading developer of Content Management Systems and Portal Solutions sign a partnership agreement. Both companies are seeking deeper integration of their products.
Bitrix Site Manager is the all-purpose integrated system for web development and maintenance projects. Bitrix Site Manager offers the leading and most comprehensive user interface that provides effective web site content management without need of programmers or other specialists. Template Monster will recommend this CMS solution to all of its customers. Integrating Bitrix Site Manager into Template Monster’s templates requires the cooperative efforts of both companies. In the near future this cooperative project will yield a feature-rich, CMS-capable website with premium design.
“We are very proud to offer this great solution to our customers!” says David Braun, CEO of Template Monster. “We are currently offering a 30% discount to all of our customers for Bitrix’s products as a part of our Christmas promotions. This is only the beginning. In the near future our partnership will be broadened.”

"Do you manage a website? Maybe you’re looking after the site for a small business. Maybe you’re doing it for a community group. Perhaps it’s your own personal site. You’d like it to be dynamic: to have some fresh news every week and a home page that’s always up to date. Therein lies the problem. You’re tired of constantly editing HTML to make these changes. And every change gets more complex as you try to keep the look-and-feel consistent across all the pages. Or maybe the site was developed by an external designer. That shielded you from the technical complexities, but now every change takes time and costs money. Perhaps you need a content management system (CMS)..."
One of the fundamental ideals that Packt subscribes to is the belief that Open Source should be promoted, supported, and sustained whenever and however possible. With the Open Source Project Royalty Scheme successfully providing sustainable revenues for projects since 2004, Packt is now excited to announce a further open source initiative; the Open Source CMS Award.
The Packt Open Source Content Management System Award is designed to encourage, support, recognize and reward an Open Source Content Management System (CMS) that has been selected by a panel of judges and visitors to www.PacktPub.com.
The following final five received the most public nominations during the course of the six weeks and are listed in alphabetical order:
In alphabetical order, Google, Microsoft and Yahoo have agreed to all support a unified system of submitting web pages through feeds to their crawlers. Called Sitemaps, taking its name from the precursor system that Google launched last year, all three search engines will now support the method.
More about Sitemaps is to be provided through the new Sitemaps.org site. As part of the announcement, the existing sitemaps protocol from Google gets a version upgrade to Sitemaps 0.9. However, no actual changes to the system have taken place. The new version number was simply done to reflect the protocol moving from an exclusive Google system to one that all three search engines now support.
Anyone already using Google Sitemaps needn't do anything different. The only change is now those sitemaps will be read by Microsoft and Yahoo, as well. More information will either be posted at the Sitemaps.org site or see these sections from each of the search engines, which I expect to be updated soon:
