Joomla and Seo
I have installed Joomla for our website. It is running well and makes it easy to add or edit its contents. I wish I had this on my other site too!
But one thing I was dissatisfied was the url. It was in Joomla-speak, even after enabling SEO friendly in the configuration. The url was displayed as something like this: blog/category/11/12 and I wanted it to display as /products/name-of-product. The latter being more 'search engine friendly'.
After googling about, I found and installed the OpenSEF component. It made the links the way I wanted it, but every page was turning into a 404. Panic! I don't want to re-install Joomla from scratch!
Thankfully I found the answer here and it worked like a charm.

Online Tools - Photo Editing
I didn't realize you can now edit pictures online. Great! Very handy if you don't have Photoshop available. Of course nothing beats Photoshop, but if you need a quick and basic photo editor try these:
Splashup - Rich in features, very photoshop-like with the layer features
Picnik - easy to use image editor

components/com_virtuemart/themes/default/templates/browse
Where to change "Ask a question about this product"?
administrator/components/com_virtuemart/languages/shop/english.php
How do I modify the main "shop" page?
shop.index.php (page creation file) can be found at
/administrator/components/com/virtuemart/html
shopindex.tpl.php (main template file) can be found at
../templates/common/
Instead of individual changing the browse layout, you can make it site-wide through the global configuration.
