I figured now that 1.6 is coming out soon, I should at least play a little with 1.5. Now I have a clean install. Just selected beez template. Removed keywords and description for global config. I now get some lines in my header, I would like to remove .. is this just a matter of turning off some plugin or do I have to hack it.

<meta name="keywords" content="" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="generator" content="Joomla! 1.5 - Open Source Content Management" />
<link href="/index.php?format=feed&amp;type=rss" rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS 2.0" />
<link href="/index.php?format=feed&amp;type=atom" rel="alternate" type="application/atom+xml" title="Atom 1.0" />
<link href="/templates/beez/favicon.ico" rel="shortcut icon" type="image/x-icon" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/media/system/js/caption.js"></script>

reckon that's a hack

I agree and am not sure off-hand where the meta stuff is called - btw you may like this www.joomlatwork.com/docman/cat_view/50.html
(seo patch - may turn off some tags for you)

But............ more importantly - welcome to 1.5 !!!!

I am still not sure, I will play with a verion on my laptop for a new site.

I did a post here on the joomla main forum:
forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=304&t=477949

do not like how sessions are handled in 1.5 .. I fear a lot of the stuff I want to do to get things nice is going to require hacking (I hope I am surprised and find out I do not have to do much). If it looks like I am going to have to do a lot of hacking I may stay back on 1.0 at least hacking the core there I know there is no upgrades that I have to try and merge.

The site I want to build at the end of the day will use 100% custom components.

It will be my own landing page component, ticker component, and contact us component.

I have no need to play with 1.5 except to get a better understanding of it. Tho it would be nice to have the components be able to work in 1.5 and 1.0.

Found a way to hack this together with out modifying the core joomla. Created a system plugin that creates my own class of JDocumentRendererHead in the onAfterRoute.
