Sections, Categories, and Articles
Sections, Categories, and Articles
One of the most important parts of a website is the content. Now that we have a blank site
setup, let us get some articles on the site! Articles are sorted in two ways: sections and
categories. Sections can contain numerous categories, and categories can contain
numerous articles.
1. To add a section to your website, go to http://localhost/joomla15/administrator and
log in with the username “admin” and the password you specified during the
installation.
2. To begin managing sections, click on section manager:
3. Click on “New” on the Joomla! toolbar.
4. Insert a title and description for the section and then press “Save” on the toolbar.
5. Create as many sections as you need. Use sections to group generally similar
items together into groups. For our landscaping site, add a section for “Corporate”
and a section for “Products.”
6. Click on “Content” on the menu and select “Category Manager” when you are done
with sections.
