Front Page Blog Layout

A Blog Layout in Joomla! has 3 main areas: Leading, Intro, and Links. These are shown in the diagram

Articles in the Leading Area always display in one column, using the full display width. Articles in the Intro
Area may display in one, two, or three columns, depending on the Columns setting. The parameters below
control the number of Articles in each area and the order in which they display. If an Article has a "Read
more..." break, only the text before the break (called the Intro Text) will display, along with a "Read
more..." link.

· # Leading. Number of Articles to show using the full width of the main display area. "0" means that
no Articles will show when using the full width. If an Article has a "Read more..." break, only the
part of the text before the break (the Intro text) will display.
