Beginner's Guide

A TYPICAL ARTICLE
The following items usually have to be taken into consideration when it comes to creating an article
on your website:
•
a text with one or more images
•
a teaser text for list views with a read more link pointing to the full article page
•
the article should appear on the front page and needs no menu link
•
nice to have: a scheduled publication date
•
nice to have: a printer-friendly version for visitors who would like to print the article
•
nice to have: an option to forward the article by email
Start
The article should appear on the front page of your website. If you deleted, did not install or change
your sample data, your Joomla front page will look like the one in Figure 1. It is, of course, not a bad
thing if posts should appear. :-)

When you log into the administration area, you will see an icon called Add New Article.
You may either click on this icon or access the form via the main navigation Content → Article Manager →
