Joomla 3 Part B

This is the 2nd installment in my blog post series about Joomla 3 based on the video training course I am studying with Addison-Wesley. If you click content/new article it lets you post a new article. If you fill in the article details and select a relevant category it links to that category. Obviously by article details I mean heading and text. If you type an article in notepad it contains less formatting information than many programs and if you click the html button you will see cleaner code. I would suggest use gimp to edit your photos before going on the website. It's at http://www.gimp.org . It's free and there is a tutorial on using it on this site. It's also just as powerful as photoshop. If you go into global configuration and choose toggle editor it lets you copy and paste html which can be something like the reference to an Amazon book. Don't forget to refresh it. If you select global configuration, editing layout has features for things like number of featured blogs or intro blogs where it only shows a small portion of it. In global configuration, user, there is an unpublish button which can remove something temporarily. There is also a trash and remove trash button with the latter removing something permanently. There is if you scroll down a meta description box where you can enter information that will appear in the search engine when someone searches for something. Don't use the meta keywords box as there has been so much abuse of keywords in the past, search engines ignore it. I may do another blog post in this series later tonight. It's likely this whole series will only be in 4 parts as there aren't that many features to joomla.
