I will take you through a step by step process of making a website using the open source content management system, Joomla. A Content Management System ( CMS ) is basically a software package which gives you a way separating the content from the view giving you more suppleness and simplicity of operation and maintenance. It also provides an easy to use framework to add and publish content to your internet site. In some ways it is similar to Wordpress but is more advanced and gives a lot more options both for view and content management.

if you want additional info on what a CMS is, you check out the Wikipedia.

You can find a lot of information at the Joomla home page for the more advanced settings and features but I can do my utmost to offer you as much information as possible.

for now lets begin with a basic local installation of Joomla on your PC. To fully implement Joomla, you'll need a file system, a database and a web server. Rather than installing and configuring every one of them separately, we may a package which includes every one of them.

you'll find these packages at Joomla Extension index which incidentally is where all of the extensions for Joomla are published. We will go extensions a bit later in this tutorial.

<strong>Basics of Joomla </strong>

As with any CMS, any Joomla site has two faces, first one is what the world sees'. We're going to refer to this part of the site as the frontend from now on. The other side of the web-site is the administration site where you spend a major hunk of your time adding content to you site and setting up how its displayed on the frontend. This is the back end of the site. The backend for Joomla is a very vital part of your website. To get to the administration page of your Joomla site, just add'/administrator' to the end of your page url.

Eg. Localhost/Joomla/administrator/

If that doesn't work, you might want to check the Read Me points out that came with it. Static content in Joomla is created as Articles. These articles can be placed in different categories which in-turn are in Sections. If the article is a stand alone page and does not belong in any of these Sections, it can be left out as a'Uncategorized' that means it is a static page by itself.

<strong>Creating an Article </strong>

click the button New to make a new article.

Lets create a new article called'Hello World' and make it a static page by selecting the Section as Uncategorized.
