<p>Joomla! is all about allowing you to create a site that matches your vision. The possibilities are limitless; this sample site will just get you started.</p>
<p>There are a few things you should know to get you started.</p>
<p>Every Joomla! Web site has two parts: the Site (which is what your site visitors see) and the Administrator (which is where you will want to do a lot of the site management). You need to log in to the Administrator separately. There is a link to the administrator on the top menu that you will see when you log in.</p>
<p>You can edit articles in the Site by clicking on the edit icon. You can create a new article by clicking on the Create Article link in the top menu.</p>
<p>To do other things, like edit the contact form, edit the modules or change the site name you need to log in to the administrator.</p>
<p>Some quick tips for working in the Administrator</p>
<ul>
<li>To change the site name, background colour and secondary colour, go to the Template Manager and click on My Default Style (Protostar). Look on the Options tab. You can also add a description there.</li>
<li>To change the image on all the pages: Go to the Module Manager and click on Image Module.</li>
<li>To edit the Side Module: Go to Extensions, Module Manager and click on Side Module.</li>
<li>To edit the Contact Form: Go to Components, Contacts. Click on Your Name.</li>
</ul>
<p>Once you have your basic site you may want to install your own template (that controls the overall design of your site) and then, perhaps additional extensions.</p>
