Framework Tutorials

These tutorials are a great way to learn how to use Joomla! in general and the Frameworks in particular. The videos are short and can be viewed as often as you like.

Content

Adding content to a web site keeps it fresh and encourages visitors to view your site often. Joomla! refers to content as "articles" and the framework is structured to allow many people to add articles. You can decide who can publish articles directly to the web site and who needs to have their article previewed before being published. This is a great way for teachers, parents, students, coaches, alumnae/i, as well as friends and family members to contribute to your web site.

Media

Pictures, movies, and sound clips can greatly enhance an article. The Content article titled "Articles, part 1" shows how to add a picture to articles. The tutorials in this section will cover picture galleries and embedded video clips. Although audio clips are not included here, they work the same way as a video clip.
