Tutorial #7: Creating Articles (Joomla 2.5)

Before creating an article, visit the previous tutorial on how to create a category. The video below explains how to create an article in Joomla 2.5. To create an article, log into the back end of your site and go to the Article Manager.

Because you cleared all content, you will have no articles. To create an article, select the New button from the toolbar.

Paying attention to red asterisks again, complete the required information which includes a title, a category in which to save the article, and (even though it isn't indicated with a red asterisk) some article text. Be sure to save your work. Please know the editor currently set as your default editor doesn't have a lot of functions. The next tutorial will explain how to download and install the JCE editor, which features more functions that this editor.

After saving and closing your article, you will be returned to the Article Manager where you can view all of the articles you've created. The final step is to create a single article menu item type.
