00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:03,000
Now that you have gotten a sense of how Joomla!

2
00:00:03,001 --> 00:00:06,001
is working, let's work on creating some content in Joomla!.

3
00:00:06,002 --> 00:00:10,002
To make an article appear on our Web site, we have to follow three steps.

4
00:00:10,003 --> 00:00:14,003
First of all, we want to create a category for the content, if that category

5
00:00:14,004 --> 00:00:15,004
doesn't already exist.

6
00:00:15,005 --> 00:00:20,005
Then we will create an article within that category.

7
00:00:20,006 --> 00:00:24,006
And finally we'll create a link to the article in the menu. In Joomla! 1.5,

8
00:00:24,007 --> 00:00:33,007
we had sections, categories, articles and menus, the SCAM. In Joomla! 3.0,

9
00:00:33,008 --> 00:00:43,008
the sections are gone, so now we have categories, articles and menus or the CAM.

10
00:00:43,009 --> 00:00:49,009
We can now nest categories as many levels deep as we wish.

11
00:00:49,010 --> 00:00:53,010
But each article still has a single category assigned to it in the end.

12
00:00:53,011 --> 00:01:00,011
You must create the category first, the article second and the menu item third

13
00:01:00,012 --> 00:01:05,012
due to the way that database is constructed. You cannot go out of order.

14
00:01:05,013 --> 00:01:09,013
Some users like to create all the categories first then all of the articles,

15
00:01:09,014 --> 00:01:12,014
then hook everything up to the menu;

16
00:01:12,015 --> 00:01:16,015
others like to do the process of each three of these for each item on the Web site.

17
00:01:16,016 --> 00:01:22,016
Either way works fine, whatever works for you is absolutely okay.

18
00:01:22,017 --> 00:01:26,017
It doesn't matter which methodology you prefer as long as you keep the steps in

19
00:01:26,018 --> 00:01:32,018
order, category, article and menu, the CAM.
