So, so for on our Joomla! site,
we've put in most of the sitemap but we are missing some major areas
of that sitemap still.
We are missing our Solar blog, in fact, the whole News & Information area,
the Solar blog and the Press Releases and I'd like to go ahead and add those now.
In the course of putting in the Solar blog I'll show you how to put in Read More links.
So I'm going to start by going to my Article Manager and I am going to go ahead
and go there, and I am going to start by making a new article, I am going to
click the New button here and I am going to give this a title.
In your Exercise Files, you'll find a document for the solar blog and I am
going to go head and take this first article, Embry house - a model of energy
efficiency Ctrl+C or Cmd+C to copy that, paste that right here into the title.
Our Category will be Solar and then I am going to highlight here the article
itself Ctrl+C or Cmd+C the copy, click in the article Ctrl+V or Cmd+V
to paste, there we go.
And what I'd like to have happen is, when I put together my Solar blog finally
which I am going to do in the next chapter on Menus, what I'd like to have on
the page when you go to the Solar blog is the title of the article a little bit
of introductory text, and then a link for Read More, and I think what I'd like
to do is for the picture that's associated with this article, I am going to put
that down at the bottom of the article, so it doesn't show up on that blog page.
So what I need to do now in Joomla!
is I need to specify exactly where that break happens.
So what part of this article is going to show up on that blog page, the little
bit of introductory text where the Read More link will show up that I click on
it and I go to the full text of the article which will show me all the text
and the picture on this page.
So where does that break happen exactly?
Well I think that we're just going to make it happen between the first and
second paragraphs, right here.
So, make sure I've actually got this is two paragraphs, I am going to click
right here before the start of the second paragraph, and to put in that
Read More link all I need to do is click the Read More button down here on the bottom.
This will put in a little red line and the red line indicates that the text
above this is the introductory text, this is what we'll show up on the blog page
followed by a button that says Read More.
And when I click that Read More button I'll go to a page that will show this full article.
The last thing I need to add here is my image, so I am going to put that on its
own line and I am going to click of my Image button down here on the bottom,
I am going to upload an image and I am going to put this in the blog folder that
I created earlier, so I am going to click on that link, and I am going to upload
my picture by clicking on the Browse button, and I am going to find my picture.
And that should be labeled here, blog-solar-house.
So I am going to go ahead and say Open and start the upload.
And I am picking that picture here and I am going to put in my alt text
The Embry house, I am not going to set any alignment because I've put this picture
on its own line, and then I am going to say Insert.
So now I've got a big picture, I have got my text here and so forth,
and that's all I need to do.
I am going to go ahead and say Save & Close, and you can see that I have my
article right here inside of my Article Manager.
So what I am going to do now is, I am going to finish putting in my Solar
articles, so I have a few more of these Announcing K-Eco Mini Panels.
Trend in alternative energy usage, and the Farmer installing solar power,
I have pictures for a few of these, you'll find them in your Exercise Files folder,
here inside of my folder, I am also going to put in this News and Information
article, it will be in the News and Information category and I am going to put
in the articles here associated with these press releases, there is three of
them, and there is pictures associated with them as well.
So I am going to go through now, I am going to put all of this content into
Joomla!, you do not need to put Read More links inside of these press releases,
just put the Read More links inside of the Solar blog articles and everything
else can go in as a regular article and add some pictures, and I will see you
in the next video.
