Creating or adding a new article in Joomla is fairly easy once you get the hang of it.
Joomla uses the term “article” when referring to pages or blog posts. It is basically an piece of content and can be used in any format. As a page, post or news item.
Joomla places their content in Sections and Categories. This may be confusing for people at first but it allows for much more complex structures of content.
For this tutorial we are going to keep it simple. We are going to skip the part of creating a section and a category for a different post. I am going to go straight to creating or adding a article.
Example
So you have a Joomla website and you want to add a About Us page.
Steps to adding the page (Article)
Step 1 – Start by logging into your admin panel
Step 2 – Put your cursor over the CONTENT tab at the top of your admin panel. Then click on Article Manager (see image below).
Step 3 – On the top right hand side of your screen there is a New button with a white plus(+) sign inside a green circle. Click the button (see image below)
Step 4 – You will then proceed to add your article title, content and keywords. You will also need to select the Section and Category but we will leave this for a later post. You do not need to enter anything for the alias, however you can if you like. And you can choose to publish it to the Front page (home) if you like. You will also need to enter your description and keywords for your article. This is not required but recommended for SEO purposes. (See image below)

Step 5 – Once you have completed step 4 you are ready to save your new page and publish it. If you click the Save button at the top right hand corner, it will save and publish your new article and then take you back to your list of articles. If you click Apply it will save and publish your article but you will remain in that window. Sort of like the Save and Save As feature in Word.
And that’s it your done! Now you can go to the front-end of your site and view your changes.
Good luck
