This article is the first place to look when you wish to add content to your Joomla! site managed by MLDS Premium. By the end of this article you should understand the layout of sections, categories and content. You should also know how the administration interface in Joomla! works and how to navigate it.  I will not go into using the Joomla! editor which will be covered in another article.

the Joomla! administrator interface

Joomla! administrative interface is located entirely inside the website.  This means no special software is needed nor a high powered computer.  All you need is an up to date web browser (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Opera).  

Logging In

To access the administrator interface, go to your regular website and append '/administrator' to the address.  For example if my site is located at:

'http://www.mycompany.org'

the administrative login is located at

'http://www.mycompany.org/administrator' 

You will be presented with a login form like below.admin_login

 

In the 'Username' box, put the name of your user.  This will be the same user you use to login into the regular Joomla! site.  The same password is also used.
