Add an Article to Your Joomla Website
Follow this series of steps to add a new article to your joomla website anytime from anywhere.
- Login to your Joomla admin panel using this type of a URL: http://www.yourwebsite.com/adminstrator
- Go to Contents > Article Manager
- Click New
- Type in the Title of your page in the Title field, use your desired keywords where possible. This line is visible on Google's search results.
- Leave the alias field blank. Joomla will repeat what you have in your Title and will add a "dash" between all words.
- Select your Section and Category as needed, or leave them as Uncategorized if your website is small. If your website has hundreds of Articles, it is best to sort them by Sections and Categories (Joomla 1.5) and Sections and Sub-sections (Joomla 2.5). You need to create Sections before you create an Article.
- In Parameters > Metadata Information > Description type in your website's description,also using your keywords. Note that this line is visible on Google's search results, so treat it seriously. Assign a slightly different Description meta to each Article.
- Click Save
- Go to Main Menu > New
- Create a new Menu Item with the right Parent and assign the newly created article to it. You are done!
- Check via browser to see that everything looks ok.
