How to add article in joomla

1.Log into your admin control panel for Joomla see fig(01). In the typical Joomla installation, this is done by pointing your web browser to “yourwebsite.com/administrator/”. When you enter the user name and password that you established for the web site’s Administrator at the time that Joomla was installed on the server.

                           2.Look for the "Add Article" button.Click on "Add article" fig(02)

                           3.On the article composition screen, start by entering the title to your article at the top. There is also a location for an “alias”, or alternate title.Select is the article publish? fig(03)
                           4.Type something text that starts the article. After the article is finished, this intro text will be displayed on the web site, along with a “Read More” button that takes visitors to the full article. So make your intro text a short summary or overview of the article.
                                                 
                            5. After you have entered your intro text, scroll down and click the button marked “Read More”. You will now see a red line appear under the intro text. This marks where the “read more” cut off point is located.

                           6.Write the remaining text under the red line. This is the main body of your article. Whatever you type here will not be visible to your web site visitors until they click the “Read More” button and are taken to the full version of the article.

                           7.Look on the right side of the screen for information about the Author. You can either select a registered member of your site from the pull down menu, or type the name of an Author Alias to attribute the article to. This step is not mandatory, but if you skip this step the site will say that the author is “Administrator”. This is fine for some people, but others feel that it looks more professional to use a person’s name as the author of the article.

                            8.Click the save button at the top of the screen. Once you click this button, the article will be published to your web site.

                             9.If you need to make changes to your article, you can do by way of the Article Manager. You can get to the Article Manager by clicking the article manager button on the main screen of the admin control panel, or by clicking the “Content” link in the navigation menu, then selecting “Article Manager” fig(04).
