A CMS system is great tool for building a website. being able to categorize your articles makes for a more plaeasant user experience and also makes it more easy to manage things both visually and time management wise. If you are new to Joomla! 1.5 and want to know about how sections and categories work, this is a great starting place.
            



This is a simple introductory tutorial for Joomla! 1.5. It covers adding an article to your webpage. This is probably the very first thing anyone tries to do when testing a CMS for the first time. Since each CMS does things differently it can be tricky trying to add content to a website. This tutorial eases the learning curve for Jomla considerably.
          



One of the fist and most important things you can do after creating a website is to add a statistics application. Google analytics is the defacto service for gathering website information. This is a video tutorial about how to add a Google Analytics ID in Joomla 1.5
        



One of the hardest things to do in any of the more popular CMS is to create and extension or module. This is because the easier it is for the end user the more complicated the code and procedure become for the programmer. If you are not the originating programmer then you have your work cut out for you. Depending on the level of documentation and the willingness of others to part with needed information it can be easy or hard. Sometimes though you just need a good "Hello world" script to get you started in the right direction.
    



It is with great pride that the Joomla! community announces to the world the immediate availability of Joomla! 1.5 Stable [Khepri].  As a community of contributors, we have been through celebrations and tribulations. We have had fun, and we have worked hard. We have learned from and helped one another. What started two and a half years ago with a letter to the community has grown into a great opportunity for both the Joomla! project and community to benefit from these efforts and to consider our future. People have contributed enormous amounts of time and energy to make Joomla! 1.5 what it is today. Developers collaborated over long distances, around the clock, enthusiastically contributing to Joomla!. Hours writing code combined with intense discussions on everything from usability to extensibility have defined many developers' lives over the last two and a half years. Countless others have identified and fixed bugs along the way.  Documenters have tracked changes to help make life easier for everyone who uses or develops in Joomla! 1.5. Translators for dozens of languages have prepared language packs.  Huge amounts of time and energy have gone into event organization, team management, and infrastructure upkeep.  Our forums are overflowing with those asking and answering questions about Joomla! 1.5, helping overcome problems and reaching out to newcomers in a concerted effort to be helpful. Our growing and vibrant open source community is innovating in many ways. The response from community members in both development [Pizza Bugs and Fun] and documentation [Doc Camp] has been both overwhelming and warming. The Google Highly Open Participation Contest energized and excited mentors and students alike, while helping solidify Joomla!'s future by involving talented young people in producing and supporting open source software. As an application, Joomla! 1.5 boasts remarkable advances over Joomla! v1.0 in the areas of extensibility, usability and internationalization. Building extensions is vastly easier and faster because of the comprehensive new API. The simplified user interface eliminates unnecessary clicks and context changes for site administrators and managers. Support for extended character sets, right to left languages, and translation of all static text in the front end and the administrator allows enhanced internationalization and worldwide use. New options for use of layout overrides and template parameters give designers total control over the look and feel of sites. While this release marks a major milestone in our history, it also marks a new beginning. The next phase offers the opportunity to bring together the code created, lessons learned, and momentum gained, to build something truly great. It took us tens of thousands of hours, thousands of revisions, and hundreds of people to get to this point. It has been a remarkable journey filled with fun, discovery, and enlightenment where everyone has something to offer and anyone can contribute.  Come join in.
