I am struggling with this a little bit as well. I am trying to tie together the logical links between articles modules, contexts etc. It seems the template has lots of articles and lots of modules. How can i find out where these articles are presented (in which modules) so that i can edit the correct ones.
As well as this where does the link between modules and pages show up? I can see lots of modules but not sure on which page they will ultimately be presented. As well as this where to the images tie into it all?
Is there a quick outline of the process required to create a new page. Add the standard modules, edit the texts that appear in them and chuck in a new picture. If i can do that i have everything i need. but i dont know where to start.
mmm

If you go back through this thread, you'll see some examples of how content is organized and published.
You can also look here:
docs.joomla.org/Beginnershttp://docs.joomla.org/Beginners
Basically, content is published two way; as Articles, or Modules.
Modules cannot be edited from the front end, so even if you are logged on the front end as admin, you won't see the edit icon that you see for Articles.
To see what is published where, you can look at the template positions in the template module-position screen shot from the demo.
And if you're confused about where something is on the front end when you are looking for it on the back end, add this ?tp=1 to the end of your URL to view the module positions.
E.g.: www.mysite.com/joomla/index.php?tp=1
So, if you can figure out if it's an Article or Module, that's half the battle.
Next, you want to login to the back end as admin.
For Articles, go to the Article Manager, all the Articles will be listed there, you can use the sort feature to narrow your search.
For Modules, go to the Module Manager, all the Modules will be listed there, you can use the sort feature to narrow your search.
If you know the position, for example, left, advert1, user1, you can sort that way.
If you know the type of module, for example, banner, login, you can sort that way. - Thanks,
jim

Many Thanks for the info. I have read through the dummies guide and used ?tp=1 to find out whats a module and whats not. Slowly picking it all up.
Is there any way to find out what type of module is show on the page. There seem to be several different vareities and i an not sure of the difference between them.
Thanks
