Article Content System

 The core article system for Joomla the com_content is made up of a few parts that can be found in Joomla's Back-end administrator in the content menu.

• Section Manager
• Category Manager
• Front Page Manager
• Article Manager
• Articles Trash Manager

Now Joomla articles need a structure for the most part.
Which is made up of Sections and Categories so both the Section Manager and the Category Manager take care of that Job.
Below is a simple chart that gives you a visual of what I'm talking about.

Sections
    | Categories
             | Articles

So if we where making a website about Automobiles we would have a section about Automobiles and then categories Sports cars and Trucks.
This is a simple example you can have as many sections and categories as you like.
Sections are top level and categories are dependent on a section.

The content are your articles and they are mostly categorized by Section and Category.
In the next pages I will show you around the section and category managers.
