COC Sites HELP

Dear Church of Christ Site Customer,

Thank you for choosing to allow us to create a internet presence for your congregation. This site has a complete help file to help you maintain the site we have created.

You can change the content, and add new content, categories, and put new menu items on the site all by yourself.

There will be some learning curve, but once you do something once, you will find it easy to repeat.

Now it is time to add some content to your website! In order to create the desired hierarchy, you need first to gain understanding of the classes of content that are included in Joomla. Those are sections, categories and content items.

The highest level in the hierarchy is represented by the Sections. These can be managed through the Section Manager of the Content menu. Imagine the Sections as the file cabinet drawer that contain the folders (categories), filled with articles (content items).

This will give you an overview of how the site works. Please utilize all the functions of this site.
