It's easy to get started creating your website. Knowing some of the basics will help.

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is software that allows you to create and manage webpages easily by separating the creation of your content from the mechanics required to present it on the web.

In this site, the content is stored in a database. The look and feel are created by a template. Joomla! brings together the template and your content to create web pages.

Logging in

To login to your site use the user name and password that were created as part of the installation process. Once logged-in you will be able to create and edit articles and modify some settings.

Creating an article

Once you are logged-in, a new menu will be visible. To create a new article, click on the "Submit Article" link on that menu.

The new article interface gives you a lot of options, but all you need to do is add a title and put something in the content area. To make it easy to find, set the state to published.

Template, site settings, and modules

The look and feel of your site is controlled by a template. You can change the site name, background colour, highlights colour and more by editing the template settings. Click the "Template Settings" in the user menu.

The boxes around the main content of the site are called modules. You can modify modules on the current page by moving your cursor to the module and clicking the edit link. Always be sure to save and close any module you edit.

You can change some site settings such as the site name and description by clicking on the "Site Settings" link.

More advanced options for templates, site settings, modules, and more are available in the site administrator.

Site and Administrator

Your site actually has two separate sites. The site (also called the front end) is what visitors to your site will see. The administrator (also called the back end) is only used by people managing your site. You can access the administrator by clicking the "Site Administrator" link on the "User Menu" menu (visible once you login) or by adding /administrator to the end of your domain name. The same user name and password are used for both sites.

There is much more to learn about how to use Joomla! to create the website you envision. You can learn much more at the Joomla! documentation site and on the Joomla! forums.

Ghislaine Morgan is in much demand internationally as a workshop leader/choral coach, and singing teacher. She initially read music at Oxford University before studying music education at London University and then majoring in singing at the Royal College of Music. She now trains choirs and individual singers mainly in Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and the UK. She is the founder/director of the Sintra International Singing and Choral Conducting Course, and the director of the Casole International Renaissance Polyphony School.

As a soprano, for 20 years she performed throughout Europe, India, Japan and the USA with the top UK vocal ensembles, such as The Monteverdi Choir, The Tallis Scholars, The Sixteen, the King’s Consort, The Richard Hickox Singers and with opera choruses including The Aix-en-Provence Festival Opera, The Bath Festival Opera and Opera de Lyon. She appeared as soloist on recordings for the Arte Nova, Decca, EMI, Gimell, Naxos, Richmond and Regent labels and was a member of the choir of St. Bride’s Church, Fleet Street.
 
Solo engagements included a tour of South Africa singing Mahler’s Das Knaben Wunderhorn; recording the title role of Handel’s Deborah for German radio; concerts for the Mathieson Music School Calcutta International Festival, the Tel Aviv Festival for Vocal music, and the Sligo Festival of Baroque Music; and collaborations with Ballet du Nord. Sung repertoire embraced Monteverdi’s Vespers to Finzi’s Dies Natalis, Mozart’s Mass in C Minor to Canteloube’s Songs of the Auvergne.
 
Educational work now being her focus she has a passion for encouraging others to be expressive with confidence, and a desire to demystify vocal technique. Her teaching career has been varied - from training trebles for the national opera houses, to boys on an Indian Mission station. She presently works with choral scholars at Cambridge University, has private teaching practices in London and Amsterdam, and gives performance classes at Morley College.
