It Doesn't Pay To Work Late At Night

I always seem to be working on this site at the end of the day - right when my brain is turning to mush!
At any rate, I finally had enough of that gray text so I changed it. That is done in the CSS file. The trick is finding it. The new color is certainly easier on the eyes.

Here are a few more tips when using Joomla. The front page is set up in a standard "Front Page Blog Format"
What this means is ANY article in the system will show there when I designate them to front page. If you have a look, I've got articles in the Diet Tips and Dieting Myths and I've tagged a couple in each of those to show on the front page.
The Diet Tips and Dieting Myths are set up to show in a blog format as well but they will only pull articles that have been placed into their respective Diet Tips and Dieting Myths "folder" in the admin.
This type of precise control is what makes Joomla such a powerful and versatile platform to use.
Right now if you click the main topics in the header I've just got dummy content attached but these are set up as single pages and will be a good place for affiliate products.
Ah yes, affiliate products - I hope to get to that tomorrow...
Here's another feature that I love
Menus - If you notice the mini menu that contains the Diet Tips, Dieting Myths and Dangers of Dieting - it only shows in the dieting section. You have complete control where that menu appears.
Menus are made from modules in the admin and you can assign them to appear anywhere and with any content you desire.
Same with the adsense - its in a module as well. Thats why I picked it. I can have that vertical adsense group show on the Diet Tips pages and then create another vertical adsense group and make it a different color and have it show on the Dieting Myths pages.
Very precise control.
If you have been using Wordpress and are frustrated with pages and posts and where they should show, with Joomla its not a problem.
Just think of each main topic listed there as a mini website - very easy to do - very easy to silo.
Once I finish the dieting section I'll start on the others and record those as I work on them.
Let me know if you would like access to those videos. Post your comments below.
late entry - just installed my Google Analytics. Duh! I normally do that right away. Oh well better late then never.
