Note: Before we can create Content Items we have to create some Sections and Categories. It is easy to create them.

1. We are now going to use a table you made in Step 1: Planning a Joomla Site.
2. Log in to your administration area.
3. Navigate to Content:Section Manager.

4.   Click on icon New to create a New Section.
5.   In the field Title enter the name of your section (it will be seen only by you in administrator area).
6.   In the field Section name enter name you want to be seen by visitors in page headings.



7.   Click Save. Now we have a new section. But we need to create at least one category for our section.

Adding a Category
1. Navigate to Content:Category manager
2. Click on icon New to create a New Category
3. In the field Title enter the name of your category that will be seen only by you in administrator area.
4. In the field Category name enter name you want to be seen by visitors in page headings.
5. There is a drop down menu called Section. Select in which Section you want to create your new category.
6. Click Save. Now we have a new category.

Note: Sections and Categories are not directly visible on your Joomla Site. They only hold place for Content Items. Read below how to create them.

Note: Your Content Item is not visible on your Joomla Site, until you create a Menu Entry for your Content Item.
