In a few steps you have created and published brand new content. By categorizing your new article in the right way, and clicking on the Show on Front Page option, the article text is added to the home page. Moreover, the article title is added as a hyperlink to the dynamic Latest News list, and finally the article also turns up on the page that shows items from the News category.

A good web page shows a clear structure. The Joomla! example site presents lots of content in quite a crowded layout; every single space is filled with text. The site displays more than ten little blocks of content around the main content area (the mainbody). There are four menus, three of which are shown in the left-hand side column. Putting that many blocks on the page will almost certainly distract the reader from the main content. We're going to give the content some breathing room and help the reader scan the page.

Let's clean things up a little. We'll rearrange our screen and remove some unnecessary items. In Joomla!, you use the Module Manager to change the position and other settings of the site's modules (building blocks).
