The Content Editor Screen (also referred to at times as the Text Editor Screen) is a dizzying array of options. Very few options are necessary, but it helps to know what they all do.
Certain fields are required.
- Title: The Title of Your Entry
- Title Alias:
[I use this for internal (unpublished) comments only – this does not
display on the site anywhere or appear to have any function in Joomla.
Not really sure why it's even there.]
- Section: Choose the best option.
- Category: Choose the best option.
- Image Manager Icon: Use this icon
 to upload and insert images.
- PDF Manager Icon: Use this
 to upload and insert PDF downloads (can include the PDF icon, file size and title)
- Intro Text: review this post on how to safely copy and paste content from Word, email or other website into your Joomla Content Editor Screen. Intro Text = Teaser paragraph. User will be presented with a "Read More" to view all text.
- Main Text: Complete text after user clicks “Read More” or the navigation item directly.
! TIP: Your content detail pages on your website (the ones that show the full article) by default display Intro Text and Main Text, not just Maon text. So, Intro Text and Main Text need to be written as one article.
- Publish Time: You can specify a publish date that's later than the date you create the post.
- SAVE
