Hi

I have been using joomla for more than a year now and I love it from the first day…
I am still not able to understand one thing… :-[ i.e. suppose I want post some article like “welcome to my site” on the FrontPage and I want it to stay on the top.. While the new news contents gets added below…kind of “stick the first article on the top like stickey in forums”

How we can do this?  ???

Thanks ;)

3 steps:
1. A position has to be defined in your template just before the mainbody
2. Then create, though Module Manager, a New Module and enter the text you like in the editor there.
Choose a position defined in your template.
3. Assign the new module to the Menu Items you want. All for all pages, first menu item for the mainmenu if you want this text to appear only on the Home Page of your site.

This gets asked so often, it might be good to
a/ add a default position of "sticky"
b/ add a module "sticky content"
c/ requiere templates to feature that above mainbody..

Yes that works fine, but be aware, that {mosimage} and other bots aren't called on this. You still can put the links into the code directly, so it's not too hard ;)
