 Chapter 4: Customizing Joomla!

Customizing means adapting a standard program to the needs of the user. In our case, you are the user and the standard program is Joomla!, or to be more correct, the front end and the back end of your Joomla! installation.
In the Joomla! administration (refer to Chapter 3), you can customize your site, make changes, and fill it with content. In this chapter we will customize the Joomla! Site, Menus, Content, Tools, and Help using various options available in the administration; customizing the Components and Extensions will be covered in the next chapter.
