Editing content in Joomla is extremely easy. You can edit content from the front end of the website, or you can edit content from the backend of the website.
To edit content from the front end of the website you must first be logged in. It is important to note that you must be logged into the front end of the site in order to edit from the front end.

As mentioned in my last blog, Joomla uses dynamic URLs. These URLs contain characters for passing information to the current web page. These URLs can be long and complicated and may not be indexed by many of the major search engines. The following URL is an example of a dynamic URL:
http://www.lab11.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=32

Today I will be discussing how to create and use URLs in the Joomla CMS.
Joomla uses dynamic URLs to display content. This means that the variables inside the URL determine what content is shown, what template is used, and also what modules will be displayed on the page.
http://www.your-site.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=35&Itemid=46
The example URL is shown above is a basic URL for a content item. From this URL you can see that the id of the content item is 35 and that the Itemid used for this page is 46.
