How do I add more content to the front page? Currently, it only holds three published stories and the third one seems to fit awkwardly?

In your content item pages you have the option to SHOW ON FRONT PAGE check this box for more content to appear…;)

put a link up and we can see what you mean about the awkward fit

I do have more than three items marked to show on front page, but only three show on front page the rest are shown on the more pages link at the bottom. i don’t see the option you’re talking about?

Go into your menu manager and go to your homepage menu and change the way its set up

change the colums to 1

change the intro’s to as many as you need press apply then refresh your page…see what you have and keep tinkering till you get what you need

# Leading
# Intro
Columns
# Links

thanks for all your help mfcphil!

I don’t have any homepage menu? I don’t see anywhere to change the columns to 1 either? I looked everywhere even with the template options?

Thanks again

OK in your Joomla CMS (the site) you have a section called MENU MANAGER

Its on your opening screen after you Log-Into your admin system…the picture with the magic wand..or you can click SITE and scroll down to the Menu Manager button.

This is where all your menu buttons are Yours are “Home” “A P English” “English 12” and so on….

CLICK HERE FOR A TUTORIAL

When you find this click the HOME and you will find the things I talked about earlier.

I have seen you widgets working in Firefox….even your text viewed in Firefox I think you still need to reduce Columns to 1

This seems to be a problem with the opening of your widgets….after 10 mins opening your page in IE7 its says waiting for four items, I can only assume its the widgets

Your page looks a lot better…any more trouble just ask 🙂

i’ve just dropped the widgets in user5 due to the IE problems. I just added them as pages under the usermenu for students.

Actually, I wanted to put RSS feeds in the user5, but I can’t seem to get it to work. It shows the titles, but not the feeds?

I also wanted to add a “latest news” list in the user5, but I can’t seem to figure out how to separate the news according to specific classes.

Any ideas?

You can put the syndicate module in user5 which is your RSS feeds.

When I put an RSS feed (ex. NY Times) in the user5, all i get is the title…no feed or content. However, when I move the feed to left or right mod, it works fine? I even adjusted the feed so it was only 1 story thinking it would be too long. Still nothing.
I put a mock one here to show you. I didn’t want to put it on the site until i figure it out.
