Joomla! 1.6 makes creating, managing, and organizing content easier in many respects. One of the main improvements is that Joomla! now allows you to categorize articles any way you like. The rigid old section and category system has been replaced by a more powerful content categorization system, called "nested categories". But there are many more improvements in the backend, making it easier to create and organize articles.
In this chapter, you'll learn about the benefits of Joomla!'s new content management features. We'll cover the following topics:
Organizing content using nested categories
Adding category notes and category metadata
New ways to display category contents on the site
Creating and editing content: using the updated article editor
Archiving and un-archiving articles
