In this chapter we have learned the correlation between the administrative interface and the front page and the various methods of adding information to our website. We explored how making changes in the method used to display that information changes how the information is displayed on our front page. We also learned how to create custom menu items, activate them, move and deactivate others, and learned about the text editor and file uploads manager and how to use them. We made our site multilingual to make it easier for people of other nationalities to navigate our site more easily. And for some of us, we wrote our first piece of PHP code.
