Apologies for the newbie question but I've just started using Joomla. I understand the general structure in terms of Section, Category and Article but had a general layout question. If I want to display 2 or more articles /content at predefined locations within a page, how is it possible?

Lets assume that Home is a Category style menu item and has 3 articles A, B and C. When I click Home, I would like to position A, B and C at predefined areas of the page (user 6, 7 and 8 respectively), I find that although I can position modules, I cannot seem to position each article

i guess that I can make 3 copies of a NewsFlash module and position each module at a location and then fill with content but surely there's a more pragmatic way. Could one of the admins please help?

Hi, content will only load in the main body section. The most customizing you can do it to is choose how many articles you want to display and how many columns the articles show. Other than that there's really no way to display content in multiple areas of the site.

Hope that helps.
