Now that you have a good understanding of Sections and Categories as well as basic Template and module positions, we can dive right into the basics of how to construct menus for your site. If you are still a bit fuzzy on how to structure and organize your content with Sections and Categories, be sure to review the material in the associated PDF guide.

This particular video is pulled from the 90+ other videos from our Start Learning Joomla video training series. It's meant to be in-context with the rest of the material, but it works well as a stand-alone video and should serve to give you a great overview of how to construct menus for an example site.

We hope you're ready to learn something very important. Here is where Joomla starts to get very interesting. Menus are the skeleton upon which we build Joomla sites. Everything is attached to a menu in some way and it is Menus that determine how people navigate around your site. But In Joomla, menus aren't just about navigation, but also controlling the actual site layout, including what pages get assigned to what URLs.

For our Newspaper site example, we want to create a series of simple menus to cover our News topics. We'll expand these further as we develop the site.

Since our site has Local, National and World News topics, we want to create top-level menu items to handle that. We also want to create sub menu items for each category under each section. Let's do that now.
