A content management system ,such as Joomla, is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.

The Joomla article editor is similar to many desktop publisher text editors. You can copy/paste, type, format, add images and links:

Yes! Absolutely! Joomla web sites are search engine friendly (SEF).  They are coded to be 100% XHTML and CSS compliant. This allows Joomla to be:

1. Search engine friendly – they yield higher search engine page ranking naturally or "organically".
   
2. Browser friendly – they work well in modern browsers.

Even when utilizing cool display "widgets" that help reduce the overall text footprint on the page, all the text text is still present in the underlying XHTML, thus it remains quite readable by search engines. Additionally, the XHTML page code is ordered in such a way as to improve your "organic" or natural search engine optimization (SEO) score.
