In this issue of 10 Minute Joomla! Tips I am going to use a great little component appropriately called "Content Export" to export Joomla Sections, Categories and Articles from one site to another.

Joomla Sections and Categories - an overview
Blogs - 10 Minute Joomla! Tips Video Podcast

In this issue of 10 Minute Joomla! Tips we are going to take a look at Joomla's Sections and Categories structure.
No other topic has confused so many people so needlessly in the Joomla world. Sections and Categories are simply a categorization system where Sections could more easily be thought about as Categories and the categories themselves as "sub-categories".
I am sure, many are now just as confused as before. So why not view this Screencast and take a look not only at what Sections and Categories are, but also at the new K2 component, which turns the concept on its head (and forecasts the way the upcoming new version of Joomla will work), as well as how to create the proper menu links to display sections and categories in Joomla.
Retrieve your Joomla Admin password

Have you ever forgotten your Joomla Admin Password?
In this Video, Marco of ContiCreative.com will show you a few simple methods for retrieving your password in Joomla!
The first method is the simplest: Just click on the "Forgot Password?" Link in your login module.
But what if your login module is not published? Then use this link: http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=reset to bring up the password reset page.
(For the username the link is http://www.yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_user&view=remind
Did you use the wrong email when you created the site? Bummer!
The trick above won't work. It's time to go to PhpMyAdmin and perform some magic on the MD5 hash Joomla stores the password in.
In the Screencast, Marco will show you how to copy an MD5 hash from one website database to another or you can even generate your own MD5 and paste it in the proper field by Googling "MD5 Generator" or going to http://www.adamek.biz/md5-generator.php
Either way, you won't need to dispare if you forgot your password. One way or another you'll be able to get back in.

How easy is Joomla to use ? Compare with sending an email.
