Adding Content Using Modules - Joomla

In addition to the primary content area on your site which displays articles, you have several module positions available to display information.
A module position is a designated space in which you can put content. Module positions are generally smaller spaces suitable for advertisements or announcements. The module positions on your site are labeled in the layout below: Hint: Keep a copy of this layout close at hand for future reference.

When there is no content in any one module position, the position collapses freeing space for main page content or other modules. To add module and position it:
