Creating Article Topics

An article "topic" is a way for you to group articles that are about a similar subject. A brand new Tiki installation, like yours, contains no article topics.

From the Menu:

1. Select Articles > Admin Topics. The Article Topics page appears.
   The Admin Topics page appears. Use the Article Topics page to list the article topics and create new topics.
   
2. Right now there are no topics. Use the Create a New Topic form to create a new article topic. Enter the following information in these fields:
   • Name: Enter a topic for your articles. For example, you can create a topic named Sports for all sports-related articles on your site.
   • Image: Click browse and select an image (in GIF, JPG, or PNG format) from your PC to represent this topic. This is optional, but will help your website's visitors.
   
   

    Tip

   For best results, use an image that is approximately 100x100 pixels.
3. Click Add to create the topic. Tiki saves the information, uploads the image you selected, and reloads the page with your newly created article topic.
   

Now that you have created a topic, you should configure the article types.
