Hello
I am starting with Joomla and have some questions, first
the site I'm working on is residing at
www.potpourrilegal.com/joomla/
The template I'm using was available at Joomlage.com the Wilderness style.
I uploaded the template per instructions but I cannot get the left sidebar to show up. Will I need to create single menus in the left-side, articles, and modules to be visible?
Also, in the right-side area do I need to create new components to get rid of the Joomla, Beginners, Up-graders, Professionals?
Thanks Ken

Hi
For the content to be visible it does need to be published.
If you create a custom html module and publish it in the left hand column it should become visible.
Have a look at these tutorials they will get you up and running very quickly.
