It's easy to get started creating your website. Knowing some of the basics will help.
A content management system is software that allows you to create and manage webpages easily by separating the creation of your content from the mechanics required to present it on the web.
In this site, the content is stored in a database. The look and feel are created by a template. Joomla! brings together the template and your content to create web pages.
To login to your site use the user name and password that were created as part of the installation process. Once logged-in you will be able to create and edit articles and modify some settings.
Once you are logged-in, a new menu will be visible. To create a new article, click on the "Submit Article" link on that menu.
The new article interface gives you a lot of options, but all you need to do is add a title and put something in the content area. To make it easy to find, set the state to published.
The look and feel of your site is controlled by a template. You can change the site name, background colour, highlights colour and more by editing the template settings. Click the "Template Settings" in the user menu.
The boxes around the main content of the site are called modules. You can modify modules on the current page by moving your cursor to the module and clicking the edit link. Always be sure to save and close any module you edit.
You can change some site settings such as the site name and description by clicking on the "Site Settings" link.
More advanced options for templates, site settings, modules, and more are available in the site administrator.
Your site actually has two separate sites. The site (also called the front end) is what visitors to your site will see. The administrator (also called the back end) is only used by people managing your site. You can access the administrator by clicking the "Site Administrator" link on the "User Menu" menu (visible once you login) or by adding /administrator to the end of your domain name. The same user name and password are used for both sites.
There is much more to learn about how to use Joomla! to create the website you envision. You can learn much more at the Joomla! documentation site and on the Joomla! forums.
West Hawk Lake is located on the Southeast corner of the province of Manitoba at a latitude of 49º 46'N and a longitude of 95º 11'W. It is 100 million +/- years of age and is approximately 3.6km in diameter. It has a central depth of approximately 111 metres. Unlike many Canadian impact features this Crater Lake is easy to reach. West Hawk Lake is located a mere 2km north of the Trans Canada Highway and 4km west of the Manitoba-Ontario border. Interest in West Hawk Lake was initiated because of its great depth in comparison to surrounding lakes in the area (Falcon Lake 21m and Caddy Lake 5.8m) and because of its circular shape. A gravity survey showed an anomaly indicating the rock beneath the lake had been severely fractured, as in other known meteorite craters.
From January to March 1965 Canadian astronomers Halliday and Griffen supervised the drilling of a test hole at the centre of the lake. The hole reached a depth of 727m below the lake level. The bottom of the lake was found at 108m and soft sediment encountered to a depth of 151m. Boulders were then encountered for the next 3.3m which made drilling difficult.
The transition from sediments to fragmented rock occurs at the 202m mark. Study of the fragments near the 457m mark show micro fractures in the quartz crystals, similar to that of the Barringer crater in Arizona and other impact craters.
Early in 1966 Halliday and Griffen returned to West Hawk Lake and supervised the drilling of three more holes. From this date the best estimate for the original rim diameter of the crater is 2.4km. This indicates that severe erosion has moved the present shoreline about 600m beyond the pear of the original rim which may well have stood 100m above the present lake level.
Reasonable estimates suggest the crater was formed by a meteorite 150m in diameter impacting the Earth at 16km/sec (58000km/hr or 36000miles/hr).
Think of it! This meteorite was about the size of two football field's (150m) and it blew a hole almost 2km in diameter. A 32 story building such as the Richardson Building could be placed in the centre of the lake and it would barely break the lake's surface. Similarly, the top of the "Golden Boy's torch on top of Manitoba's Legislative Building would be 34m (109ft.) below the lake's surface. ( For purposes of conversion: 1metre is equal to 3.28 feet.
