Recently I am playing around with Joomla 1.5.x and wanted to write down two tips I learned about the Front Page setup.
First, how to remove the “Welcome to Front Page” page title in a Joomla 1.5.x with sample data installed. It sounded easy, but it still took me some time to find the right spot to do so.
- Move your mouse over the Menus top menu in administrator back-end, and then select Main Menu option or any menus with Home (Type of Articles-Frontpage) menu item.
- Click the title of Home or other name but with the type of Articles –> Frontpage
- Expand the Parameters (system) right menu, and you will see there are two options of Page Title and Show Page Title for you to resolve this “Welcome to Front Page” issue.
Now let me talk about the second tip of front page management. I put a “Welcome to…” article on the front page. And every time I added new articles onto the front page, I had to re-ordered the order of Front Page articles to make the “welcome to….” article always on the top.
Actually there is a way in Joomla (I tried in the version of 1.5.10) to allow you to make an article sticky on the front page.
- Move your mouse over the Content top menu in administrator back-end, then select Front Page Manager option.
- In the Order column make the “Welcome to…” article order as -1 or any number you feel the least enough to make this article always on the top (for example, -100000 hoho).
- Please remember to click the little floppy disk icon to Save you order changes. Joomla will not automatically save your changes at this moment.
Any other ideas how to remove the title of the front page article.
The above does not work for me

If somebody wants to make sticky post in category blog, put negative order to the article, go to menu items editor, choose item and change “The initial order” setting to “orderly”.
