While Joomla is an incredibly useful tool to manage website content, it does have its quirks.  If you are a newbie, you will surely run into some problems.  One of the most common questions asked about first installing Joomla 1.5 is, “How can I remove the text on the home page that reads, ‘Welcome to the Frontpage’”?

Here are the steps to remove, “Welcome to the Frontpage”:

2. In your administration portal go to:

   2. Click on the “Menu Items” icon in the “Main Menu” row
   3. Click on the  ”Home” link to edit the link
   4. Click on “Parameters (System)” and change or delete the Page title.

   6. Save your changes.
