superblogger setup

The demo site for the Elevate2 template takes advantage of two other joomla modules and a custom html module to give the left column a sidebar kind of feel.

  • The top image is just an html module with an image placed in it.
  • The second module is the mod_blogcal-j15 module created by Drew Willis. We tweaked the module ever so slightly and our tweaked version can be found in the free download area in the Joomla Bamboo download area.
  • The module that sits beneath the blogcal module is the core Joomla mostread module.
