Finding the Joomla URL address for an article

If you're used to using Wordpress then you're probably wandering where you can view your article; as there's no easy to find preview button here.

Firstly find out what your article ID is

You can find this at the end of the URL when you are editing.  As pictured here.


Then all you need to do is add that number to the end of this URL ; changing the domain of course.

www.yourdomain.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=

If you're using SEF then you'll also need to make a Menu Item; and use the alias. Which is much better for being found by search engines.
