I want to use a CMS to power my website in order to learn more about PHP. I chose joomla because Wordpress is more suitable for blogs, and my website doesn't behave like a blog. However I can't find any documentation or manual in the joomla site that will show me what functions joomla uses to call the database to display text that I may edit from time to time (or any other stuff), for example: The about page, In the future I may want to add more stuff about me on that page to the same article/paragraph but I don't know which function to use, I don't even know how to build a theme. Can anyone provide me with links to these places?
Joomla comes along with a its own admin control panel so that you can update your website contents later. You can access admin panel by typing http://yourdomain.com/administrator/ Then login with your username and password which you provided at the time of Joomla installation. If you want to edit the contents of About Us page (adding an image), please follow this link http://docs.joomla.org/Adding_an_image_to_an_article
