====Module Positions====

Above, the line which says <code>name="top"</code> adds a module position called ''top'' and allows Joomla to place modules into this section of the template. The <code>type="component"</code> line contains all articles and main content (actually, the [[S:MyLanguage/component|component]]) and is very important. It goes in the centre of the template. 

Note: You can add your own module lines anywhere you want in the body, but you have to add a corresponding line to the templateDetails.xml file which sits alongside the index.php of your template.
