Joomla Help..?

May sound simple but…
In joomla i want to add text as a module. Like what you see in this example : http://demotemplates.joomlashack.com/element/index.php
Scroll down in the example to where it says user 8, How do i just simply add text to a module like that?
Thanks.

A lot of that is based on the skin and where they set some of those modules to work. It’s confusing as all get out, I come across some skins that just aren’t laid out too well and confuse the heck out of you.
I have not found an easy way of doing it myself aside from creating a skin or loading one that has modules where you’d like them to be.
In Joomla 1.5, follow these steps:
1. In the admin panel, go to Extensions > Module Manager
2. Click on “New” to create a new module.
3. In the screen where it asks you which type of module you want to make, make your choice depending on the type of module you want to add. Choose “Custom HTML” if you want just a plain text module. Click “Next” after making your selection.
4. In the module creation area, find where it says “Position.” From the dropdown menu next to it, choose “User 8″ or whatever the position number of that module is. NOTE: You’ll have to consult your skin to find out the name of the module position. The position MUST be defined in the template in order for you to be able to use it.
5. Proceed to fill in the rest of the required text/information for your new module.
6. When finished, click “Save”.
7. Go back to the Module manager screen. Make sure your new module is published and visible.
Voila!
