Before there was Photoshop, these photos shows the mark ups by the editor/art director of the time and the process of simply painting on them, in preparation for their use. Taken from an exhibition, "Martin Parr's Painted Photographs" on in Liverpool, the photos capture a moment in design history, before the dominance of digitally produced imagery. Exhibition is on from 13 Jan — 18 Mar 2012 in Liverpool. Click here for more details.

I've had this issue for a while yet and only now I've made an effort to correct it. I started noticing that when I published a new article, it would appear at the top of the list of articles, as it should but when I publish a new article, it would randomly place it down the order and older post would appear below the new post. Of course this is not how I wanted my articles to be displayed, rather the correct order should be the most recent article first. I finally found this post that help in correcting this issue.

How to Control Article Order on Joomla

What this meant for me was that once I set the order to "No, Order by Primary Order" and "Default" this half fixed the issue. I then needed to go back into all my articles and make sure the "Start Publishing" date was correct, by clicking on the little calendar and hitting the day that I created the article. That seemed to finally fix my article order problem. Hope this has help anyone with the same Joomla issue.
