 A compilation of images and texts on the greatest dancer-courtesan of all times: Caroline Otero.

    Based on the private collection of Alkis Raftis, containing original postcards, books and articles. Completed with material from various other sources, this work aims at assembling the full range of information available on this unique personality.

    Considered the most beautiful woman of her time - around 1900 - as well as the most relentless lover of rich and powerful men, Caroline Otero lived an intense life full of dance, sex and gambling. No woman can compare with her in glamour and scandals, in the number of men who committed suicide for her, in the number of royalty who slept with her and in the number of millions lost in the casino.

    A living legend during the first half of the 20th century, she retired early and was then totally forgotten. Born in Gallicia, Spain, raped at the age of 11 in her village, she moved to Paris to become the first ever star of show business. Her Spanish dances on stage turned the mind of men and inflamed the jealousy of women. Her raw sensual attraction was irresistible: poets dedicated poems to her, theater managers scrambled to books her, journalists wrote raptuous articles, while crowned lovers heaped diamonds on her.

    She danced to arouse men, she squeezed fortunes out of her admirers, then lived unobserved her last 50 years losing everything on the roulette tables.

It's easy to get started creating your website. Knowing some of the basics will help.

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is software that allows you to create and manage webpages easily by separating the creation of your content from the mechanics required to present it on the web.

In this site, the content is stored in a database. The look and feel are created by a template. The Joomla! software brings together the template and the content to create web pages.

Site and Administrator

Your site actually has two separate sites. The site (also called the front end) is what visitors to your site will see. The administrator (also called the back end) is only used by people managing your site. You can access the administrator by clicking the "Site Administrator" link on the "This Site" menu or by adding /administrator to the end of you domain name.

Log in to the administrator using the username and password created during the installation of Joomla.

Logging in

To login to the front end of your site use the login form or the login menu link on the "This Site" menu. Use the user name and password that were created as part of the installation process. Once logged-in you will be able to create and edit articles.

In managing your site, you will be able to create content that only logged-in users are able to see.

Creating an article

Once you are logged-in, a new menu will be visible. To create a new article, click on the "submit article" link on that menu.

The new article interface gives you a lot of options, but all you need to do is add a title and put something in the content area. To make it easy to find, set the state to published and put it in the Joomla category.

Learn more

There is much more to learn about how to use Joomla! to create the web site you envision. You can learn much more at the Joomla! documentation site and on the Joomla! forums.

As you make your Joomla! site you will control the details of the display using options also referred to as parameters. Options control everything from whether the author's name is displayed to who can view what to the number of items shown on a list.

Default options for each component are changed using the Options button on the component toolbar.

Options can also be set on an individual item, such as an article or contact and in menu links.

If you are happy with how your site looks, it is fine to leave all of the options set to the defaults that were created when your site was installed. As you become more experienced with Joomla you will use options more.
