I'm a Joomla newbie so I'm learning on the fly. The way that the tutorials instruct me to alter the template is through the Template Manager. Well, in 3.6.5, there is no template manager, at least not as described in the documentation. Under "Extensions", there is not "Template Manager" option. Only "Templates" where you can view installed templates. (See "menu" image attached.) Once I click the "Template" option, you see a list of installed templates where you can then select a template and be brought to a "Customise" screen where you can alter the template at a file level. (See "journal" image attached.) I though that there was a GUI way that I could change the template options such as is outlined in the "Adding your Logo image" tutorial on your website. I'm a bit leery of altering the template at the file level and breaking something in the template code that I can not fix.

I'm a bit confused. Did this version of Joomla remove the template manager as it had been described in the tutorials?

Thanks,
Brian

I figured it out. In Joomla 3.6.5, you need to click Extensions->Templates-> Styles and then click the name of the template on the left side of the list of templates to see the template parameters (style options.) If you click the name of the template on the right hand side of the template list, you are taken to the Joomla template customise area where you can edit the files directly. This is how Joomla tells you to edit the templates but was not what I was looking for.
