do we have to create category names again and connect in main menu using K2 categories?
what about the already created menu items from joomla? do they have to be unpublished?
wouldn't that be duplicate menu items and articles if the menu items, categories and articles are not unpublished in joomla?

Publish K2_users to a module position and be sure its set to show on the home page or all pages

Publish K2_tools to a module position..... .,....select "tag clould" at the top right

no you dont have to create new categories, if you dont need them
the menu choices from joomla and k2 will co-exist
just remember, there are two seperate things, items and articles...they exist seperately and do not mix
also, remember not to import twice as you will have duplicates in everything

I am confused now
items (K2) and article (joomla) are one and same thing right?
If i am publishing an item from k2 it will be published as an article on my website right?
I tried to link item to already existing joomla categories but the item wasn't linked, so I started creating categories again in K2 and de-activated categories in joomla. isn't this the way we are supposed to do? or i am doing something wrong here?
