All you have to do is take your URL and add the following to it: tp=1

That's it. Let's look at an example. The URL of the main Joomla! website is: "http://www.joomla.org". Let's say that I want to know where the user1 position is. Well, all I have to do is go to the following url: http://www.joomla.org/?tp=1

All of a sudden, the Joomla homepage goes from this:

... to ...

It looks like Joomla.org does is not using the user1 module position in their template at all.

If you are an administrator, there is another way to do this. It takes a few more steps, so I never do it. However, to be thorough, I feel it is important to mention it.

From the Administrator:

1. Click "Extensions" -> "Template Manager"
2. Click on the template that is set as the "default"
3. Click the "Preview" icon in the toolbar.

The more and more Joomla! sites you build, the more time this trick will save you.
