Does anyone know a better way to show a template's positions.
It seems to me that appending "...?tp=1" to url is rather klunky and sometimes hard to read?
Thanks!!

Best to ask the template provider as most bootstrap templates allow modification. The tp method is useful for checking what position existing modules are in– Robert WentApr 22, 2014 at 19:39

I tend to use commercial templates, and they provide a nice graphical map I can use as a guide.
Other than that, you might want to mess with PowerAdmin by Joomlashine (It's not a template, it's an enhancement to the admin). It's got a nifty layout that lets you see the different positions and what modules are loaded in them.
I use to create custom HTML saying the name of the position I'm putting it in, it's a great and easy way to locate all positions ;)
Then I create an ipsum article, make a menu item "special" category access for it, and assign all these test modules to appear just in that menu item
That way I have all positions, including component one, and being custom HTML I can use to make a first draft.
I just noticed that the backend, under Template Manager: Styles, has a little icon (next to the checkbox) that when clicked will preview the home page with module positions shown.
