How to create new content?
You can create new content through the Create content section under the Drupal administrator are.
- The Page option allows you to create a static page;
- The Story option is suitable for a blog or a discussion page.
Content Management
In order to manage the content of your Drupal web site, you need to navigate to the Content management section under your administrator area.
In the following lines I will give a brief description of the option under this section:
- Drupal comments - With the default installation, only users that have logged in can access/post comments. This can be changed from Administer > User management > Permissions. The comments settings are self-explanatory. By default, registered users can post comments (they don't need to wait for moderator approvals). If you want to let anonymous users post comments, go to Administer > Permission > comment module.
- Content - You can mange, view, edit and delete the site content. You can publish and unpublish it.
- Content types - Manage posts by content type, including default status, front page promotion. You can include new content types besides the Page and the Story.
- Post settings - You can control the post behavior, the length of the posts and the number of posts per page.
- RSS publishing - You can configure your RSS feed publishing.
- Taxonomy - You can mange the tagging, the categorization and classification of your content.
