Creating Content

Once you have logged-in, you're ready to start posting content.

At the top of your personal menu, you'll find a link called "create content". Click this and you'll see a list of the types of content you can create. This list reflects the privileges assigned to your user account or to the groups ("roles") to which your account belongs.

There may be several types of content that you can create. Many of these are organized into what are called "nodes". Basically, you can think of a node as the content of a page. This might be, for instance, an article. Content is added or updated through web page forms. So to add an article, you bring up a form, enter text into it (like the title and content of an article), and hit a button to submit the form. On this site you can select from:

  • Blog entry
  • Book page
  • Forum topic
  • Page
  • Poll
  • Story
