Summary


In this chapter, we introduced the basic plan for your new site and we started creating real pages and articles. We looked in some detail at the key features of the fields available within the Basic page and Article content types, and in particular, how to adjust the settings on the comment field.

Equipped with these new skills, you should be ready to start creating new content types and customizing them exactly as you need to implement Clients, Services, Testimonials, and FAQs on your new site in Chapter 7, Advanced Content. First, let's look into some more of the key structural elements of Drupal: Menus, Taxonomy, Views, and Blocks in the next chapter.
