Overview of this book

Often a company hires a web designer to build its Drupal site, and then takes over running the site in house. This book is for the Content Editors concerned with the ongoing creation and maintenance of the site content. In a few hours, you'll have the knowledge needed to maintain and edit your web site as a content-rich place that visitors return to again and again. There are many books available to help you administer a Drupal site, but this is the only one specifically for Content Editors. This book doesn't cover designing or creating a site. However, anybody who has built their own site but needs some help using the article management features will also benefit from it. This book is a quick-start guide, aimed at Content Editors. The author's experience enables him to explain in an efficient and interactive manner how you can keep your site up to date. The book begins with a discussion of content management and Drupal and then teaches you how to create content, add elements to it, and make the content findable. You will then learn to set up the framework for a creative team and the various options for editing content offline, their benefits and pitfalls. This book helps you to quickly and easily solve problems, and manage content and users for a web site. It will help you become a more effective and efficient manager of Drupal-based web sites.

Preface

Chapter 2. Content Creation

By its very nature, Drupal is a Content Management System (CMS). Unlike web sites that are built around image libraries or shopping carts, a CMS is driven by content, usually in the form of text, images, videos, and the like. Creating, editing, and "filing" content is as fundamental an operation in Drupal as is doing the same with your financial transactions in Quickbooks.

Simply having a large amount of text in a giant repository would make the task of finding and using what you need excruciating. A good CMS makes it easy for you to add, organize, and use content. Think of a magazine. Some pages are entirely composed of one story. Some have two or more articles of related content, and some, two or more articles of unrelated content. In order to compose a page comprised of small articles about leafy green vegetables, you have to be able to create and find them. Drupal provides the creation and arrangement of pieces, and this is what you will learn next.
