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 3. Content Seasoning

In the previous chapter, we learned about the creation of Pages and Stories: Node Content. Certainly, adding articles and pages to your site is paramount, but site visitors don't live by text alone.

Just like a chicken recipe becomes an entirely new meal when treated with Thai or Indian spices (to name two), a web site also needs some spicing up. Of course, recognizing the need for some seasoning, and applying the ingredients, are two different things. So, let's learn to season our Node Content.

What you will learn

In this chapter, you will learn to:

  • Display 'teasers' (excerpts)— much like a newspaper's front page

  • Link to other Node Content—the Read More link that you see on many web sites

  • Use images

  • Add audio and video—to add richness to your page content

  • Link to downloadable content such as PDF files—to add value to your site
