In this section we will set up a custom content type for the Artisan Bakers Collective website. Our custom content type will be used to display our bakery's goods including its breads and pastries. The content type will contain the following:
The name of the bread or pastry
A description of the bread or pastry
The price of the item
A picture of the item
You could, of course simply add this content using the default core content type that Drupal 7 ships with; either a Basic page or Article. However, creating a custom content type in Drupal to hold specific fields related to your specific content is the best practice and also will help to keep your site organized, extensible, flexible, and searchable. This will also give you practice in creating content types using Drupal 7 and adding custom fields to those types.
