So, you have decided to use a page or story. Good, you are likely working on the skeleton of your website, the navigation.

Lets go over some options of pages and stories.

First of all, you add a page (node/add/page) or story (node/add/story) at Create Content. You will be presented with a new windows filled with dazzling options. Some options are only available when enabling certain modules.

1. Title The title, like "About" or "Support" for pages, and "New product" or "Why Drupal rocks" for stories.
2. Body The content of your page or story. This would contain all information that is visible.
3. Input Formats Define how the content is processed. The types are configurable at Content Types. (admin/content/types)
• Filtered HTML Some HTML, not everything is allowed. Good for most users.
• PHP code For advanced users that would like to code within Drupal. This could break your website, be careful with this one.
• Full HTML Allow the content to not be interpreted by Drupal, just parse everything to the browser. Good for a little more experienced users.
4. Log message When more users work on content, this can be used to track what was changed when. Not used very often.
5. Menu settings Used for pages mostly. When setting up a navigation structure for your website, use this Menu module to help you.
• Title How would you like to see the title in the navigation structure? Likely to be the same as the title of this page, like "About" or "Support".
• Description When the visitor puts it mouse on this item, and does not click, this text appears after a few moments. Also good for search engines. Thing of texts like "More information about this website" or "Find answers on your questions in our support pages".
• Parent item Hierarchically, what is the "father/mother" item of this page? Use Primary links for the lowest level. For example About has Primary links as its Parent, Robert de Bock as About as its parent. This is what actually makes the skeleton or structure to your website.
• Weight When adding more pages, you can order them with weights. A lower weight will display an item before higher weighted items.
6. URL path settings Instead of directing visitors to http://example.com/node/122, have them directed to http://example.com/about . Good for visitors and good for search engines. Try to add a URL path to each node. It seems logical to translate the title into a URL path, by replacing spaces by dashes, all capitals by lower cases and removing punctuation. So "Linux will rule the world!" would become "linux-will-rule-the-world"
7. Comment settings Would you like comments? Likely on pages you don't allow comments, but stories would be more appropriate for comments.
8. Authoring information Who wrote the content and when. The default is mostly fine.
9. Publishing options Here are some options that help you manage the displaying of content.
• Published Is the content public or not? When drafting content, you can unset this, but eventually your goal is to publish things.
• Promoted to front page Do you want to see this content on the front page? For pages this is very unlikely, for stories this could be logical.
• Sticky at top of list Do you want this content on op of the list? Maybe you have a message, or an add that you would like to promote. This option seems more natural for stories than pages.
• Create new revision When you experimenting a bit, you might want to save an older version, so you can roll back easily.
