Structure Guide: Node and Content types

All content on a Drupal website is stored and treated as "nodes". A node is any posting, such as a page, poll, article, forum topic, or blog entry. Comments are not stored as nodes but are always tied to one.


Default settings can be configured for each type of content on your site at: Administration > Structure > Content types > [Specific content type]or http://example.com/admin/structure/types


The Content administration page allows you to review and bulk manage your site content. To access this page in Drupal 7, navigate toAdministration > Contentorhttp://example.com/admin/content

Structure Guide: Navigation menus

Menus are a collection of links (menu items) used to navigate a website. The Menu module provides an interface to control and customize the powerful menu system that comes with Drupal.

Blocks are the boxes of content (such as "User Login" or "Who's online") that can be displayed in regions (such as footer or sidebar) on your page.Blocks are made available to your site most commonly by enabling modules.
