A page is probably the simplest content, other than maybe a blog.

Click on "Create content" in the menu, then select what kind.

The title and body are pretty self-explanatory. Below these are a number of collapsible fields. "Input format" controls what you can put into the page; I'm assuming you are the "super-user" (user/1), so give yourself the priviledge of "Full HTMLHyperText Markup Language - the coding standard for a web page.."

If you have Nodewords installed, the next section is "Meta Tags." It's pretty well documented.

I have no idea why you'd use the "Log message" but I'm sure someone has a reason.

Hopefully, you already set your default "Comment settings" but the front page rarely deserves comments, so you can disable them.

If you turned on the "Path" core moduleAn add-on, or extension, to Drupal to provide additional functionality; written in PHP., you'll have URL path settings next. You can enter a "normal" name here rather than being required to use "node/2" when you refer to it later on. Hint: if you are converting a siteA logically grouped set of content - also web site. that was static pages, you might want to go ahead and add ".htm" or ".htmlHyperText Markup Language - the coding standard for a web page." to the name so that the search engines will continue to find the page.

"Menu settings" is the next section. "Title" is what will show in the menu normally. "Description" will show when the user hovers the cursor over the menu item. "Parent item" allows you to create multi-level menus that collapse and expand. "Weight" allows you to set a relative position within the menu; unfortunately, some Drupal

Drupal

An open-source content management system that is used on this site and is taking over the world. core items are hard-coded at 0.

Chances are you won't need "Authoring information" unless you want to attribute the page to someone else. The other use for this section is to control the page or story order when they are based on the time and date it was created.

Finally, "Publishing options," which you set defaults for earlier, right? You want the page "Published" so it will show up. If this is your "Welcome" page, you'll want it "Promoted to front page."

"Submit" it.

Congratulations, you now have some content on your siteA logically grouped set of content - also web site.!
