A page is a whole Web page. It's best for static content.

A story is a generally short news item or feature. You can create a story and have it post to a specific page (or pages) using the taxonomy feature. For example if you have an event at a specific branch for Seniors you could have the event post on both the branch events page and the Seniors page.

A blog entry is similar to a story but is attached to a user. If you wish to have several different blogs you would create different user identities for yourself and log in under each to submit a blog entry.

The book content type is suited for creating structured, multi-page hypertexts such as site resource guides, manuals, and Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs). It permits a document to have chapters, sections, subsections, etc. (what you're reading is a 'book')

• Books have additional navigation elements at the bottom of each page for moving through the text, the previous, up, and next links. Users can select the printer friendly version link at the bottom of the page to generate a printer friendly version of the page and all of its subsections.

A newsletter is a publication that has 'issues' to be sent to subscribed e-mail addresses.

A poll is a simple multiple-choice questionnaire, which displays the cumulative results of the answers to the poll.

The forum module lets you create threaded discussion forums for a particular topic on.

An event adds a new event to the events calendar. This can include recurring events, and signups.
