Creating basic content - Drupal Tutorial

Creating basic content
Our site still looks the same as when we first installed Drupal, and I know you are chomping at the bit to actually start building it out, right?

Incidentally this video in the course uses the exercise files. We are just going to copy and paste some text and use a graphic, but you're welcome to use your own if you like. To create that page, we first go up to Add content, and we're going to create a basic page. I'll explain the difference between these two in just a minute. Now I'm going to go back to my exercise files, which I have on the Desktop, and open up my text. I copy this section here as the title and paste it into my site, and I'll do the same with the body. Then I scroll down to the bottom and click Save. And there is our front page. Let's go back to the front. Wait a second. It's not there…
