Creating a blog

Drupal "content types" include BLOG, STORY, and PAGE.

I didn't want the BLOG posts to take over the whole site. Mine are not that important. I'm pretty much using the blog as a notepad as I go along. More content (and editing!) to come. I decided that I would just list the postings on a page, accessible from the top menu. Other configurations are possible. I'm using the blog for useful info that comes up as I am building the site. BTW, the two most common content types are PAGE and ARTICLE. The choice between these is often discussed on BLOGS.
