Here is some more info about the various types of content on this site. The ones marked with &nbsp&nbsp X&nbsp&nbsp cannot be posted to by users, only by yours truly.

• personal blog entry

At least for now each user has the ability to post blogs here. "Blog" is short for weB LOG. A blog is a regularly updated journal made up of individual entries, often called posts, that are time stamped and typically arranged by the day, with the newest on top (a diary is the reverse). They tend to be quite personal, often containing links to things you've seen, or to editorials that you find interesting. Some blogs also contain original material written solely for the blog. Since a Blog is personal, you and only you have full control over what you publish. (But we get to comment!) The most interesting blog entries or those blog entries that fit the site's topic well might get promoted to the front page by the community or by users with the access do this.

• book page

&nbsp&nbspX&nbsp&nbsp As used on this CMS the "book" type of content is used for documenting how-to's or instructions on various matters of practicing in the 33rd.

• downloads

• image

• news feeds

Much of the content on the internet now can be "syndicated" much like AP and other commercial news services. That content includes news type sites, portions of conventional web sites and blogs. You cannot add a feed but if you will just email the webmaster it will be added. Read more about newsfeeds here.

• poll

&nbsp&nbspX &nbsp&nbsp A poll is a multiple-choice question which visitors can vote on.

• story

A story is a post that is submitted to the attention of other users and is queued in the submission queue. Users and moderators vote on the posts they like or dislike, promoting or demoting them. When a post gets above a certain threshold it automatically gets promoted to the front page.

• weblink
