What are the content types associated with core Drupal modules?



Blog Entry
A Blog (short for weblog) is an online journal or diary, and the core Blog module allows registered users on your site to create their own blogs.
Book Page
Book pages are designed to be part of a collaborative book, enabled by the core Book module.
Comment
Comments actually aren't nodes, so Comment is technically not a "content type". Enabling the Comment module allows site visitors to add comments (typically short notes and replies to other comments) to nodes on the site.
Forum
A Forum node defines a topic for a forum discussion; people can reply to the topic by using comments. Forum nodes are organized into subject areas via a Taxonomy (list of categories).
Page
The Page content type is enabled in Drupal in the default installation profile. Typically Pages are used for static content that can (but are not required to) be linked into the main navigation bar.
Poll
A poll is where a multiple choice question is asked, and users can answer and see other people's answers to questions.
Story
The Story content type is enabled in Drupal in the default installation profile. Stories are generally used for information whose relevance decreases as time passes (such as news items), so that newer Stories will typically be placed higher on the page than older Stories.
