Drupal Gardens
If your needs are not complex, an alternate way to use the Drupal CMS
Modules are limited – therefore customization is limited.

DRUPAL CORE –OUT OF THE BOX
![Page 20: What's the Buzz about Drupal?](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/5558ae89d8b42aa52a8b46a8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Just a Starting Point
With Dupal Core alone you can create a very simple basic website.
![Page 21: What's the Buzz about Drupal?](https://reader037.fdocuments.net/reader037/viewer/2022110119/5558ae89d8b42aa52a8b46a8/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Content Types in Drupal 7 Core Articles are generally used for information that is updated more
frequently and often cross-referenced and categorized (such as news items or resources). By default, Articles are sorted with the most recent post at the top, but this can be customized with contributed modules like Views.
Basic pages are typically used for static content that can (but are not required to) be linked into the main navigation bar.
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. Each entry in a user blog has content type Blog Entry.
Book pages are designed to be part of a collaborative book, enabled by the core Book module. An example of a collaborative book is the Drupal developer documentation. In Drupal 7 nodes of any content type can be part of a book.

Core Content Types, cont’d. Comments actually aren't nodes, so Comment is technically not a
"content type". Enabled by default, the Comment module allows site visitors to add comments (typically short notes and replies to other comments) to nodes on the site.
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).
A Poll is a question that offers the visitor a set of multiple choice responses. A poll, once created, automatically provides a simple running count of the number of votes received for each response.
