Content Type

Content is the food of a website.  Various types are shown below that the site is currently providing.

  Blogs

  A single user's journal of a topic.  All blog entries are listed in descending order.  Each user has their own individual Blog.  Other users may comment on the blog.

  Forums

  This content is open type discussion of any kind of topic and is geared towards more frequent interaction.  Anyone may create a topic and as many topics desired for which to discuss in the appropriate Category or Container.  Other users respond to the various topics at will and is less structured as compared to a blog.  An example may be introducing oneself, soliciting for help to troubleshoot, or providing information that in general may be helpful/useful to others.

  Page

Gallery

The gallery is used to contain photos.  Each user is provided their own starting album.  Additional albums may be created.  Photos can be viewed, labeled, sorted, printed, downloaded, etc.  This is one of the primary features of the website and exercises some privacy controls.  Those controls are first set by the website and then by the user for their own albums/photos. 

Photos may also be integrated for use by any of the above mentioned content types.  Once a photo is uploaded to the gallery, it may be accessed to be presented in a blog or page without having to be uploaded again.  This also allows for only the chosen photo to be viewed while the remainder of the album be private or hidden.  (Feature has not been implemented)
