Creating the About Me Page in Drupal
- To add a new content to your Drupal site, click the
Create content -> Story. - Set the
Titleto About Me. - The
Menu settingsfield is optional, and is only used if you want to add the item to the menu system of Drupal. We will add the About Me page to the<Primary links>. To do this, clickMenu settingsto display some additional fields. - Make sure that
Comment settingsis set toRead/Writeand thePublishedandPromote to front pageare checked in thePublishing optionsbefore clicking theSavebutton. - After you have saved your About Me page, click the
My Drupal Site logoand you will then see the About Me page at the front page of your site. Notice also your About Me Primary link at the top-most right portion of your page.
Notice that when you clicked the Create content menu, there were two content types available: Page and Story.
Page and Story are almost the same in form but by default, a page entry does not allow visitor comments and is not featured at your site’s initial home page. We want to promote our About Me page to the front page so let’s just choose the Story content type.
Set the Menu link title to About Me, Parent item to <Primary links> and Weight equal to 0. Type something about yourself in the Body.
If you want to add extra HTML formatting to your story, you can expand Input Format and set it to Full HTML.
