A lot of people get confused on what a node is in Drupal. I know I was when I first started using Drupal. This video hopes to clarify what a node is for those who are confused.

Basically it comes down to this: A node is a single piece of content that is published on a Drupal site.

If it is content... such as stories, videos, images, pages, etc... it is a node. If you create your own content types, those would be nodes as well.

I hope this clarifies the term for people who are new to Drupal. If you have any comments, please leave them below. Drupal rocks!

Using a different term such

Using a different term such as "node" for a piece of content is just a way of geeks trying to further obfuscate everything so that it is more difficult for people to learn how to use the technology and take their jobs away.

This is coming from a geek.
