Creating content is one of the primary tasks any user is likely to do. To begin to create content within a site, components such as libraries, lists, or pages need to be created first. To do this, click on the Site Actions button on the Ribbon and choose View All Site Content or New Page, or New Site.

When the next screen appears, click on Create to create content.

Further options are offered to create a List, Library, Page, and Site within the site. These will be discussed in later chapters.

In the preceding screenshot, the Announcements template is selected to be created. The announcements list template is where announcement items are created and stored.

Typically, a site has multiple lists and libraries where content is created and stored.
