Create your own content types

Sometimes the original content types cannot fulfill your all requirements, you may want a new content type to reach your expectations. For example, you may want to create a FAQ page, which should contains several FAQ entries. Thus you can create a new custom content type "FAQ", which has "Question" and "Answer" fields instead of "Title" and "Body".
