<div><br>1) I tried adding a text field and text area to one of our Content types - an "Article". But I am not seeing any new content / text after I add some to one of the articles. What do I have to do to see those text changes in my page? Is there some kind of caching issue here? </div>

<div>4) How do you manage the homepage that Drupal uses? I had a user delete the homepage and now I need to recreate it. But this doesn't seem to be a straightforward process. </div></div></div></blockquote></div><div>
<div class="im"><span style="color: rgb(162, 162, 162);">/node should be a normal 'river of content' view. I would worry more about users being able to change the homepage atm than recreating it. </span><br></div>
I don't quite follow this. How can a user (anonymous or authenticated) control what homepage appears? Or why would I want that to happen? In this case, I just want one homepage to appear all the time, and I can't see where to set that. This is obviously my lack of understanding of how Drupal handles this. <br>
