As I said on my first topic, my experience in using Drupal 6.1 is just about a week. So I am sorry if that question sounds silly.

As I was not sure what kind of content type I should, I tried several content types like Page, Story, Blog and Daily container. At first, I created Page content types then I changed to Story content type. I could not just change it, so I had to delete the Page type first and created the Story type. I found that a bit odd that I can not just change the type. So finaly, I tried to change the type directly on the node table in MySQL. It works but I am not sure if that is a good idea.

I know that a lot of things depend on the content type. But if we didn't care to loose some of the items that would be missing due to the change of content type, then it would be easier if we had such a function.

Thanks a lot Joseph! That is what I was looking for.

Well... I have always been searching with the keys words "content type" and found nothing useful. I guess I have to start used to the term "node" for "content". :)

That's why I sent you to drupalmodules.com - the Module Finder makes it SOOOOOOO much easier to find modules you just know must exist....
... and some DO use 'content'!
glad you got what you were looking for - good luck.
