I would think this should be obvious, but I want to edit a post. I go to 'content' to view all my content, then to edit, then there is no option to change it's content type to another.

Once you create a node (post) you can't really change the type... You can change all posts of that type to a different "name" (like you could change all story posts to be called article posts or entries or submissions or poems -- whatever name you like pretty much) but there's really no way to change an individual story into a page or anything.

Good call
Didn't know that existed. Haven't looked at the code yet but I assume it probably does some sort of SQL query that changes the names...? Not sure why I didn't think of that in the first place... (duh).
