Issue Summary

This is to clarify the intro on admin/structure/types/add

Removed: "Each piece of content is of a specific content type."

(Why? They have just clicked 'Add content type' so that information isn't as useful here. Plus it's a slightly tricky sentence to understand)

Rephrased the next sentence: "Individual content types can have different fields, behaviors, and permissions assigned to it." to clarify that each content type is expected to be unique.

Added: "Save the new content type, then edit it to add fields."

(They cannot add new fields until the content type is saved)

We can probally drop the last part for now, and instead fix the labels on the buttons?

#4

Here's the patch again, with the second sentence removed.

re: fixing the labels on buttons... I guess we should link that issue from here? I will do so if/when I find it.

Don't think there is an issue, make one I'd say :) Off to RTBC, really liking the composition of this sentence.
