Content Items

A "Content Item" is simply a file or selection of files that are grouped together and given a name and a description. You can think of content items as an all purpose digital library. Content items can be "tagged" according to a variety of user-defined as well as universal categories (Metta Categories). Tagging dictates where Content Items should display; tagging also helps users when searching for specific Content Items or types of Content Items.

Content Items are grouped together in order to be displayed as some type of presentation e.g. a news article, a blog post, a slide show, part-of or a whole web page, a film or animation, a bulk-email, a printed brochure, etc.

Some Examples of Content Items :

1. A blog or news article may consist of text (HTML), several jpegs (Photos), a flash movie & a PDF.
2. An "About" page may consist of a body of text, 6 PDFs & a flash animation.
3. A basic website "Homepage" may contain some text (HTML) and a large jpeg.
4. A bulk-email may consist of three Content Items chosen for distribution to multiple recipients.
5. A photo on a photographers website may consist of a smaller photo (thumbnail) and a larger photo (pop-up) as well as a very large image (Hi-Res) for printing; as well as captions for each.
