Post Types
In the most basic explanation, post types are a way to categorize content on your site. Using post types correctly can help with the following:
Layout Options
within standard templates
When you鈥檙e using a standard template such as 鈥�1 column w/ pods right,鈥� you鈥檒l have the option to set various layout options.
Subterm #1
Here is the Overview of the first subterm. When you click on the title or the 鈥渞ead more,鈥� you will be directed to the subterm itself, just as you would if you clicked on Subterm #1 in the left hand navigation menu.

The subterm overview template is the second most common standard template and is used on most terms that have additional terms nestled underneath them (aka 鈥渟ubterms鈥�). This template does not have a zone to display 鈥淧osts,鈥� but rather takes the Overviews of the terms below it. If you tag a post here, it will not display.
Three Columns with Pods Below
The two and three column templates are great for displaying lots of posts that all have similar content. When using these templates, make sure that the titles, subtitles, and teasers of each post are similar lengths. Consistent use of images or videos is also important for these templates.
Pods are moved below on the two and three column template displays. Use the Preview button in the bottom right hand corner of your screen to see how the term page will look to logged out visitors.
Two Columns with Pods Below

Term display
This is the default template on your site. That means that when you create a new navigation term, it will automatically use this template. This template will work for 90% of the content of your site.
Standard Term Templates
These are the standard term templates that exist by default on every Digital Deployment website. Site/System Admins have the ability to change which template is displaying on a particular term.
