Content lists are, as the name states, list of content. When you create a new Article, or a New Event, or a New Course, they all get added to a list of content. Some examples of these content lists are under an the following URLS http://xxxx.franklin.uga.edu/news/all for Articles or http://xxxx.franklin.uga.edu/events for Events where xxxx is replaced with the acronym for your department (e.g. MATH, CSCI, etc.)
