The Story content type is supposed to be included in Drupals core but when I installed Drupal via the Uberdrupal profile there is no Story content type. I looked at the node_type table and it doesn't exist. Should it be there? How can we install it otherwise since there is no module for it?

The reason it wasn't created is because it wasn't defined in uberdrupal.profile for installation. I am pretty new so I thought it would require a View or some other data. Can I just create a new node type and call it Story and it will have all options set by default? I have read that ...

- A page doesn't post author information, timestamps or comments by default.
- A story does post author information, timestamps or comments by default.

Do I need to make any changes to the new Story node type settings after creation? Story is recommended for a single user blog so it would be nice if this node type was included in install profile so newbies aren't confused. Thanks!

Yeah, the Story content type was intentionally left out. All it is is a new node type with commenting enabled that's published to the front page by default. Because the installation profile presumes the product catalog will be on the front page (and because Story is pretty ambiguous), Story was intentionally left out. To add it (or any other node type back), you just have to go to the Structure / Content types menu item and add a new content type.
