# Posts, Comments, Projects, Gists & News
The core content types. Read endpoints render HTML pages; write endpoints accept form fields
and redirect to the new or updated resource. List fields such as `attachment_uids` are
repeated form keys - upload files first via [Uploads](/docs/uploads.html) and pass the returned
uids here. Engage with this content through [Votes, Reactions, Bookmarks & Polls](/docs/social-actions.html).
Every endpoint follows the shared [Conventions & Errors](/docs/conventions.html) (auth, content
negotiation, pagination, status codes); see [Authentication](/docs/authentication.html) for the
four ways to sign requests.
