# Creating Content

After you connect a BEA-compatible content management system to the Virtual Content Repository you can continue to add and modify content directly in your BEA-compatible content management system. Changes appear automatically in the Virtual Content Repository.You have three primary options for creating content for your portal:

- WebLogic Administration Portal
  BEA's Virtual Content Repository, available in the WebLogic Administration Portal under "Content Management," lets you add and modify content nodes and assign types (metadata) to those nodes. Through these tools, you can manage content in all the repositories plugged into the Virtual Content Repository that support management functions.
- Bulkloader
  The BulkLoader is a command-line application that is capable of loading document metadata into the reference implementation database from a directory and file structure. The BulkLoader parses the document base and loads all the document metadata so that the Content Management component can search for documents.
- My Content Management Portlet
  My Content portlet provides you with tools to manage your content in the BEA Virtual Content Repository. You can create, update, and delete content directories and nodes as well as browse content hierarchies and search for content.
