Hi Patrick.

I hadn't realised that by Page Type you meant, in effect, a different content 
model.

Page Types in django CMS are a way to take a snapshot of a page for resuse, to 
save you having to re-do a complex layout that you often reuse.

If you want to manage weblog content, or events, use a weblog or events 
application, so that instead of shoe-horning information into unsuitable 
containers, you can have models that are designed to hold it in the most useful 
way.

Other CMSes (like Wagtail and Mezzanine) extend their pages in the way you 
describe, but django CMS has always avoided that as a core principle.
