Notice how the link provided has the tag "Fanmade". Does that mean we can create & upload our own content? If so, how would one go about doing so?
To back out a step and clarify, the d20 PFSRD site already is a 3rd-party site, so it includes most anything that's Pathfinder Compatible, it just organizes things into Paizo content and 3rd party/fan-created content. Since they've gone semi-commercial to support themselves, they can't use Paizo IP (see the Compatibility License and Community Use License for details*), so names may be changed on some content.
If you're looking to use it for a home game, it doesn't matter. If you do Pathfinder Society organized play, it does.
The d20 PFSRD site does have a Community Custom Creations section; as for how to play around with that, you'd have to contact them, not Paizo.
*Short version: Compatibility allows you to say that your OGL stuff works with the Pathfinder rules and use a logo to that effect; Community Use means you're non-commercial and if so allows you to play around with the Golarion/Pathfinder setting intellectual property for fan stuff.
No problem. You might be aware of it, but the PRD is the rules archive that Paizo puts out containing the hardcover core rulebooks, plus the recent technology guide. Another good resource is the Archives of Nethys a fansite under Community Use that compiles all the first-party Paizo book "crunch", including the softcovers. Neither would be accepting fan content or even 3PP content, though.
"The d20 PFSRD site does have a Community Custom Creations section; as for how to play around with that, you'd have to contact them, not Paizo."Ah, okay thanks. I had actually thought these two websites were inter-related. Anytime I search Google for content and questions it always links me both sites. Anyway that's a huge help, thank you.
You might want to start with contacting Jreyst, he's the public face and operator for D20PFSRD.com, he'd be the one you'd want to talk to about adding things.
Note though that fanmade is probably a conversion of rules published in a 3E paizo product, or material from a free webzine like Wayfinder. You will prbably not be able to just post your homebrew to the d20pfsrd.
Though if you sign up you can get your own "lab" where you can post stuff.
Also I'm still not sure if you understood: d20pfsrd is not an official paizo site. They have their own PRD: http://paizo.com/pathfinderRPG/prd

Yes, the "Fan Content" label is what we used to stick on content that d20pfsrd.com editors converted from previous rules editions. Since we considered (and still do) ourselves "Fans" and not really "Publishers" we thought it most appropriate to label it as "Fan Content".
However, in the passing years I've since stopped adding that label to new pages we convert and instead just labeling it "3rd Party" content since obviously we're not Paizo, but we are publishing now.
