Installing and Configuring Drupal 6.1

By Michael J. Ross

More Resources

Drupal has an encouraging amount of technical resources freely available to answer your questions, and assist you in increasing your understanding of how to administer and modify a Drupal site. A great place to begin is the Drupal Support page, which has links to their online documentation, as well as forums, where you can post questions.

As of this writing, there are at least seven books on Drupal, although none of them were written for the 6.x series of Drupal. In the future, there will certainly be more books written and published, as a growing number of Web developers begin to explore the capabilities of this excellent content management system, and how it can save them time and effort in building Web sites.

Yeah, I've never understood why people like Joomla so much. I was told it was easy to set up. But as soon as I started wading through the template files I ran away as fast as possible.

It reminds me of the jumbled mess that is SMF - I'm slowly working my way through one of those at the moment weeding out all the errant pointless code.

Interesting tutorial.

I installed a test Drupal site a few weeks ago. I quite liked my experience with it.

I don't have a use for it right now, but hopefully get to have another go at it
with a real site some day. It was much easier to handle than Joomla. The HTML output is much more sanitised and it seems to have a superior templating system.

Unfortunately I think it will take a lot more than a few pages of a tutorial to figure it out well enough to get a full site up and running. There are a lot of options in there and configuring the templating system will take quite some time to figure out!

It reminds me a lot of WordPress, but with a MASSIVE number of extra bits tacked on.
