Drupal 7.x

Hello,

First some background: I discovered Drupal in 2006, made several failed attempts at migrating to it (partly because of Drupal, partly because of other unrelated reasons) and I'm now trying to convert from Dotclear to Wordpress to Drupal one more time (Dotclear to Worpress is because there is not Dotclear to Drupal migrating tool). I am not a coder, I am more of a usability so-called expert.

Below you will find my vision of how to improve Drupal.

Second: the first impression matters a lot. What is the first impression? Installation.

Now, with the objective of making it better, I'll survey my own installation of Drupal. From scratch. And I'll be blunt (well, somewhat).

hi

i want to upload drupal to the root directory of my hosting site,
but it uses a file manger to upload the files and drupal wont work
unless i upload it in the public html folder is there anyway to upload
drupal to the root? thanks matt

I don't know if any of you are familiar with this awesome SVG graphics visualization toolkit called Protovis, but you can se eit here: http://vis.stanford.edu/protovis/ and it sure would be awesome if there were a Drupal module that works with it. SVG is really needing to have some support, and it always seems so painful to integrate it. Anyone interested? I'm not a good enough php coder to do this one, but I love to watch ;-)

Thank you,

Hello, Here is my website http://citipc.co.uk/

You can see there are two columns, one is the navigation bar and the other is the content. The blank space next to the content is the place for right sidebar where a login box was. I have removed the login box. Now I want to remove the right sidebar completely and let the content stretch to the rest of the page. Can anyone please advise me how to do that.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Hello, I am trying to build a company website using drupal and didnt want the login box on the home page. So I went into the blocks section and deactivated it from there. Now how do I login to the admin panel ?

Thanks in advance.

I have just downloaded, unzipped and copied all the drupal folders to my site. however when i go to my site i get a blank screen, if i try /install.php i still get a blank screen. I have created my database in MySQL and have tested it and it works. Please help with any info you have available for this problem. Thanks.
