How can I use the drupal to make a website which use to share video? I am not thinking of big video and numerous videos in term of capacity and size. My friend gives me a sample he has found in http://gogootv.com. I really want to use drupal to design and build website like above reference. As I know Drupal is much more powerful tool in the aspect. please reply me with kindness.

i mean any web hosting service....and can i edit drupal website in dreamweaver...like adding new features using php.....changing html etc.? ....and do i have to tell drupal that i
have made my website using their software?....
thank you

I've tried hard to research the following question over weeks of internet searching, reading, thinking, but am having trouble so now I'm turning to you, the Drupal community. Please forgive the fact that it's a very open question:

My (potential) client has asked for the following as part of a new website:

Intranet
The online collaborative space or intranet is a significant part of the new website. This space should offer much of the functionality of readily available platforms (such as Google Drive / Google Docs, or MS SharePoint, or Basecamp, etc.) in that it should allow:
• Announcements
• File sharing
• E-mail notification to all members of any updates (announcements or files)
• Online editing and commenting of documents, i.e. word documents and spread-sheets

My question is - are there any Drupal solutions to this? Is it possible to have an intranet with the wiki feature that covers documents and spreadsheets.
I suggested Open Atrium (which I think looks great) but it doesn't offer a Wiki for spreadsheets, and I'm not so sure how good it is as an online filing system.
I could just suggest that they use Google Drive, but is there a way of integrating it with Open Atrium or Drupal to take advantage of the wiki and filing features?

I am going to develop a open source web site ,like ebay
which have following features ...!

1) Sale and purchase the product
2) User management system
3) Bidding system
4) Product management system
5) Search management system

More detail i ll send soon ...

Not sure if this is the right place for a question. I've been trying out Drupal 7 for about 2 weeks. I bought the book Definitive Guide to Drupal 7. After going through the first chapters I was able to create views for articles by bob almost exactly like I wanted. Then on the listing page of articles by bob (view) I placed an image on one. The teaser shows the image as a thumbnail as configured.

Drupal is Freaking Hard to Use and Has a High Learning Curve

In the good old days, building a website meant coding a page in HTML and uploading it to a server. If you wanted to update the page, you edited the HTML, and re-uploaded the file. Then people who didn’t know HTML started clamoring for a way to edit their own sites. Along came Content Management Systems, presumably to let an admin log in, edit, save, and call it a day.

Enter Drupal. This CMS, my friends, is so bloated that it takes days, if not weeks, for the layperson to learn their way around it. In fact, my Drupal clients are so confused by the interface that they still send me content and ask me to input it for them.

Why is Drupal so hard to use? It’s a combination of bad usability and confusing navigation. An example of Drupal’s bad usability is requiring a user to confirm changes twice before they’re saved—often with the Save button located below the jump, i.e. out of view. As for confusing navigation: creating a blog post is under "Create Content" but editing a blog post is under “Manage Content” and sidebar content is under "Site Building / Blocks". What?
