How difficult will it be to make a site like this one using Drupal?

also... where can I get a template like the one running this main Drupal site.

Thanks

I have a little bit of experience with a Drupal website at work. A tech guy set it up for us and I do some basic stuff like uploading images, etc.

I have a personal website that is managed by someone else that is not a Drupal site. If I wanted to change over to Drupal one day and do it from a Macintosh OS.9 system, is that possible?

Also, my current site has a mail function running through it that allows people to fill out a form (name, address, etc.) and make comments. Can I do this with Drupal?

This is what it says below the form: "Optionally specify an alternative URL by which this node can be accessed. For example, type "about" when writing an about page. Use a relative path and don't add a trailing slash or the URL alias won't work."

Is this only to have an alias or is this also something to help google to categorize the page better. I know google loves keywords in html file names. Can somebody clarify the use of this feature?

It's been about two weeks and my site (brainshrub.com) is up and running. I knew nothing about php, MySQL, or CSS when I started and I was still able to get Drupal up and running like I want it to.

To fellow noobs I offer some advice: Be patient with yourself and do your research before you ask questions. Having said that, don't be shy about asking questions... ignorance and poor spelling is not punished here. Drupal may not have as much "bling" as other CMS-systems, but it's as solid as a rock. Any effort you put into Drupal will be richly rewarded.

Hi,

I'm still looking at whether Drupal will do everything I want. It appears to be more flexible than the other CMS's out there. But I can't tell if this is possible and I'm not a programmer either so let me just describe what I want to do.

I'm looking for a way to post a news or event item from a single page. The main article summaries need to display on the same page. I would like to have a headline section on my start page along with a full page for the

I am trying to configure the Electric Friends theme. I uploaded the php template engine and the Electric Friends theme and then went to configure the theme as the site administer. But, I recieved the following message....
