the Harvard Nieman Journalism Lab published a link to an article by Matt Thompson
Published June 13, 2011 outlining "4 ways content management systems are evolving & why it matters to journalists "

Al Jazeera envisioned “The Stream” as a show and online news source built on top of the robust conversation taking place on social media outlets worldwide. So when the site chose the content management system that would handle the program’s online presence, they started with software created to curate that conversation — Storify. The Web app lets mainstream users easily pull together stories from posts on social media sites.

Online producers for “The Stream” build stories in Storify that get pulled into an installation of Drupal, where they’re edited, approved and published to the Web. The Storify-plus-Drupal combo brings “The Stream” team several advantages:

Storify gives producers a slick, easy-to-use interface to pull in nuggets from the social media conversation.
Drupal handles the task of publishing the site, enabling “The Stream” to keep publishing even if Storify is unavailable.
It also adds capabilities that Storify doesn’t yet have, such as handling Google Maps.

I am the designer and the developer as well.I make my own templates by html , php , and some designing software. I am good in designing.I have to get some inspirations from different sites. Although there so many other sites from where i used to get inspirations like template monster .But i was searching on Google so i came to know with the drupal.I do not know how to use it for making templates.But i have seen some templates and sites which are made by drupal. I am impressed.So my question is that let me know about the some tutorial about learning drupal.

I'm an information architect/UX designer taking my first run at a Drupal site...I'm curious whether any other IA/UX or developers can share tips for a team about to engage in a maiden Drupal voyage.

In particular, I'm interested in hearing about what tends to work/not work with regards to wireframes when working with Drupal modules.

For reference, our team will be working on a Drupal 7.x install and is armed with a pre-set list of Drupal modules to pull from in our design & build cycles.

Hello!.

We're currently investigating the best method to deploy three separately domained websites with a common ECommerce store between them.

For various reasons they need to be managed from the same admin screen but with separate permissions.

Does anyone have a good case study or example for us here?

We're in a unfamiliar territory here and wanted to ask if anyone had any examples for us. I've done a bit of homework and haven't yet found a good e.g. of this.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards

I have to complete a website in Dreamweaver for a university assignment in a couple of weeks and I want to ask local businesses if they want me to do them a Website if they provide me with the content. One of the requirements is that the website must link to a MySQL database. I want the client to be able to manage products on the database directly form their desktop (i.e. uploads, edits, deletions). I'm wondering what the best solution is for this. I want to use the easiest tool possible for the client. Drupal seems a bit too complex. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks

I am creating a site using Drupal Commons and on the Profile page there are "My Groups" and "My Friends" in the "sidebar last". I can't remove them for the life of me. I don't want them there. If I go to the User Profile template, everything is setup correctly. 3 columns. But when I go to the page, there is a 4th column with the groups and friends populated there. in other words, if i click on Edit Panel, its a 3 column setup, I don't have My Groups or My Friends in any of the columns, but when I go to the page, they're in a 4th column.
