Hi Guys,

Im currently investigating a solution for creating a blogging site, also including a photo album solution. Ive been looking a drupal pretty closely as the open source nature is very nice. However id like some opinions on my requirements.

The site would allow people to sign up and create their own blog, in a pretty standard sense.

The site would also allow the users to also create a photo gallery, which by default is private and cannot be browsed by other users.

I'm moving from a nomal static website to a CMS. However, my site is already heavily linked by other sites and I do not want to change the urls of the invidual pages.

Is it possible to name the path of each page in Drupal manually?

Hi, i have to install a CMS and i don't know which..
s.o. told me drupal can fix my problems
i gave a look and found it very good, but i don't know if it's the right product for me.

i must manage a website, http://www.medialawservices.de/ made with a proprietary CMS and the company wants to switch to an OS CMS

i need to manage the newsletter and an archive, with search-module (for title and contents) and to deal with a ssl page..

I am wanting to install drupal in my root directory without the sub-directory /drupal..

Is there any way to do this...

Specifics requested...Not familiar with Drupal at all!!!

Thanks

These forums are plagued of "can drupal do this" kind of posts, but this is not the average one. What I am planning with drupal is far more serious than the average, and any hints will be of great help.

I have installed the most recent Drupal locally on osX.

Everything went really smoothly, but the images/css/theme isn't showing?
Any ideas?

Its just pure html showing, which is fine functionally, but sucky in every other way! :)

Thanks.

Matthew
