Before you start

Hi,

I'm quite new to Drupal.

I've been asked to build an intranet environment for an international community. My (their) needs are :

Hey guys,

I'm currently working on my dissertation for Uni and am focusing on web content management systems.
I've been looking at loads of different options and would like to include feedback in my project from Drupal users on why you guys choose this system over others for your website(s).

If possible can you post links to your website(s) that use Drupal and a quick comment on why you like/dislike the system, how it helps your site etc

Many many thanks!

Hello everyone,

I'm currently in the process of redesigning the website of a Child Rights organization called ANPPCAN. Their current website http://www.anppcan.org is in need of a serious overhaul. My overall objective is to create a professional site that is very easy to update once I leave. I've been looking predominately into WordPress as a CMS solution but thought I should explore Drupal a little further before I decide to move forward.

It's a fairly basic site.. the site plan can be viewed here http://www.anppcan.org/anppcan_siteplan.pdf

WordPress appeals to me on many levels, mostly because of it's simplicity. I've done some initial research into Drupal and honestly, it scares me. I am a designer with limited programming skills.. and I really don't want to get in over my head.

Is Drupal as scary as it looks? Is there somewhere to educate myself further..? I'd love to find a simple tutorial on how to apply a theme, add some modules, and customize the design using HTML and CSS. Not sure if it'd be that simple...

Also, our internet connection here is quite challenging. I still haven't been able to get an idea of the Themes page because the hundreds of pictures take so long to load. I really love the K2 theme from WordPress... so any solidly designed themes you can recommend would be very helpful. Oh how I miss highspeed internet.... :)

Hi everybody!
I am a drupal newbie, and I hope this could be the right forum's place to post this message.
I need to build a website for a school, that has to contain stuff like courses descriptions and teachers' profiles (with name, pictures, and other details). So typical data to store in a database.

I am looking for the "ideal cms out of the box" ;-) and I am struggling to decide between drupal and joomla...

Hello, all.

I am considering Drupal for a potential project. Along with other features like a forum and newsletter, my client is interested in having an on-line journal. This journal would have some content already in place (suggestions for the user to write about, etc.), and would need to have a new page unlocked for use each day.

My question is: Is there a feature or module in Drupal that will facillitate this type of "page a day" journaling?

Thank you!
