Servus, folks.
Glad I got your attention -- and I need a lot of people to tell how great this Drupal stuff is.
Note: If you got here for flaming, sorry, I abused the subject line :)
Well, the story in short: I was left high and dry with my former CMS as the developer got sort of overwhelmed with the amount of bugs I found. Some day he told me he wouldn't want to fix any broken stuff unless I pay prime rate. This was sort of squeezing me into a bad position with some sites due and already negotiated, so he was actually cutting into my earnings.
I thought I might try to fix the stuff myself -- I have some background in programming, but PHP was new to me. His code looked pretty messy at first sight -- neat comments, but hundreds of files with rather wierd names, let alone the naming of functions.
I surfed the net in dispair for the tenth time and somehow I found Drupal. Gee, what an ugly website, I thought, and read some of the forum stuff. I got the idea that the crowd here was higher educated than in other forums and gave Drupal a shot.
Installing on my iBook was a breeze. Heck, I had to dive into the UNIX stuff deeply and it felt like getting under a beautiful woman's clothes. Terminal isn't exactly what I bought when I headed Mac, but still nice to see it's real Unix under the hood... However, I got Drupal singing in a very short time and started to fool around with it. This was some six or seven weeks ago.
