Post installation

I put in subtitle text, keywords, etc. and hit submit. But when I go back to the page edit the data is not there. Is there a way to make the data I type in save?

Thanks,

I have created a blog and would like to register it as an rss feed. I see the xml icon in the blog area yet do not know how to take the blog location and publish it in the rss directories

any advice would be appreciated.

Today I installed Drupal on my home computer.

Now what to do next?

The problem I have is that without an overview of the whole Drupal system and what Drupal is capable of, I am not able to plan and proceed to build the site I have in mind. I need a little bit knowledge of all the major aspects of Drupal at the beginning.

Many people are stuck in this situation, I would guess. I have been doing web stuff for quite some time (anybody still remember Selena Sol's shopping cart scripts in 1997? ); but almost zero knowledge about popular CMSs; and reading manual (at least at the beginning) is no fun any more, instead I try to get away with examples and tutorials. After all, ease of use is a major point to employ CMSs, isn't it?

Now back to what to do next. What I am wishing for is a step by step instruction to build a sample web site, using Drupal. This will be a tremendous help to someone new to Drupal and CMS. The sample site could be anything, be it a company's web site, or a portal for a city, a dating site, anything. It doesn't have to touch to many features, the graphics can be bare bone. Instead, it uses some of the key features, and walks me from the beginning to finish.

The idea is similar to the Ruby on Rails video: people who already know programming just want a quick and dirty crash course to get started. After the "course", they know which section of the handbook to read, and what to plan for. If Drupal has such a "pet store" type tutorial(not necessarily a video, of course), it will be very attractive to huge crowd of first time CMS users. I think as such a great product it deserves the attention and widespread adoption.

when i look at http://www.dvorak.org/blog/?feed=rss2 i can see the feed fine but when i attempt to parse it with aggregator2 i get this error:

Failed to parse RSS feed john dvorak: 406 HTTP/1.1 406 Not Acceptable.

i have no similar problem with any other feeds and the blog author says he knows of no other person with this error.

any ideas?

thanks!

Hi,

I'm trying to update the PHPBB conversionscript ( http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/drupal/contributions/tricks/phpbb2drupal )

It seems though that quite a few changes in the database have been made in the meantime. I've tried a search but could not come up with anything.

Is anyone here able to point me to a documentation of thse changes?

thanks

I have to use a CMS for my homepage where apart from some content (which would be my published work rather than blog posts) I would like to link to my other sites, blogs and probably show latest Blog headlines from my blogs. Therefore, it would be a node to all my sites. I first used Drupal but frankly did not like any of the themes, tried the “Lincoln's Revenge” theme but again CSS breaks at places (for example the login box protrudes out of the DIV box).
