I've been playing with drupal for about 6 months now so far I've done my personal site zaneMATTHEW.com and this one BreakingThePlain.us.
The site is dedicated to show casing other website's that are unique/ground breaking/or "break the traditional plain of design". So far there isn't much to the site. I'm still working on adding more modules and content as well as theming as needed.
Please provide any type of feedback? colors? layout? content?
Also I want to know does this kind of site seem realistic?
What would make a user want to come back to the site?
Would you come back?
What would you want to see on the site?
Some things I plan to add/fix:
possible a custom front page
fix views to show only one tag name and then number of tags i.e. "Flash(3)"
fix upload section on "submit" page
organize views so "current news" is on top
add some type of image gallery/view to the right to
safari banner issue is all the way to the right(i don't have safari so this is really hard to trouble shot)
implement a show/hide JavaScript to show/hide the custom login bar uptop
I just finished off http://www.hagwanhelper.com - for the second time. It was fascinating to see how much I had learned and how much drupal has changed since the first time I opened up this crazy can of worms.
When I first created the website I built it with drupal 4.7.2, back when the dinosaurs roamed the earth. I spent months building it. Days on the forums fixing the smallest of things, tearing my hair out, swearing like a sailor at the screen.

Uusisuomi.fi was launched this morning and the site seems to be using Drupal.
Uusisuomi.fi is a reincarnation of a quality newspaper in Finland that has its roots in 1847 when its predecessor Suometar was born. The publication of Uusi Suomi was discontinued in 1991. Nikotiimi Oy, owned by one of Finland's richest man Niklas Herlin, bought the trademark of Uusi Suomi in May 2007 and his project with Uusi Suomi has attracted a lot of attention in Finnish media before the launch today.
KidPub (www.kidpub.com) was launched in 1995, making it one of the older sites on the web. Its mission is to encourage kids to write by giving them a worldwide audience for their creative work. Over the years we've won a lot of awards and had a lot of fun.
The original site was done in Perl and CGI. Back in those days there weren't many choices. The Linux server sat in my living room, and the local ISP couldn't figure out how to subnet, so we had a class C network all to ourselves. In 2000 we did a major rewrite, moving to PHP and a shared hosted server. The latest rewrite was completed in April of 2007, when we moved from custom PHP to Drupal, and to dedicated hosted servers.
Overall the move was a positive one. It took quite a bit of work to get the right 'look' for KidPub, since we had 12 years of history to carry along while at the same time giving a fresh feel. Some compromises were made in cases where some bit of functionality or design would have meant extensive customization in order to keep things easily maintainable. The Aurora theme was the best fit in terms of carrying some legacy design elements (the notebook paper) and offering a look and feel that appeals to our target audience of 10 to 14 year olds.
