A fellow graduate student and I at University of California, San Francisco have recently launched a networking and information site for scientists at www.JeffsBench.com. Neither of us have any experience at web development and we chose Drupal to create our site. We have incorporated many modules (og, vote up/down, buddylist, etc.) into the site and did our best to integrate them in a usable way. We hope this site can become a Digg or LinkedIn for scientists.
Its just a regular drupal site, but using the calendar function and the blogging function. Not much else, it runs very quickly. Let me know what you think. Thanks! r/d
i have no experience on designing website and i dont even have great talent on making good graphics but after i see drupal and its ease of use, i tried it and made a fansite for a popular online game Ragnarok Online.
I recently finished renewing the website for a local event (a theater festival) at my ex-university. The site serves as brochure and blog around the event. Because the festival is mostly a promotional thing, a lot of work was put into the style and branding for each year's edition.
This year's design is centered around a 1930's carnival. The site is entirely powered by Drupal and uses a PHPTemplate theme with a CSS based layout that's heavy on images. There is also some JavaScript to make the ticket act like a real ticket (with punch holes and serial numbers) and 2 funny easter eggs hidden around the site.
I am so excited about http://leolastreetgarden.org/. It is freshly updated to Drupal 5.0, has a new look with light modifications to the foliage theme, and we are all ready for spring!
I do try to use the fewest contributed modules possible on a site, and this time I used the Masquerade, Weblink, Admin Block, Notify, Image and Event modules. Photos are a new addition; the site has been running a little over a year. Comments are moderated for now but I plan to install the Akismet module which will make that unnecessary.
