The International Splash Awards are back — happening at DrupalCon Vienna on 14 October 2025! Submit your project(s) by 16 June 2025 and join others from around the world to celebrate the very best of what Drupal can do.
For starters, I am new at CMS's, even though I have been doing HTML based web sites since 1997. The sites are using the included themes. Either I find themes I can download online, or I will just have to figure out how to design them. On one site, I have three CMS sites that are for different reasons.
1. John Muir Alumni Drum Association - based in Pasadena California, a very successful drum corp feature students and alumni of several Pasadena schools. http://www.ymp.net/jmada/forever/
Ported across my entire site from a mish-mash of tools like WordPress to get everything under one Drupal banner. The design was done fresh, using Marvin_2k as the base (spent too damn long fighting with tables, even if there are still a couple of CSS glitches to clear up at some point in the future). Overall, nice system - although trying to track down all the little odds and sods that needed to be tweaked in the various files was a genuine killer ;-)
However, this community site is a testcase too. I try to find a way to add commerce to a community, without it become annoying or too obvious.
More specific: I try to find a way to merge the community with commercial users. Users that pay (Advertisers in a way) are treated differently, but are in essence, still users, only with more permissions and more possibilities.
I hope this new way of advertising gives some interesting ideas to others. But first of all I hope it works on this new drupal site.
-I've just launched a website, http://www.ubermondo.com, and I'd love to get your input. It's a community-driven site, and there aren't very many users yet, so there isn't a lot of content yet, but I'd still like to hear what you think.
New site for my wife who is a piano teacher. Uses Phptemplate and features lots of mp3s via filestore. I FTP'd the MP3s to the server then uploaded m3u's with filestore. I will eventually (when I'm not FTPing my pants due to stress at work) find a solution where the m3us get generated when one uploads an mp3. Simple site, and the best thing is we had it up and filled with initial content in 3 days!
