Show off your Drupal site

Hi all,

For anyone interested, we have changed our site "The Daily Grail" over from PHP-Nuke to Drupal. We are a 'fringe science' news site, heavily community based.

Drupal is an excellent system for involving the community more - the member blogs are quite popular on the new site. For anyone interested, here's the areas that I think need more work (at least for the needs of our website):

1) Image handling: Some sort of easy and well designed system of adding images to nodes/terms, as well as image galleries. I know there are ways of doing this currently, but I think it needs to be more 'professional'.

2) Theming: I think the current theming system is back to front. Ideally we want the same setup on the site, but with minor variations of colour scheme or font size to suit members (the inevitable problem of 50% wanting white text on black, the other 50% the opposite). The current theme setup makes this difficult.

3) More user-friendly interfaces: eg. the ability to customise a 'blog front-page' to list titles and authors in different ways (most recent, most popular, 'noted' authors etc). This concept could extend to the articles module as well and other parts of the site. I realise that this is a situation where Drupal coders might say "get off your lazy ass and write it yourself"...I'm just adding my thoughts on how to make Drupal wildly successful with the unwashed masses. ;P

Utilizing Drupal as a front end to what could amount to 200 or more RSS Feeds from two different domains. Adding a new twist to job search listings. Has anyone started analyzing a job board for drupal?

Thought I'd better repost a link to my drupal-powered site (Mad Props), since I've redone it slightly.

Not only are we using a new theme (one I knocked up), but we'er also running a module of my own design called propstar.

Basically this module lets users vote for posts (using a 5-star rating) which have been flagged as 'promoted'. If the post's average score exceeds a preset threshold, the post appears on the front page. Otherwise it is accessible through the poster's blog.

Hello,

I have used many nuke/news systems and I have found drupal to be the best by far. It is developed very professionally from the ground up. It may have less development than some of the others but the community is vast and they are very smart cookies. They are spending more time on making it right than making it fast.

Anyway - here is my little site:

Your comments are all welcome.

Best regards,
