Hey guys

Im new to drupal and i was wondering if it is possible to convert a pure html / css to drupal
My website has a diffrent front page then the content pages

Which is the best way for me to do this ?

Hi all,

I am new to drupal and I am going to create a new website there. I have one questions for now. I want to create two blocks in content area, but to display them vertically. I tried using one block and in body part I created a table with two columns to give a appearence like two different parts. But I think this is not the right solution.
Can anybody help me how can I do this.

Thanks in advance.

I'm working on migrating a site to Drupal 6. The client wants to be able to edit the site, including content areas, photos, and product specs (weight, height, etc), and rather than rolling my own solution from scratch or building on a framework, I figured Drupal could probably handle it.

Nothing is being sold at the site; it is purely an informational resource. What modules are available to manage not only a list of specs available across a product category, but values specific to individual products within the category?

I have done some tinkering with CCK and Views, but can't seem to find a solution that works, and haven't found a lot of helpful information, aside from vague indications of success from others attempting something similar.

Ideally, what would need to be available is:

• Specs available to all products within a category
• Values for specific products within a category
• Specs should be sortable (not by the end-user, but by the admin)
• Ability to look up all items within a category and produce a comparison table of all specs

A perfect example of what I'm trying to accomplish is here: http://www.chevrolet.com/2010silverado-3500hd/features-specs/ - check out the Powertrain section for the format I'm looking at for the comparison table.

I'm working on a project that has a Wiki. The project leader has expressed disatisfaction with the existing wiki software and asked about the possibility of integrating the Wiki into drupal. I'm wondering two things:

I installed drupal the other day (after trying about 4 other cms's) and kinda fell in love from the little I know about it, but i have a nice size site project coming up and wanted to know if it a good fit for the project.

To keep it short i have to make a kids basketball league a site and the part that will be tricky to add is the roster, the flow of it will be like this:

Roster page -> page with list of teams with wins and loses next to it(with logo, etc...) ->page with players on teams -> small play bios (a lightbox with a pic, name, age, etc...)
