So I downloaded and installed Drupal because I want to develop a good comfort level with a CMS so that I may one day use it to my full advantage with clients. Creatively, I installed in a subdirectory of my site, it’s at drupal.gabe-harris.com. Lovely looking, right? I have obviously not done much with it yet, and I can understand why they might say it has a steep learning curve. I can’t even find a good place to get started.

I will persevere, and come to grips with this thing. Like most stuff in web development, and life, it is not as overwhelming as it first appears. I haven’t really decided what I want to do with my sample yet, maybe make a site for a fictitious company? Maybe a company that sells, let’s say, 2007 ACC Champions gear? Beautifully displayed in orange and maroon? Perhaps… I will definitely need a “premise”, a reason, a driving force for my demo site, whatever it might be. I’d like to try to involve some “2.0″ stuff, making it social and interactive. Not that there are any users to interact with, but I want to employ those concepts. It’ll be fun at any rate, now, I just need a little more time.
