Drupal

Are you like me, never used Drupal and don’t really know what it is and what it can do?

If so, here is some information and facts on Drupal.

After reading about all of the powerful features, and finding out what it can do in the way of managing content and content sites, I’m definitely going to be using it in the future.

Drupal is a free software package that allows an individual, a company or corporation, or a community of users to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on a website.

Many thousands of people have used Drupal to power scores of different web sites, including

Community web portals
Discussion sites
Corporate web sites
Intranet applications
Personal web sites or blogs
Aficionado sites
E-commerce applications
Resource directories
Social Networking sites

Drupal is ready to go from the moment you download it (and it’s free to download).

It even has an easy-to-use web installer! The built-in functionality, combined with dozens of freely available add-on modules, will enable features such as:

Content Management Systems
Blogs
Collaborative authoring environments
Forums
Peer-to-peer networking
Newsletters
Podcasting
Picture galleries
File uploads and downloads
and the list goes on and on.

Drupal is open-source software distributed under the GPL (“General Public License”) and is maintained and developed by a community of thousands of users and developers.

Drupal is free to download and use, so why wouldn’t anyone want to give it a look-see.

If you feel some detailed video training would be a real short-cut to getting Drupal installed, configured, and operating on your web site, then take a look at this video tutorial on Using Drupal Content Management.
