Drupal how-to for 'new' users

Drupal is more than a content management system, it's a community of great people.
FYI  > There is a massive handbook at Drupal.org where you can find over-loads of info.
        > The Support area and the Forum on Drupal.org --good info --great people.
  Just starting out installing Drupal, see "First Things First"  you'll be up in half one hour...
There are lots of places to learn about Drupal.       One important thing to keep in mind, there are many different ways to accomplish a given task in Drupal.    When I started in June 2008, I searched and read for weeks to find out basic 'how do I do it' stuff.   I started this blog in April 2009 and is focused on those things that I ran into first with Drupal.     I hope it helps at least one person a little bit !

If your new to Drupal, Start with the last post and work up. Instructions are based on a single domain web site (not Multisite). And are guided from the admin_menu a contributed module -not fancy, but it's fast. note: admin_menu has been changed by the developers and the paths in these instructions might be a little different.  Ask a question and you will get an answer quick as possible.    thanks, Dave   http://drupal.org/user/381695           Send message    -or-   email
