Drupal-ized!

December 20, 2006

For a long time I've wanted to move my blog from MT over to Drupal, and last week I finally started the process. As a result, this site is a mess. I hope you'll bear with me as I figure out how to move all the old content over and get the site running again.

Working with Drupal has been more fun than I've had in a long time. It's just so flexible and there are so many yummy modules to choose from. I feel like a kid in a candy store each time I go to the Drupal site. Which goodie will I try today?

I've been a fan of Drupal since I first tried v4.5, but I haven't had an opportunity to work much with it since then. Now that our ASU web team is recommending Drupal for university use, I finally get to play with it again. And man!, 4.7 was a wonderful surprise. There has been lots of development in older modules, the appearance of some amazing new modules, and perhaps most encouraging of all, the consolidation of small related modules into larger and much more functional modules.

Drupal is growing up. And while I still think it has a ways to go to be a fully mature program, it is already one of the very best CMS out there.

It's nice to be back.
