Drupal
I’ve been exploring the capabilities of a different content management / blogging system called “Drupal”. It’s actually a lot more fully featured and powerful than WordPress, but takes longer to get configured properly. This week was spent trying to fix a persistent problem with the image uploading, and once I finally had a few hours to dedicate to this, I discovered it’s actually a bug in the current image uploading mechanism. With the help of a Drupal guru (and a whole lot of Googling) I figured out the nature of the bug, discovered the recently created patch, and figured out how to apply it to the source file.
At this point I’m not sure I’m going to switch this blog site over to Drupal, since it’s probably overkill for my own needs. But I am planning to set up a Drupal site for family use. I look forward to getting it ready for launch.
