Beginning Drupal

Bring your laptop and follow along.
{Recommended that you have either a LOCAL INSTALL or a free trial account at http://WebEnabled.com }
I have a blog post on how to set up a free Drupal set up on WeBEnabled see it here http://www.cmsquickstart.com/blog/brief-tour-cool-stuff-webenabledcom-ha...

Starting off we'll cover some quick slides about Drupal terminology, what Drupal is, and how it began.
Then, wasting no time, we're going to start with a fresh Drupal welcoming screen and begin building a blog site.

You will learn:
- Terminology: We have our own language. The chats, screencasts, and books make MUCH more sense when you speak the language!
- Configuration: We're going to build a BLOG SITE from beginning to end!

As we build a blog site from SCRATCH you will learn how to use:
Blocks-&-Regions - Content Types - Taxonomy - CCK - Comments - Mollom anti-spam service - User Permissions Settings - Themes Configurations - Site Information Settings - and other fun aspects along the way.

I will be using Acquia Drupal, so if you bring a laptop with a local host setup OR trust the WiFi to access a remote install, [see note above] then you can follow along. Either way you will learn valuable Drupal Skills!
