Website launch day

I never thought this day would come.

After months and months of toil on my days off, It is finally done.

From photo galleries and a public blog (for those of you who kept up with me in the past, many of the posts from my old private blog are now exclusively in the "articles" section - it meant less work to migrate them over) to downloads and comments, my new website is official.

I originally got the idea in my head for a new site about a year ago, but was discouraged by the amount of work that would have to go into it.

Then, I found Drupal.

Last February, I started looking into Drupal and how it could help me build a much more feature-rich website than my old one. Drupal is an amazingly flexible content management system using PHP and MySQL. It makes Wordpress look like Windows 3.1 in terms of flexibility and functionality for a full-featured site as opposed to a simple blog (kudos to those of you that actually USED Windows 3.1!)

The thing I love about it is its expansive modular system, allowing you to add or subtract exactly what you need for your site. There are literally thousands of contributors worldwide that work to make it a great free piece of software. Of course there are always limitations, bugs, and other problems, but overall I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to build a website on a content management system. With some decent PHP and CSS knowledge, you can customize it to your heart's content, because the stock themes are not very pretty or not as functional as you might need or want.

Make sure you sign up for a user account and vote on my poll and tell me what you think, or leave a comment here.

Find bugs or problems? Let me know too!

Hope you enjoy it!
