Creating DrupalEd and DrupalBlog

keywords:
  • Drupal core is like a block of clay, ready to be molded to fit a variety of site needs. Following the model of Linux distributions, DrupalEd and DrupalBlog are preconfigured installations which eliminate 90% of the initial configuration necessary to get a Drupal site up and running as a course platform or individual weblog.
  • Each distribution also contains a configuration guide intended to help the site administrator through the first steps in personalization of site setup, as well as providing basic explanation of some Drupal settings.
  • Each site installation includes sample content postings, categories, and additional site themes. However, DrupalEd and DrupalBlog are built off of stock Drupal 4.4.1 core files and contributed modules, making it easy to install additional modules or upgrade to later Drupal releases.
