It is done

And so it is done. I have finally set up the whijo.net site to run Drupal CMS. I was dilly Dallying for a long time, and trying to write my own Django powered website, but after mucking around with Drupal on two projects I decided it was well worth the time, and it will give me pretty much the same flexibility as a Django powered site, with significantly less development time ;). I wrote an article about why I dig drupal on the NML website. I have spent about a day working on this site (I had the advantage that I have been reviewing modules for the upcoming Cue online) , between family things, and eating. I took a theme called amadou and pimped it up a little (I added the bottom bar, with the three floating columns, and mucked around with spacings/theming of a few elements). My favourite Drupal pimps at the moment are pictured below:

Admin-menu and Autosave. You can see both of them running in this screenshot, the admin menu sits at the top with CSS based drop down menus (and I have resized it a bit, and placed it strategically to make it look like it has a drop shadow because of the header background), and autosave is the "Autosaved at 10:49:56 pm:"
