Errrr, ummmm ....

I wouldn’t know the first thing about running Drupal; I know nothing about databases and PHP. (I barely knew anything about cgi either, but since Greymatter’s structure didn’t require familiarity with it – just html – I was okay with it.) That said, we evaluated several CMS possibilities (all open source, and all free), and while Drupal didn’t do some of the things I like, it did enough of them to be a clear winner. It was important to us not to bloat the install with a lot of addons that can make upgrades challenging; and I believe that our tech guru was able to mod a few things to make me happy without mucking with the core install. All the basic appearance parameters are in the CSS, so that I can fairly easily tweak those if I want, too, without melting down the site.

The only drawback is that image handling seems to be awkward. We’re still looking into a fix for that.

For anyone who might be interested in some tech help with Drupal or software in general, I highly recommend the individual who worked with me. He’s fast, easy to work with, and very good. If you’d like to talk with him about your project, I’d be happy to make introductions.
