Drupal 7 Thoughts – Example Site
Drupal – the open source content management solution that powers roughly 1% of all the sites on the internet has just gone live with its new major release Drupal 7. We just did a test run of the site. Here are some of the things that we noticed:
Drupal 7 Installation
The installation was a breeze and is comparable to the famous WordPress Installation now. We had no issues with the installation and everything looked great.
Drupal 7 Admin Panel
The admin panel is very easy to navigate and is clear on how to add content (as a page or an article) on the website. The rest of the page is also very well structured. You can set up blocks from directly within Drupal which gives you more flexibility on how you want your site to look.
Drupal 7 Themes
Adding and activating themes was very easy. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of settings to change on the themes currently but with time it should improve. For our example site, we have used the Danland Theme pictured below.
Example Drupal 7 Website
We have set up an example Drupal 7 website so that you can play around with the front end.
