Variety Network Migration To Drupal

Hello, everyone!
Today, I'm coming to you from Sprint's fabulous network via an ISP known as Clear, but more about that later.

As you may note, my website, once a rather generic looking one, is now changed. I have migrated it to Drupal so as to provide me with an easier method of keeping content up-to-date, something I should be more apt to do from this point forward. Drupal, for those who don't know, is a free, open-source content management system. You can create anything from a basic html page to a full-fledged forum using only the core modules provided with Drupal. I expanded it slightly in order to migrate my wordpress blog over, something that seemed to work quite well, aside from getting media information linked. That, however, I decided I could look at later.

The process to migrate the site was fairly easy. First, and this was the most important step, I created the website in a completely different location than my main one. After installing and configuring Drupal, (something which took hours, by the way), I copied the files and database over to my main website. I thought I would have more problems than I did, but when I went to the website, it pulled up Drupal just as I'd expected it would.

I have been impressed with Drupal and the functionality you can get with it! It combines a website with blogs, forums, and other things, something I've looked for for quite a while. I'll definitely stick with this content management system for quite a long time.

Have fun, folks, and feel free to register and comment.
