To paraphrase Groucho Marx – I don't like to speak ill of the dead but in the case of our old Wordpress blog site, I'll make an exception.
Merely four postings ago I declared that I was quite unhappy with our blog web site and that we'd be moving away from Wordpress and towards a Drupal platform. Well, four months later I'm happy to say that this has (finally) all come true.
I could say a few things about why it took so long but I'm not going to do that here. Instead I'm going to use that as the basis for a number of future posts about the power, and usability weaknesses, of Drupal.
Drupal is a very well established, open source content management system. I came to know it in a sort of 'back-to-front' way because my first experience with it was by tracing through the bowels of its engine and finding out what made it tick. Compared to Wordpress innards (very scary in its haphazardness) Drupal's core looked like the work of a genius (which perhaps it is).
