Hello There! I have a friend who needs a website. He is a musician/songwritter. He told me to make him a website using drupal (which I've heared of ... a lot) because he used to post content from such a CMS and would be easy for him to use. Now, I've never installed or used drupal before so here are my questions: 1. Is it hard to install? 2. Do I need something special on the webserver, then the things phpFusion uses? (I mean, something like a php module) 3. Is there any official site were I can find cool drupal themes? (I saw on their website some.. but they wouldn't suite a musician website) 4. I want you to tell me what plugins should I add Here's what the friend needs: - Post News - Post Events - Post Songs/Download Links - Post Lyrics To Songs - Photo Gallery - Video Gallery - E-Mail Subscription So? Can anyone guide me on the things I would need to set him up such a website? Thanks in advance
It's easy to install, you install from cpanel Fantastico or learn from the Installation guide For free theme you can find here http://drupal.org/project/Themes http://drupal2u.com http://drupal-theme.net Code (markup):
You need to take it one step at a time, but for sure Drupal can please your friend. Try to install it first, yes the server needs to run php, but which server doesn't? Try to get a linux based server with php, at dreamhost for instance, create a mysql database and start from there.
