Hello, Which is the simplest way to create a blog with custom design with Drupal. I want to know how to create a sidebar with block "Archive" and "Categories". And if somebody can do it in 7-8 hours I'll pay. I'll give the HTML version of the blog. Please PM your prices to me. Sorry for my English. Thank you.
Default settings of Drupal is like a blog. Its not default like wordpress, but you can easily do. Create Archive: http://drupal.org/project/archive Or just use view module. Create category: http://drupal.org/project/category Or you can manually create in Administrator >> Menu
I'd go with regular old taxonomy for the categories, that Category module page linked above even admits that it can cause trouble and slow a site down so unless you really need it, taxonomy ftw. p.s. if you really think you need to hire someone else to set all this up, drop me a PM.
