Drupal 7 has just come out - unfortunately, the documentation hasn't quite caught up with the new framework.

The install process asks you to select a Standard or Minimal installation without explaining the difference.

These options are 'installation profiles' - which basically specify a list of modules that are automatically installed and enabled with the main site installations. The details for these installation profiles can be found in the Drupal content folder (for example, the document root of the site you are installing) under a directory called 'profiles'.

A few weeks ago I asked my friend Sofee at Heart Shaped Designs if she would mind designing a site theme for RandomtTweak.

After a couple of weeks of swapping thoughts (from me) and designs (from her), I was handed a pretty smart looking final design and the component images and font specifications for me to use in creating the final HTML/CSS design. I just hope that Sofee will forgive what I've done with her design...

Theming Drupal

Notice a change?

Well, not only has the layout changed for the site, the backend system has been migrated from WordPress to the Drupal Content Management Framework.

WordPress is a pretty good system for publishing simple blogs, but I found that extending it to support more complex posts and site configuration wasn't all that easy. Doing a bit of research, and after playing around with a couple of other systems, I picked out Drupal.
