Drupal Update

I have spent a large portion of my time here at Behind the Mask starting this site over. I've done it several times and it looks like I'll have to do it at least once more...

My goal is to have the sites structure finished before I leave baring a few advanced features such as Paypal donations and a slick front page slideshow which I plan to have finished by mid october. This first goal is looking impossible considering my latest string of problems. I plan to have the site's look and feel finished by September first. Despite my latest problems this goal is still well within reach and I expect to achieve it.

With that done I will focus on migrating the database, from the old site to the new. This is something I have never done, and I don't know what kind of complications/compermises I'll have to face. I plan to have that accomplished by October 15th. With Doris's help I also plan to have the special features finished.

During this whole process I have kept careful notes documenting the use of the site. I will use the remainder of the fellowship to turn these notes into proper documentation for the site's usage from an admin point of view.

Fortunately Drupal is very user friendly if configured properly, this is what I have spent a majority of my time researching, how to design the site so it is easy to use and update.

Though the project has had it's ups and downs so far, it has gone as smoothly as expected considering I am employing a technology I had little exposure to when I started. I leave South Africa a competent Drupaler. And that is good.
