Getting to Know Drupal http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2009/06/05/getting-to-know-drupal/ http://sites.middlebury.edu/lis/2009/06/05/getting-to-know-drupal/#comments Fri, 05 Jun 2009 20:35:26 +0000 http://sites.middlebury.edu/list/?p=315 drupal-logo1You’ve probably heard Drupal mentioned in discussions about our new website, but you might not know what Drupal actually is. Drupal is a web-based Content Management System, similar to the software that our current website runs on, but also different in many ways. In this session, Ian McBride will discuss the things that makes Drupal unique, why we chose Drupal as a platform for our new site, and look at some examples of the ways we can extend Drupal to improve our website.  We’ll spend some time looking at an extension developed by Amherst College, the only other school running its entire web presence on Drupal, named Monster Menus which we’ll be using as part of the core functionality of our site.

This session requires no technical knowledge of our website, content management systems, or programming, but is a great opportunity for you to ask questions on those topics.

When:  Monday, June 15 from 3:30-5 pm
Where:  LIB 105
