    I installed Drupal yesterday ( at http://s213654844.websitehome.co.uk/hampstr/ ) completely coincidentally, I was trying to have a go at making something that was a bit like Tumblr, but searchable. I have a name ‘hampstr – a place to store stuff’, but haven’t don’t much yet.

    I used to co-admin a Drupal blog, and I loved it. Didn’t install it though, so I haven’t much clue under the hood of the hood, but it’s superb for co-blogging and community stuff. There are lots of features you just don’t get with MT/WP like messaging between bloggers and page customisation using blocks, a bit like a sophisticated widgets arrangement. Simple for blogging n00bs.

    That’s just.. what… I’m… thinking…

    Arse. A new system to learn…

    Nah, it’ll be a complete doddle for you.

    I actually downloaded it and played around in the forums for a bit before we got it going. I liked it so much, I actually would love to use it again for something, except that I’m not doing anything collaborative at the moment. And that’s me, who doesn’t much like going under the hood.

    Installation is even easier than WP – no config files to edit, although there aren’t as many themes knocking about.

    I’m looking at Drupal to run Scottish Blogs on, and it does look good. We are about to switch our intranet to it here at work as well… do let us know how you get on.
