Drupal

We use Drupal for our school district website.  It was quite a learning curve!  We are still in Drupal 5 largely because of that learning curve and the modules we need, but can now upgrade to Drupal 6.  We will be working on our theme so that it will be compatible and then do the final upgrade.  The site I want to feature today is Drupal Garden, it allows you to create a website using Drupal 7, and it is awesome.  I do know a bit about using Drupal.so was able to get around pretty easily but I do love the management features and getting a look at how Drupal 7 might function.  You can actually create your site and then export it so that you can host it yourself.  If your district is looking at a Content Management System, Drupal is one of the biggest, but for those who are accustom to using FrontPage or DreamWeaver to create websites it is a very new kind of environment. This would be a good way to get a look at that environment before making the move.  We are still novices and sometimes call in an outside consultant to help us when we are trying out very new things but it has been interesting!

10 Alternatives To Delicious.com Bookmarking

I used Delicious for a long time, I switched a couple of years ago to Diigo but kept my Delicious account. Now Delicious is being shut down so here are alternative sites for those of you who are using it. Delicious was a really good service but I am sure you can find something you will like. Remember to export you Delicious bookmarks so you don't lose them.
