How To Get Started Using Drupal

Description

Millions of people take to the internet to find information about something they want to know or need to know every day. They know that the information they want is out there in cyberland somewhere. They will often visit many sites and spend many hours trying to find the information they are after.

Here is where a well laid out content site really helps.. It will be a much more enjoyable experience for the visitor to a site if that site is laid out logically and is full of useful content. If the content is updated often they will come back again and again You know what that means if it is your site. KACHING!

The key of course is content - and lots of it. Quantity is important but so is quality. A site with quality content on it's pages can make thousands of dollars every month.

It isn't that hard to obtain quality content to put on your site. You can have someone write it for you, you can purchase private label content and modify it, or you can write it yourself. The content itself is not the issue. The issue is the presentation of that content.

So what do you do if you aren't a web master or a website designer? Well guess what - it doesn't matter! No one said you had to know very much to have a great website. (Okay maybe they did - but they are wrong). All you need is the right software and to know how to use it.

Have you ever heard the term "Open Source"? What that means is that there is software out there being developed that is free to use. Developers are free to create plugins or modules that add functionality to these programs. You can go grab this software right now, download it and start using it. You already know what it is since it is splashed all over the images on this page. It is called Drupal and it is one heck of a powerful content management system. The only problem is that it can be a bit intimidating if you have never seen it before. To be honest there is a lot to it.

But fear not! Help is right here. You don't have to try and tackle this yourself or read some dull and confusing book. You can watch it on video right now.
