Once again I emerge from my hole and post another incredibly infrequent article with the promise of more frequent ones to come. But this time I have a plan… kinda.
I’ve discovered I have a medical illness. It’s scary and you probably have it without realizing it. It’s called “IDontKnowDrupal-itis” and it affects millions of Americans. But I’m here to do something about it, and you can ride along with me. I’m going to beat the disease, and so can you!
Over the next few days, I’m going to be jumping into Drupal head-first by creating a pretty elaborate user-generated marketplace site. “What’s a user-generated marketplace?” you head-scratching, non-banjo-playing people may ask? It’s sorta kinda like Craigslist, but not really. The best site to compare it to is a place like ThemeForest, or iStockPhoto. It’s a place where users can upload digital (or real, in the case of Etsy) content and sell it, with the owner of the site taking some percent of the gross sales. It’s a model that’s getting big, and it’s a not-too-simple (blog), not-too-complex (Google) type of site to start out learning a framework/CMS on. It’s going to have some pretty cool and unique features, too (I hope).
So stay tuned for lots of Drupaly goodness, and plenty of laughs as you watch me flounder about like a madman in a sea of sanity.
Got something to say? WELL NO ONE CARES! Except for me, so let me know…
