Forward Progress

  • Drupal

Well after a few days, I have some of the site put back together.  The main reason for the update to the site was to update the software that the site runs on.  The site used to run on a CMS called Xoops, and I wanted to switch it over to Drupal.  I wanted to make the switch for several reasons, but mostly I am becoming more comfortable with the Drupal way of doing things.  In addition I felt that the Xoops platform was not moving forward with progress. 

The old site used to have a Blog, Family Tree, Photo Album, and that is about it.  I plan on having each one of those on the "new" version of the site, but it will take me a little time to get them all back up and running.  I have the blogs back up and running, and I have a plan on how I am going to get the Family Tree portion of the site back up and running.  I still have not figured out what I am going to do about the Photo Album portion of the site, but I am working on it.  There are several Photo Album modules that I can use in Drupal, I just have not figured out which one I want to use yet. 

I am working on "tweaking" the theme still, but it is getting closer to what I want it to be.  You will see some minor changes in the design over the next month or so...

I hope to have the Family Tree portion of the site up soon (I am just waiting on a software update to be released).
