Sorry for the bland title. But could not think of anything else and in a way the boring title very well reflects my current state right now. No particular reason to blog except that a blog is supposed to be regularly updated journal. Nothing much going on in my life right now. Actually something is going on but hopefully I will be able to tell you about it in my next post.

I am helping a friend of mine in setting up a blog. He, like me, is using Drupal to power his blog. Probably the only reason I am helping him is because he has been delaying it for too long citing a busy schedule (somewhat true) and lack of technical expertise in configuring it (totally untrue).

Happy Birthday Drupal!

A very happy birthday to my favourite CMS in the world. Yesterday, 5 years ago Drupal 1.0.0 was released. Thanks to the Drupal community who made this great CMS possible. Here is hoping for many more years of excellent releases, new features and more power.

Warning: This post is full of gory technical details about the changes I have made to the blog. Read this only if you are interested in the internals of this blog. If you are in a hurry you can just read the stuff in strong/bold.

I recently upgraded my blog from Drupal 4.6.2 to Drupal 4.6.5. I have also made a number of small and big changes that I had been planning to implement since some time. Here I am posting various details about my Drupal setup as well as hacks I have implemented.

Since my blog is a single person blog it does not have all the bells and whistles Drupal is capable off. It is relatively simple setup as far as Drupal capabilities go. My goals were to have a simple but feature-rich blog. Please keep this in mind when reading the following stuff.

I am posting all this here for 2 reasons:
  1. Your feedback regarding any aspect of my blog would be appreciated. I want to know what I could have done better or in a different way. Feel free to comment on any aspect of the blog.
  2. This post might help people who want to use Drupal primarily for blogging. I consider my blog to be a reasonably decent setup for a blog powered by Drupal.
