Reading About Drupal

December 28, 2009

Well Christmas is over now and its time to get back to the challenge!

Christmas day was good apart from the hayfever (New Zealand doesn’t get a white Christmas!)  We ate a lot and sat about so now I am feeling ready to hit it hard and get his website conquered!

It was quite good to have a break and then to look at it with fresh eyes and a new sense of vigour.

I couldn’t decide whether to try to get the theme to look how I want it to or to get the site to work how I want it to and then to worry about how it looks later. I am still not really sure but I have decide to get the content and the functionality all sorted out first because I am not really 10% sure how it should look.

Also as I am creating a website for my boyfriend as this test site, then I fugure that he may have some ideas of how he would like it to look and I will not be able to deal with those comments until I have the site in better working order.

So I am working through the tutorials at Learn By The Drop, which have really helped me and also made me feel like I am still relaxing a bit coz its kinda like watching tv.

I think what I have to figure out is what I would like on the front page and then decide whether we would like to try selling from the site as that will add in another whole load of things I need to think about and I would rather do it now than do it later when the site looks great and it would be a hassle to add anything.

So I am looking through Google to see how others have created e-commerce sites with Drupal and also I have been looking out photos and content for the site coz it won’t be much of a site if there isn’t anything on it!

Feeling quite relaxed as I am not really doing anything difficult right now. I know it will get bad again tho as soon as I start to actually DO SOMETHING and stop reading… 😀 he he
