<div>I like your approach to focusing on Drupal core. The planning your website is a tough one to tackle....in some ways, the core config bits tie directly into planning your website. Once the site is installed, there are only a few basic areas that EVERYONE will configure -- like the main settings around site title etc.
<br><br>Does planning get integrated and/or pointed to directly from the config section?<br><br>I'm feeling this is almost like a beginner manual...and I'm liking the direction...<br> </div></div>-- <br>Boris Mann<br>Vancouver 778-896-2747
