[support] Portfolio page suggestions in Drupal 7

[tony maciejowski]

It's the old problem of why many programs are insufficiently commented.
There is never time to take a deep breath and go back and write cogent
comments. It seems to be happening in Drupal too despite links like below
(But thanks for the good intentions and motivational jibes). The good docs I
find are most of the time outdated. Understandable given the pace of change
here.
