[support] Drupal7 or CodeIgniter fro new website?

[George Dawson]

It seems to me that using CodeIgnighter would be easer, much easier. But maybe that is just me. I have found beyond the basics Drupal to be harder to learn than a new programming language.

>	b) Google map with needles pointed to the cities within the state
>To see Places, you have to select a city from the list or the map.

>(Cicero, IL: Cindy Lyn Motel, Henry;s Drive Inn, Robin Hood Muffler

>Clicking on the Place link on the list or clicking on the needle on
