I think that is a small question with a HUGE answer. There once was a drupal distro called drual4bloggers. But that died a slow death. A distro would be the route to take. But choosing, searching and finding all the modules, settings, special configs, themes, theme-engines etc is a tough job. though am certain that if there are a few volunteers who are confident they can maintain such a drupalBLOG distro, they will get a huge applaud from the community. It is most needed of all things in Drupal IMO :) It will give the bloggers an easy start, and take a huge burden from the shoulders of the support and docs teams.

Hi Ortles, I need a couple of questions answered before I tackle this since I use the software from a blogger POV: (1) What is it that you want to get from Drupal that you don't get from WordPress? Meaning, are you using it just for blogging or for something else, like setting a calendar of events, bookreviews, recipes, etc. (2) Are you using one Drupal installation for one user or setting it up for multiple users? (3) At what level do you want it to be WP-like? The design or the admin/editing interface? l i z a sabater www.culturekitchen.com AIM - cultkitdiva SKYPE - lizasabater TEL - 646.552.7365 On Jan 17 2006, at 09:52, dondi_2006 wrote:

Hi,

I have to build a new website. Initially I considered wordpress, then I realized that Drupal is better for the way I must/want manage and categorize content.

The reason to consider wordpress was that all blogging software make very easy to bloggers (= web surfers who do not know and do not want to know php, html, mysql....) to trackback, pingback, discover new articles through technoratic, pingomatic and similar, write about them and cross link them...

In a nutshell, I had the impression that I should use a blog tool not because it was best for *me* as the publisher: only to make it much easier and faster for the non technical web user to discover and cross-reference (=advertise!) my own pages from their blogs: you know, to provide all the trackback, pingback, permalink stuff etc... that they already know from *their* own wordpress/ MT/whatever installation.

So the question is, if/how it is possible to make a Drupal Website look/act like another blog from this point of view? Which settings, plugins, whatever?

Also, can you provide URLs of drupal-powered websites which already do this, so I can see the final effect?

Thanks in advance for any feedback,

Ortles
