> Hi all,
> 
> I finally put up a new site for my business -- it's so much easier to
> do other people's sites!! I showed to a friend last night. First thing
> they said was "what's Drupal?"
> 
> Just curious what other people's thoughts are in using the word
> "Drupal" in your branding, such a "we build Drupal sites"
> 
> On the pro side, if that's what you do, you should make it really
> clear, so people looking for Drupal work can find you. (and there
> seems to be no shortage of people looking for Drupal work)
> 
> On the other hand, most people not in the business have no clue what
> Drupal, or how to pronounce it for that matter, so is using "Drupal"
> prominently on your site potentially turning away business?
> 
> I'm curious what others are thinking on this topic. Do you put Drupal
> front and center? Do you not mention it at all?
