Hello all,
I wanted to pass on a web site we built in drupal geared toward a story we are doing on a new $60 Million Art Museum that is opening here in Roanoke, VA next month.
Guide to the Taubman Museum of Art and Downtown Roanoke
The plan is that this special site will be updated as the area's excitement builds toward the museum opening on November 8.
Also check out the very cool Flash Interactive.
Feel free to check it out. Let us know what you think.
Thanks,

Ver cool!
Very cool work, keep it up ; )
Excellent work...
Your site looks great, I am presently developing an entertainment and alternative news publication for The Woodlands near Houston. Would you be willing to mentor a newbie who just lost his day job and is trying to launch his own publication? I would be very interested in trading out my content creation and journalism skills for help?
design (don't shoot the messenger)
These are what good site themes look like--attractive, lots of options, good navigation, good underlying code:

In terms of design layout and aesthetics, Drupal sites are typically sub-mediocre. Let's be honest! Blame the difficulty of theming in Drupal and the heavy reliance on a minimal stockpile of free templates from eyesoredrupal.org. I hope the future is brighter.
Prosepoint and Innovation News look like really solid foundations (themewise and otherwise) -- are there others? The best of the best should be promoted in some prominent place.

Theming in Drupal get's much easier
I don't really know much about Drupal 5 or even 4, but with Drupal 6 it has made it a lot easier to organize content and do theming rather straight forward once you have learned the cookbook. Now we see a lot of dynamics in the theming field, with much more shops and clubs offering great looking out-of-the box solutions for Drupal. It will certainly help Drupal as not only leading robust platform, but also awesome looking.
Future will be very bright.
