I just saw my latest Drupal article is now published on Adobe.com, and this is the first in a series I have produced.
"Read on to see how you can set up a Drupal site in just 10 steps. Learn about adding content, altering menus, modules, and themes, and how to get your site ready for search engines and users."
Read the article now at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/dreamweaver/articles/drupal_site_in_10_steps...

Congratulations!
This is THE BEST 10-minute introduction I've seen so far. It's exactly the sort of thing that grows Drupal overall, to everybody's benefit. Good work. :)

much appreciated
Thank you, Tom. I actually wrote this article after the next one scheduled to come out. I had fun writing it. I kept thinking "when I was new to Drupal..." to keep the info relevant, quick, yet informative. But, you know how that is. ;)
I'd like to hear from others who have read the article and all good suggestions will not go unnoticed.

The php server bit
I appreciate the article, and all of the commentary after Step 1 was helpful to me.
What would I love is a bit more on what you mean when you say "Drupal is deployed by beginners". I think many people who gather that they have the prerequisite knowledge get spooked when they "create an empty database with its own user name and password" and then can't figure what permissions to give that user. There are many places to go astray - Step 1 has three and then another five sub-steps, plus a link to a (great) seven page article.
As an aside, I'd also benefit from an article in your tone like, "How to know when you know enough SQL" or even better, "The X number of passwords you'll create when you develop a drupal site".
Thanks again.
