You show me how to use a Drupal CMS, I buy the coffee/beers!

Posted by trishanderton on April 7, 2012 at 2:39pm

I'm a relative Drupal noob who needs help figuring out how to do basic site management. I don't need to build anything or code anything - just use the CMS I've been handed on a site that I'm running for work.

I've used several CMSs and am generally technically conversant (I know HTML/CSS, Photoshop, InDesign, Wordpress, etc.). Most people consider me a nice person. I would really appreciate an hour or two of help at the cafe/watering hole of your choice in the DC area!

Cheers,

Trish

I'd love to help! I'm free after 6 on the weekdays (minus Monday and Thursday), and usually during the weekends. I'd be happy to meet you in the city on a day that works for you, provided it's on the red line - maybe Dupont Circle or Cleveland Park.

I have a background in Drupal project management and front-end development. I've trained several coworkers on Drupal site management and am happy to show you as much as you want/as we have time for. :)

You rule!

I can meet you at 6ish, anywhere with wireless, if you know a good place. We'll have your computer to work on, right?

Wednesday is great. How about

Wednesday is great. How about James Hoban's at 1 Dupont Circle? And yes, I'll bring my MacBook Pro.

Lucky for you, being in NC for the weekend. Perfect crisp weather up here.

Ooh, I've never been there!

Ooh, I've never been there! See you there this Wednesday at 6. If anything changes last-minute, I'll have my phone on me and will see updates to this thread.

Excellent, I'll do the same.

Hi, just checking to make sure we're still on for tonight. I'm wearing a bright-gold sweatshirt that says ASU in big letters so I'm easy to spot :-)

Cheers,

Yep - I'm wearing a black blouse and a flowery skirt, hopefully will be easy enough to spot as well. See you at 6 at James Hoban's!

Hey I'm around too if you want me to fill in, I'm always up for some Java and Drupal tutorial/sharing. I was where you were about a year ago and I always love to see people's eyes light up to show them how powerful drupal is!
