This two-day workshop teaches you to create your first custom theme from scratch. You’ll learn how well-built themes integrate seamlessly with the rest of Drupal. You’ll customize the basic look for your site by creating a basic layout, defining block regions and adding a custom style sheet.

Question About a Drupal Site's Modules
I'm new to Drupal and found several sites where I like the layout and functionality. I'm trying to figure out what modules were used on a particular site. Is there a way to find out what modules are being used on a site via the source code or via another module/method?
I've looked at the source code for a Drupal site I like, but I'm not seeing any references to modules.
Thanks for the help.

Read moreMoving Drupal site to Git without undermining security
I would like to move the site I administer into git, but want to make sure I do so responsibly.
What is the best practice for this -- only using a private repository on GitHub, or selectively moving files to GitHub (e.g., excluding settings.php and the database)?
Thanks!

Hi everyone
I have been messing with Drupal and other CMSs for a while (3+ years). But I chose Drupal and stack with it since then no matter how hard the learning curve was.

But now I want to save time and be efficient expediting my projects getting direct help from all my groups. Most issues being discussed here are grabbing my attentions because they are very important that's why I joined so many groups.
