Surrey Drupal Users group Drupal 101 newbies

Surrey Drupal Users Group – 1st Meeting on May 22nd, 2008

Our inaugural meeting was well attended and turned out to be a social gathering. Dale, who organized the Vancouver Drupal Users Group, graced us with his presence and gave us his blessing. Experienced website-builder but Drupal-newbie, Katy, asked lots of questions and is always thrilled to discover how much is NOT built-in to Drupal. Katy assumed that Drupal came with full blog capability for the single-user when the blog module is enabled. But unfortunately, that is not the case. One needs to use views to set up the archiving and the tag fields and other wonderful blog features. Experienced Drupallers, Joe and Dale, were helpful in offering tips on setting up a blog in Drupal. Would anyone like to give a short presentation on how to use Views to set up a single-user blog at our next meeting? I would really appreciate it. I’m sure others would, too.
