It took me five months to get to a point were the page is now nearly finished. And i just wanted to say some words about my experience with the community and with my installation of Drupal itself. When i first started and i had to decide on a CMS, i ended up with the choice between Drupal and Joomla, as both of them had a big community and i knew i would need plenty of help to get my page up in the next 6 months. but i really had hard time at the beginning. And now because i’m not a programmer it is often hard for me to judge if the problem is in the module or me. And because there is, on the most part, not very good documentation, i’m just left behind with a bunch of questions and this irritates me much. You should be having a great knowledge about web, php, mysql to cope with this script i think When i started being a webmaster, i had only very poor html knowledge, so i had to teach myself php, mysql and css basics to get over the issues i had; first, with the installation of Drupal itself and later, with configuring the many modules needed for my page.
