All you need to do is sign up for a hosting account where you can have the Drupal application installed. Here at SiteGround we offer a FREE Drupal installation! With our Professional Drupal hosting package you can start creating your site right away! If you already have a hosting account and would like to change your host, we offer free website transfer of your Drupal site.

How to create new content?

In order to add content for your Drupal web site, you need to click on the Add content link under your administrator area.
  • The Article option is suitable for a blog, news or other time-sensitive content.
  • The Basic Page option allows you to create a static page;

Content Management

In order to manage the content structure elements of your Drupal web site, you need to navigate to the Structure section under your administrator area.
In the following lines we will give a brief description of the options under this section:
Blocks - This functionality allows to manage the content that will be visualized through blocks on the sidebars and other regions of the web site. The blocks can be situated on the themes regions through a drag-and-drop interface. They are configured separately per each theme due to the different visualization setup.
Content types - Manage content types, including default status, front page promotions, comment settings and more. You can include new content types besides Basic Page and Article.
Menus - Allows to add new menu, edit existing ones, manage them, list, add and reorganize the menu links. You can also define the menu sources.
Taxonomy - You can manage the tagging, the categorization and classification of your content.

Overview of Drupal 7 vs. Drupal 8

By Unknown   Posted at  5:24 PM   drupal 8 overview No comments
Overview of Drupal 7

Is there a general overview for Drupal end-users about planned differences between Drupal 7 and Drupal 8? If I go to the Drupal Core page the links are to Drupal 8 Updates and How to Help and to the Drupal 8 Initiatives group, my impression is that both of these get very specific and technical very quickly.

However, a Google search on any of the following for site:drupal.org gets no exact-phrase results, implying there is no basic overview page for Drupal 8

overview of Drupal 8
overview of Drupal 8.x
Drupal 8 overview
Drupal 8.x overview

(of course, once I post this, this thread will turn up on Google in response to such a search)

Is there a general-language overview about Drupal 8 on a single page that is aimed at someone who has a basic understanding of Drupal general concepts, has create a small Drupal 6 or 7 site, but does not necessarily know all the buzzwords or technical intricacies of Drupal.

I'm looking for a page that gathers everything together in near-plain English, something like:

Views are a module in Drupal 7, but planned for core in Drupal 8.
Blah is a new feature of Drupal 8.
Blah blah is a feature that might make it into Drupal 8.
Webmasters migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 are expected to have pain points in the area of blah blah blah.
Module developers migrating from Drupal 7 to Drupal 8 are expected to have pain points in the area of blah blah blah blah.

and so on.
