“Drupal” is a downloadable software package that allows you to easily publish, manage and organize a wide variety of content on your website in a variety of ways. Drupal is powerful and it’s FREE. Ideal for artists, activists and community organizations who want a multimedia-rich website without spending thousands of dollars or depending on a website developer, Drupal allows you to amp up your site with all the “bells and whistles’” – including e-commerce, blogs, community forums, video, pod casting and much, much more. No knowledge of code required. Participants will each be given a Drupal installation on which they can begin building their sites. Bring your own laptop and get a hands-on and thorough introduction to the Drupal system and how it can work for you.
