Using Drupal to Build My Blog Site

Submitted by kai on Thu, 2006-09-21 22:08. ::

This page documents how I have used Drupal to create my blog site.

Blog software

My blog site is powered by Drupal. It currently runs on version 4.6.4. Drupal does not function nicely out of box as a blog site. Some configurations and additional modules are needed to make it nicer.

Modules to Turn on

There are the modules that come with Drupal distribution

  • blog
  • help
  • image
  • node
  • page
  • search
  • statistics
  • upload
  • ping - ping search sites to notify updates of your site. This doesn't seem to work for my site.
  • comment - I patched the file in 4.6.3 release because I want it to support captcha. Download the patched file here

Finally Started Blogging

I am finally out of school(CMU West) after 2 years.

Now I have some time to reflect on my part-time study in CMU West's master software engineering program, and write some random thoughts on varies things I am interested in such as Java and open source.
