I am glad to hear that. I am using Drupal on my website, as well as at the university I am attending now, and at my former college. I am doing some volunteer work at a local high school and I have setup Drupal there to use for all of their content management needs. I like everything about Drupal, especially the ease of installation and configuration. I especially like the ease of editing template files and CSS files to make themes look the way I want. It is all simple and it works.
