Excellent blog and I agree with all of it. > been there done that. Same here. > You can make any system strict if you want. Events calendar just add one on. > Or get one with an events calendar and spend two weeks trying to configure > and learn the rest of it.... I'm in the same boat as Elle. I'm working on a site for a private school. I agree with Mr. Veen about the vernacular involved. I tried Drupal once and couldn't get past the "node" this and "block" that. What brought me back to Drupal was a failed attempt at making WordPress (looked like a blog and not a website, the event calendar is really weak and forget about volunteers - it is the best blog software IMHO), an article at IBM's Developer web site (http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/ibm/osource/implement.html) and the Drupal book by David Mercer. You'll find that everything you try will get you to 80% and that's very frustrating. Just find something that you're comfortable installing and maintaining. They're free - download them and play with them.
