Using Drupal
What Drupal is
Drupal is a web content management system, which is essentially a software package that can both help with creating the content for a website as well as setting up various sophisticated functionality. Drupal is open source software, which means that it is free to use. It is developed and supported by a large number of volunteers around the world.
It is useful for simple personal to complex professional websites. It is very popular with individuals, non-profit organisations, as well as commercial companies. Some of the big sites using Drupal are
- www.wfp.com (World Food Programme)
