Well...although the look and feel is like most other Drupal sites when they start, I have successfully migrated ThoughtSpark.org to Drupal. I have to say that Drupal has been a dream to work with. Thanks to this, I have been able to migrate ThoughtSpark.org in just a few hours. Here are a few topics I'd like to discuss about Drupal:

• Installation: Installation was a breeze. On my test box, I just followed the instructions and in a few minutes, I was up and running. On my production site, I'm running on a shared GoDaddy.com hosting environment and installation of Drupal on GoDaddy.com was painless due to push-button installation.
• Configuration: Configuration was painless as well. While I did follow the Drupal Single-User Blog article. Although the article made this process simple, the approach of Drupal would had made configuration a no-brainer even without such an article, not to take away the usefulness of the article. Since the administrative user interface is extremely intuitive, anyone could had taken an installation and ended up with what you see here.
• Extensibility: Extending Drupal has been as easy as the items above. All of the third-party modules I've installed have been without error except for the GeSHi Filter Module, which gave me a nasty PHP error. (Note: The solution to this issue was found here.)
• Appearance: Drupal comes out of the box looking like a sexy, enterprise-ready user experience. The default themes are very-well put together and are configurable as well. The problem with this is that the default looks so good that people use it forever meaning there are many sites which just scream "DRUPAL SITE". This isn't really a problem honestly but until I have more time, I guess I'll just scream "DRUPAL SITE" too.

That is all I have time for. Bottom line is that my departure from Joomla has been done without any regret. I've ran into no issues installing, configuring, extending or using Drupal for my CMS.

Well...I've decided to give Drupal a shot. While not completely dissatisfied by Joomla, I've been hearing a lot of great things about Drupal from respected colleagues. So here I am.

My plans with Drupal is to not only syndicate my own personal thoughts, views and such to you but also to use some of Drupal's more developer-centric tools to be able to manage my personal projects and such. It's the next best thing since I'm using GoDaddy.com's shared web hosting and I cannot install what I'd like, which is Trac for those of you that don't know me.

As for the site, you should see the content is as it was before but it will look completely different. I plan on massaging the look and feel of this site as time goes on. (Yes I know I'm using a standard Drupal theme but that is all I have time for right now.)

Anyway, wish me luck.
