The ds106 course is kicking off this week. The first assignment is to register a domain and create a blog to begin to discuss and share materials.
I have had this domain for several years and have various versions of blogs, wikis, portfolios…… hosted on it. My problem has been maintaining a regularly posting habit. The space has been successful as a playground to explore and experiment with new web technology. In this post I figured I would share a little bit about the back end of the site. Instead of using Word Press as the blog/CMS, I have chosen to use Drupal. Drupal is similar in function, but is generally seen as more complex yet more flexible. Word Press is designed as a blog tool while Drupal is more of a web content management system. Both are open source.
