I am not sure where to begin. I think I will continue to investigate Drupal 6 for now. But if you have something that takes 5 minutes... I liked one line of talking to the developers makes more of a plone (but then unusable to many users) and talking to the public makes more of a WordPress (but doesn't work the way the developers would like). I'm paraphrasing from memory, but that was the gist of it. I poked around a bit on the Drupal 7 process. I am not sure where to begin. I think I will continue to investigate Drupal 6 for now.

CMS lishma. There is nothing better than a curious neshama! Dries Buytaert, the Drupal project lead, has set user experience as a priority. The Drupal Association has hired a top-notch user experience company to help us make Drupal 7 a lot easier to install, use, administer, etc... Here is where you, Leora, comes in. The fact that you have JUST installed Drupal makes you a very valuable asset in this process. And the process is just heating up. There are lots of ways to get involved, some that take five minutes, others more. But join the crowd-sourcing fun and let us learn from you. Your participation, I guarantee it, would be most appreciated. I know that the ways that I've made a difference in Drupal have been quite gratifying to me. Here is where to start: http://bit.ly/drupal-simple Wow, Leora, you are a real learner… CMS lishma. There is nothing better than a curious neshama!

I looked you up in Twitter, and I see I am already following you! Appreciate the help. I am currently watching a video on cron jobs (and I can't say the video has my full attention, not the most fascinating topic, even if necessary). Jeff, thanks so much.

For example, you can help with usability (how the user experiences the site: is it easy to find what one needs?) and design (does the design enhance the experience or disturb it?).

Didn't understand the comments either. Fnally I supose I should be glad I don't have to learn this even if not understanding something is frustrating.

Good topic for a whole post. I changed it so you don't have to have a login to post a comment. So many things to learn! I like the idea of learning in public, so I can find out all the glitches and nuances (and others can learn, too). On a fluid page, the text moves according to the size of a browser.
