Drupal

Introduction Drupal is a widely used open source Content Management System. A CMS makes it easy to manage your content through your internet browser, so that you don't have to learn a lot of fancy code. Drupal is made up of three important components:

1. Drupal Core
   Drupal Core is the code that comes with any typical Drupal installation.
2. Contributed Modules
   Modules are plugins for Drupal that extend or enhance Drupal core functionality, or add new functionality. A list of all contributed modules can be found at http://www.drupal.org/project/modules or http://drupalmodules.com.
3. Contributed Themes
   Themes are various designs available to a Drupal website owner to customize the look & feel of the website. You can download a theme from http://drupal.org/project/themes and customize it even more by adding your own logo and editing the CSS.

Examples of Drupal Websites:
