Creating a fun and nifty site with e107 no comments
I’ve been mucking around with Drupal for a few days and I just couldn’t get the whole flow of the thing. I mean sure I know how to create content and all that but it comes out as unnatural. I don’t mean to diss Drupal, far from it. I have seen drupal sample sites and they are so nice to gawk at. But the thing is I can’t bring myself to be interested in how I can make my site in it. I am more inclined to work on something that sparks my interest. The shortcoming is clearly mine not Drupal’s.
So while looking for cute svg icons I stumbled into free-source.net. I was just amazed at how the site looked like. Talk about pure eye-candy. When I found out it was made with e107, I dumbly thought about Enlightenment, the nice window manager for *nix. Well it’s not that far in terms of beauty.
Just look at the admin area of a e107 site. Quite powerful isn’t it? Very user-friendly too.
There you go. Now I have made your mouth water about e107. On my next posts I will guide you through on making a local webserver for development purposes so you can test your custom changes before uploading it to your online site.
