Week 10: Customizing Your Drupal Theme

In the Week 10 notes and video we'll learn how to make minor tweaks to the CSS of a drupal theme to customize the look of your drupal site.  There are links to more in depth or advanced tutorials, too, for those who optionally wish to create their own drupal theme.

The details of the final project due July 30th have been posted to the week 12 notes.  I changed it so that you can just send me a screenshot (picture) of your site instead of having to create a video tour.  The requirements and info on how to create a screenshot and send it to me are posted on the final project page.

Just a note, too - I appreciate your patience with this experimental class.  This is the first time I have taught it, and the first time it has been taught this way (learning CSS early, and using Drupal).  I have worked out a way where we (ITLS) can host each of your Drupal sites (using Drupal multi-site which allows one drupal install to host multiple different drupal sites), but of course it is too late this time.  But this would make it so that a) your drupal site can be seen by the world and b) we can handle some of the technical issues like installing FCKEditor and other modules or increasing the PHP file upload limit :)  Of course I'll be making several other improvements, also, including better quality videos :)

Please email me if you have any questions or run into any problems at all!  Don't worry about creating a perfect, finished Drupal site.  I just need evidence that you've tried your best and learned from these last few weeks and that is enough for you to get full credit for your final project :)
