I put together a website, www.HeroNU.com to help my church’s outreach plan for a sermon series my Pastor is presenting this summer. It’s called “Heroes: An Old Testament Teaching Series”.

When Pastor Dan presented the opportunity, I jumped at it because, the best way to learn about building web pages is to build web pages.  As you may know from a previous posting, I just started to learn Drupal, so I figured this was the perfect opportunity to “go live” with it.

As you can see, this is basically a one-page site, and comes no where close to using Drupal’s true power and scalability. But that is the good thing about Drupal, too. You can have an extremely complex site with multiple sections and menus, or you can create a simple site like this as well. Sure, I could have just used some static HTML, but I would have lost a learning opportunity as well.

In fact, I did learn a great deal about simple things like nodes, blocks, themes, permissions, user rights, etc. So it was a win in my book.

Now I’m thinking about how I can add to what is already there.

Any ideas?
