Abstract

Drupal, an open source content management system and a library Website, is designed using content management system (CMS). The basic steps to install Drupal include downloading Drupal from Drupal.org, uncompressing the file, uploading the files in the Drupal directory to the web server with an FTP program, and creating the database tables. In Drupal, modules are sets of features that can be added or removed, depending on what the user requirements. When pasting content from Word, extra HXTML is added in the top of the pages' coding, dragging the content down to the bottom of the page. Benefits of using Drupal are that themes are designs that, like WordPress themes, come ready-made for users to install quickly on their sites. You can use them out of the box, or customize them by changing and creating graphic files and manipulating style sheets.
