The Way Forward
I've barely touched on the customizations you can incorporate into a Drupal site. Drupal has a Content Construction Kit (CCK) that can be used to define new content types, in addition to the Panels, Views, and Fields modules, which can be used to create new views, panel pages, custom fields in addition to the content types created with the CCK. I didn't incorporate use of these customizations into my existing sites, as the 6.x support is under development, and they weren't essential to the site designs.
I do, however, plan on incorporating these modules, as well as perhaps creating some of my own modules, in my next phase sites, including my Adding Ajax and Learning JavaScript book support sites, as well as my phase three sites: MissouriGreen and The Secret of Signals. I won't be able to work on these sites, however, until after I'm finished with the second edition of Learning JavaScript.
Eventually, I'll have a more indepth coverage of my use of Drupal for my sites, but this is a beginning. Do let me know if you run into any problems, and enjoy Painting the Web, Just Shelley, RealTech, and the Burningbird forums.
