I have been the webmaster of the United Christian Church website for about a year. It is the site of the local church that I pastor, plus, it is the site of the United Christian Church and Ministerial Association. UCCMA is a Christian Pentecostal fellowship that has 20,000 licensed and ordained ministers. According to our 1and1 stats, we received 11,776 unique visits in August 2006. I saw this as great potential to leave the static website approach of frontpage and instead build an online community using the open-source (free) drupal content management system.

The new site should go live in the next week. This is the second site that I have built using Drupal.

After the installation of Drupal and all the various modules needed to meet our specific needs, uploading content is easy. It also gives me the ability to enable users to post directly to the site. Making it very easy for out users to get new articles uploaded. (With frontpage, I would have articles emailed to have posted on the site. That gets old fast.)

The capabilities of Drupal seem endless.

I am sure I will post more about Drupal as I go.
