Hi there,

I've been developing PHP site and using Joomla and Wordpress for years, but after much research and thinking decided to switch to Drupal. I'm a helluva newbie though, and I have quite a lot of newbie advice that I'd really appreciate some help with, just until I'm on my feet. Of course, I do always search forums, google, etc - extensively before making posts to a forum.

Is this the right place to post to, or should I rather post to the JNB topic even though I live in Cape Town. I mean is anyone even going to see this post?

Well, let's hope there is someone out there that gets back to me.

Chat soon,

Mark (SparkySpider)
