Drupal Installed

I've got Drupal up and running for HostExpress blogs and news postings. If you haven't heard of Drupal before, it's a GPL licensed content management system suitable for a wide range of purposes (including blogging) - more info available at the Drupal website.
So far I'm extremely impressed with the quality of the admin interface and features. I was tempted by WordPress and Nucleus, which were also very polished and met most needs during testing, but in the end, Drupal's support of general CMS features and add-in modules got me hooked.
I've turned on anonymous comment posting, so I'm waiting to see how well it blocks spammers.

I have observed a lot of bloggers move to Drupal. I was being lured by a friend to make a shift. However, I thought that it will be better it I try it first before making the change.
Drupal a big hit in the Solomon Islands
Drupal is getting a lot of use in the Solomon Islands. We have a core group of Linux users here, and Drupal has sort of become our de facto CMS. Some sites are:
Solomon Star Newspaper
SolomOnline.com
Forum Fisheries Agency
The Pacific Islands Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA) is also using it internally for their Intranet.

SPAM module
You need to add the spam and/or troll module if you want to block spam. Otherwise it doesn't block spam at all.
