What is Drupal?
Drupal is a free, super-powerful content management system for sites that require information posting and collection, including blogs, forums, videos, photos, and databases of information. We think it is the best platform available. Here's why...
Why Drupal?
More and more savvy organizations are going with Drupal for content management, and its no mystery why. It’s free, flexible, and easy to maintain for small or large volume sites. Learn more...

Heisenberg?
The idea that the page doesn't exist until someone views it reminded me of the Heisenberg Uncertainty principle.
Mike, you guys are certainly pushing me to learn Drupal. Thanks for all of the great stuff you are doing.

Where We're Headed
Was having a conversation with a fellow web developer friend yesterday and he pointed me to this episode of your podcast. Agree with the guy you were interviewing ... that's what we were talking about. There has been for a while, but this shift to content management systems building and, well, being the web is picking up steam. I am one who uses TextWrangler and codes my own sites, html and css (and other scripting languages) but am being drawn more and more toward CMS-es like Drupal and Wordpress. Would be interested to read Mr. Feiler's book. If I don't get a free copy, will be looking it up for sure.

Great Interview
G'day Guys,
Another great Drupal interview. I have the SAMS CSS book and would love to add another Drupal one!
Thanks for the podcast.

Filemaker leading to Drupal
Another interesting interview this week. I have taken audio Filemaker courses presented by Jesse Feiler and was excited to hear him speak about Drupal. I've been facinated by Drupal for over a year now and have made several attempts to wrap my brain around it but just can't generate that initiation energy required. I've worked with Filemaker since version 3 and it is heartening to hear Mr. Feiler, knowing that if his Filemaker brain made the intuitive leap to Drupal than I can surely follow. I will try again to "make order out of chaos".
Would love to be in on the book draw.

I enjoyed Mr. Feiler
Ya know, I've been beyond an introduction to Drupal for a long time, but just listening to Mr. Feiler, I couldn't help wanting to read his book. He just seemed uniquely thoughtful and refined. So give me his book, please! ;)
Drupal rocks
I'm glad to have found such a podcast, definitely subscribed to your site, and looking forward for more.
I'm very new to Drupal, but not to the concepts of CMS's, OpenSource, Community, etc. I'm going to build by new personal domain (linuxgeek.ro) using it and also I'm going to create a website for an environmental, mountaineering club (transmont.ro) in a few days.
If the bid is still available I want to participate, here's my credentials :

Have Fun!
Really helpful!
I'm still new at Drupal, as is most of my organization, so I found this is pretty helpful.

Good Interview
I enjoyed the interview and hearing Mr. Feiler's comments about the changing nature of Drupal site building and that all important question of what to do if you have a problem not covered by the book. Good work!

Always use a CMS
When I started out doing webdesign about 2 years ago, I used to be one of the crowd favouring handcrafted html, since this seemed to be the only way of getting clean and lean code. And, of course, I was not aiming at big business or magazine sites ;-).
In the meantime, things have changed dramatically. Today I wouldn't touch even a brochure project without some kind of CMS, if it were only for the better customer interface. Aside from that, for all things dynamic I have become a big Drupal fan. But, hey, there is still so much to discover ...
By the way, great podcast series!
Cheers
