Hello everyone,
Here is my first attempt at a drupal site, or any website for that matter. I knew some programming already but nothing for online use, so this was mostly new to me. Drupal proved to be a little more difficult to get to grips with than I expected and obviously there is still a huge amount left to learn. I know there are still some problems on the site, such as it not displaying quite the same in some versions of internet explorer and having quite a few errors from the W3C validator, but I hope its functional for everyone.
About the site: Finnish renewable energy database - www.uetietokanta.fi
The site provides a searchable database of renewable energy locations in Finland. It was mainly meant to be a learning experience for me but I also wanted it to be easy to use for anyone who happened to stumble across it.
Why drupal?
I choose drupal mainly just to see what it was like. The site doesn't make use of many of features drupal can offer but I did want to allow for the possibility of expanding the site later, and drupal should make that easier if it ever happens.

Hosting
It is hosted on a micro linux instance on Amazon's ec2 cloud. This is the instance that Amazon provides free for a year. It probably can't handle much traffic but has worked great so far.
I'd appreciate any comments you might have on the site! And also thanks to everyone who posts examples on the documentation pages. It would have been 100 times harder to get even this far with drupal without those to look at.
