Hi,

I have a non-drupal, just HTML site.

I want to install drupal so that I can make some of the pages editable i.e. user should be able to add remove articles etc from one page.

How should I go about doing this?

Thanks in advance.

regards

How big is it?

You can set up your Drupal site offline, or in a directory. Transfer all of the content into it and switch it over.

Just kill the HTML side all together, don't fuss with mixing the two.... though I suppose you could by redirecting things.

thanks for your reply...

the site is about 30 pages, with drop-down menus.

I have starting using drupal just this week.

I have added the site folder (only HTML) to the drupal folder as you said, but I am not able to see my site content any where in the drupal menus.

regards

amitbhattceng If I am reading socceronly's statement correctly, what was intended was for you to transfer the content of the 30 html pages into Drupal pages and just get rid of the old html files as the content would now be living in Drupal.

If you want to keep the static pages and have them display side by side with the Drupal site you need to setup the navigation menu in Drupal to create the links on the Drupal site to the html pages and the appropriate links from your static pages to the Drupal URLs. You can read how to create menus at http://drupal.org/documentation/modules/menu.

Once you get a hang of Drupal you will probably realize why we are suggesting just put the content in the Drupal site as the ease of maintenance and what you can do will make it worth your while. Good luck!
