Hey everyone,

I'm making a personal portfolio type site, the reason I went for drupal was because I wanted to have pages to add content to a projects list - similar to a blog layout and entry, as well as have my blog on the page. But this seems to be a bit of a problem with multiple blogs on a site, but then someone was saying Story can act the same as a blog on a different website, but I can't see how, it just seems to act like a single page.

So I'm trying to think whether I'm using Drupal for the wrong sort of things, or whether I should be making my own module for a different content type (i.e. Projects).

I don't know and was just wondering if someone can give me some advice - I know I keep posting questions on the forums, but I really am struggling to see through everything on Drupal.

Check out the http://doitwithdrupal.com. There is a free video that shows a project created that looks very similar to what you are trying to accomplish. There is a steeper learning curve to drupal than other systems but they do not compare in functionality or ease of use once you figure out what you are doing.

CCK, Views & Organic Groups out of the box should fit the bill for what you want to do.

Thank you for your help, was their a particular video you could recommend me cos there are plenty on their for a number of different sites, I guess I'll start looking into CCK, Views and Organic Groups cos I dont know what any of them are.

The steepest learning curve is Views. Check out the tutorials on www.gotdrupal.com. They are excellent in explaining relationships and arguments.

www.planetdrupal.tv has all of the tutorials in one place.
