Just launched my new Personal Blog at http://www.kevincarbonaro.com

Finally I have a working blog site at http://www.kevincarbonaro.com

It was not that difficult to build, however I did encounter a few irritations, till I found a workable solution especially for the photo albums. If you read through my blog posts, you will get to know about the additions I made to the site every now and again.

The following is a list of currently used non-core modules:

- Administration Menu: Makes it easy for administrators to get to any of the administration options.
- CCK + Image Field, File Field
- Views
- Image Resize Filter
- IMCE
- IMCE WYSIWYG API Bridge
- WYSIWYG
- Lightbox2
- Webform
- Fivestar
- Voting API

You will also see how I built a Drupal/PicasaWebAlbums solution, using some open-source code. It works really well :)

Feel free to visit my site and ask me any questions about how I did this and that! I will try to answer all as quickly as possible.

brutaly honest

You did a good job ptuting it together, but it doesn't stand out. You should look into some themes and update the look. Make it personal!

tks for your comments

I agree with you there, I need to make it more personal, however I have not found a theme which I like and have to say that there is a lack of Drupal 6 themes (or maybe do not know where to look yet).

I just bought a book on Drupal Themes, and I'm going to try my hands at creating one from scratch. Have already created the layout and graphics in Photoshop.

Hopefully I will like creating Drupal themes so much that I start creating some free ones for the public :)

Thanks again for your comments,

Kevin C.
