step by step Website Tutorial (lots of functionality)

This tutorial covers the creation of a website using drupal.

I am creating a site for learning purposes and wanted to document how I did it. This will help other people understand the processes I performed. This will also help me remember the things I have done especially when I need to explain them for several times in the future.

So here it goes:
