My web-site is intended to be a resource for Seniors on a budget in my home town. It is a "labor of love" when I'm not screaming in frustration over my inability to do things Drupal is capable of because I don't understand the documentation. I'm married with a teenage step-son, I have a full-time job in an unrelated field, and I volunteer at the local Animal Shelter.
Back to the web-site - we have no budget so I'm doing everything - the development, the content, the maintenance, everything. And, I have no background in this. I'm writing this section so that if you happen to read this after hearing me whine about the inconsistency between Drupal's outreach to the non-developers versus the requirement to code in PHP and Javascript to perform simple tasks you'll cut me some slack. (Yes, I'm having a bad day. Why, oh why, does one have to learn Javascript in order to recolor the OpenLayers popup window so that people can read the linked text??? Was this an effort by some elitist programmer to keep the status quo of Drupal being by and for only developers?)
