Blogging in Drupal

Blogging is a very big topic these days. Most people who are new to the web get introduced through blogs. Drupal, at the moment, is not a very good blogging platform out of the box. My mission is to make it better.
There is only one way to do this, which is with an install profile.
Most people are attracted by WordPress because of its ease of setup, and with it, an immediate blogging platform. WordPress bills itself as 'WordPress is what you use when you want to work with your blogging software, not fight it.' And that is what it does. Drupal should do the same.

I want to include a blogging install profile in Drupal core. A number of people use Fantastico and the like, and don't even know what FTP does or means. This is why a Drupal core install profile would help web n00bs.

Into the techie details

• It will set up two users
  1. Administrator. Gets the normal permissions of user #1
  2. The actual blogger. This user gets partial permissions, because all the permissions of user #1 can be overwhelming
• It sets up two content types, Blog Post, and Page.
• A taxonomy free tagging vocabulary
• Permissions (not yet :P)
• And that's it!
