Drupal 6.x

URL is an abbreviation of "Uniform Resource Locator" and is the page's address on the web. It is the "name" by which a browser identifies a page to display. In the example "Check us out at mysite.com." the part mysite.com is the URL for the home page of your web site. Users use URLs implicitly to locate content on the web.

Here is another article that deals with this subject.

Backup Process with phpMyAdmin

The screen shots here are from phpMyAdmin 2.11.4, which I have on my local computer. Web hosts using different versions should look similar. They certainly produce exchangeable results.

1. Log into phpMyAdmin on your server.
2. Select the name of your database - or your Drupal database if you have several databases.

More complete information can be found on the main cron page. If you can understand that page, then use it first.

Cron is an extremely important resource to your Drupal website setup. Many modules, including major system modules, utilize cron's power to do their jobs properly. Practically speaking, cron will alert you to security and other updates necessary to your site, provide a list of broken links and pages on your site, and perform other scheduled tasks (like back-ups).

You will see a lot of posts on the Drupal site about creating and using a Taxonomy (or "vocabulary" and "terms").

While it is true that the more content you have the more obvious the need for a taxonomy becomes, there is certainly no reason why a smaller website that has things to classify can't use it.

But to try to help you get a slightly better idea of how to use them, we'll use a case study here.

There are some problems we all seem to "find;" this section documents a few of them. [Remember to always search before posting on the forums.]

A lot of people don't realize that their browser home page does not have to be out on the web somewhere. It can be right on your computer; just create an HTML file which will reside on your computer and specify your browser homepage as that file.

Here's part of one admin's home page, with links to her Drupal sites' maintenance tasks (cPanel, FTP, etc.) included, so she doesn't have to keep looking them up.

She also included links to her test sites, so they are easy to get to as well.
