In the first part of Creating a web site using Drupal, I showed you how I installed Drupal at http://www.scriptinstall4free.com/drupal/. In the screencast below, I perform the following tasks:

• I let Drupal create a directory by the name files which will house logos, avatars and other media.
• I then enabled Clean URLs.
• I entered the site information namely: Name, E-mail address, Slogan, Mission
• I disabled the default theme’s logo.
• I added a couple of links at the top right where it reads Edit Primary Links.
• I enabled the Contact and Search modules.
• I created a vocabulary called Categories and created my site categories. Drupal allows for hierarchical child categories.

In the next part, I’ll show you how to add the categories to the left sidebar, add a link to the contact form at the top right, adding content and more.
