Welcome to www.DrupNewb.com, a site where I learn about building a Drupal site and tell all.

I started out by downloading the latest stable version of Drupal, which was 5.3, from www.Drupal.org to my laptop. Drupal comes in one big compressed file, which was named "drupal-5.3.tar.zip" when I downloaded it.

I used Winzip to uncompress the zip file into all the directories and files I would need to install Drupal. I uploaded the uncompressed files under the drupal-5.3 to the root directory for www.DrupNewb.com on my Lunarpages server.
