I’ve always been a fan of Drupal as a CMS. It’s powerful, flexible, and gives someone with a programming background like mine the freedom to build feature-rich websites with relatively little custom code. While the learning curve can feel steep at first, the payoff is worth it—the platform can do just about anything you need with the right configuration.
One of the things I enjoy most is exploring new modules. Recently, I installed the Cumulus module, which you can see running on the left side of this page under Popular Content. The module takes the vocabulary tags used across my site, counts how frequently they appear, and displays them in a rotating 3D tag cloud. It’s visually engaging, playful, and a great way to navigate content.
If you enjoy experimenting with tools and building things yourself, I highly recommend giving Drupal a try. Start with a simple site, explore modules like Cumulus, and before long you’ll find yourself adding more features just to see what you can create. It’s a powerful platform—and a surprisingly fun creative outlet.
