I have tried and tried to upgrade this site to Drupal 7.... well today it worked. I was getting lots of database errors - what I think you need to be very careful of is ... being lucky ( that is reading / following the instructions)

This site was dormant for a long time I started it in Drupal 5 back before it was first released in production - So I upgraded it to D6 in November - hey no problem that worked fine. I was too lazy to update the original theme so set garland to default and no problems.

Another book in the drupal revolution! This book is unique in that it is really a "cookbook" for a teacher (of any kind) to setup a new drupal site to use to enhance their classes. The target audience is new or intermediate drupal users. Certainly the main focus of the book is education.

Every book has a target audience - this book's is pretty narrow is scope - people that want to understand how theming drupal 6 works. Ric Shreves hits the target! I am a mid level drupalite - not a ninja programmer or designer but not a beginner either. I found it very helpful.

We just keep getting better 18 people at this meeting at a really nice place ...
