Coulee Region ONLINE - The Saga Begins

Coulee Region ONLINE - The Saga Begins

Posted 09/29/2006 - 08:55 by Michelle

I have been wanting to create a local community site for around 10 years. Back in 1998, I made a Geocities club (later Yahoo Groups) as my first attempt. It failed pretty miserably, unfortunately, but I also didn't put the time into it that I should have. I was never happy with the limitations of using a free host and just couldn't get excited about it.

Since discovering Drupal, my interest has been rekindled. I had a couple other sites I needed to do first and finally have them to the point that they don't need my active attention. That frees up some of my very toddler-limited time to start making this dream a reality.

So why am I telling you this? Well, I thought it might be of interest to others to follow along. This is the first in what will be a series of articles about Coulee Region ONLINE (CRO). I'll tag them with both Drupal and CRO so you can find them easily. When the site is done, I'll go back and turn my articles into handbook pages. I expect this will be a long process, possibly a year or more. So don't expect me to post every day or even every week. But I will post eventually, so drop by now and then to see the progress.
