Site Structure

Building your Drupal based web site is using a few basic components:

• Blocks - Every piece of content is a "Block". Each different theme has customizable areas defined where a user can place blocks in the theme. Usually the most basic areas that all themes support are right and/or left columns, header, footer and content area. Some more advanced themes have more.
• Menus - The standard navigation bars that help the user get around the site. By default there are three but the user can create as many as are needed.
• Themes - Theme set the basic look and feel of the web site, many are able to be customized by setting the colors of text, links, backgrounds and more.

Drupal is very sophisticated in the use of these components and with them, allows the user to create a web site and manage the structure to a very granular level. Get to know how to manage each of these components to really understand the full power of Drupal.
