Drupal Newbies and Contributed Modules

Drupal iconThe Newbie Issue

I received an interesting e-mail the other day through the contact form at my site regarding the social bookmarking "features" I have for my posts.  The questions asked to me are quite common among new users of any Web content management system.  While the questions in this particular e-mail I received would be more appropriate to be asked and answered in the forums at Drupal.org, there were some things in the message I felt the need to address though my blog.

The first e-mail went like this:
I am new to Drupal publishing, and I noticed your "Bookmark/Search this post with: Delicious Digg Google Yahoo Technorati Icerocket " feature. How did you code that? Or- where could I find out how to do that? I have searched Drupal.org but find it frustrating to search, and searching for modules is so frustrating I gave up. Scrolling through the categories is about the best I could do. I found the Submit to Digg one- but your system seems so much more simple.
The second e-mail though is what caught my attention and depending on interpretation somewhat alarmed me.
hi - right after I wrote my note I looked at your code a little harder and figured it out! sorry for the bother!
For the record in order to get those links to the various social bookmarking sites, I use the service links module, a Drupal contributed module.  What concerned me about the e-mail is that when the writer looked at the source code of my web page, I'm not sure if he concluded the correct module to use with his CMS or how to "hard code" the links manually into his site.  Either way,  new users of Drupal tend to make things more difficult on themselves then need be.  This is my attempt to simplify things for those of you for those just trying out Drupal for the first time and are having a hard time hunting down those extra features.

Bryght: Best practices for maintaining Drupal installs

Submitted by Bryan on September 15, 2006 - 7:23am

"I finally got around to stopping by the IBM developerworks forums and leaving some feedback for the folks that are doing the great series of articles on developing a site with Drupal. They're diving all the way down into developing modules, including explaining Drupal's hook system, which is great to see... So, that little post about keeping all modules in your local "sites" folder is just the start of best practices. Pretty much every Drupal install I work with is multi-site."
