Still flailing around a little in Drupal
I still like Drupal -- don't get me wrong. It's just that I'm not used to so many features being optional. Like, Friday night I realized I hadn't approved a bunch of comments. I suppose I expected I'd hear in e-mail that comments had been submitted.
When I went to look for how to turn on that feature, I learned that it's a separate module. I've used open source, community-developed LAMP apps before where it took a while to intergrate contributed add-ons. But, I don't know. Doesn't notification seem like kind of a basic thing? It's kind of ordering a new car (does anybody do that anymore?) and finding out the windshield wipers are optional.
Hopefully it won't be too hard to install.
Later... See my talking-to-myself comments. It was. Hard. Well, harder than it should have to be.
