Configuring a new Drupal site

After installation, a Drupal site needs to be configured. Some settings should be changed immediately, for security reasons. Others can be done at a later time.

I covered basic configuration in two of the Drupal workshops I presented at Tech Briefings at Stanford University in my guise as an instructor for Stanford IT Services Technology Training. My handouts are available online at Tech Briefing Workshops at DrupalTraining.stanford.edu:

1. Installing Drupal
2. Basic Configuration, Continued

A video of Basic Configuration, Continued is also available as part of the Tech Briefings Video Series.

Some of the details are Stanford specific, but the same principles apply generally.
