Ah... meloves Drupal...  I've recently had the opportunity to develop a
couple of sites atop it.  I've been pretty surprised by how un-stock-Drupal
you can actually make things look with a little bit of CSS.  I'm still
fiddling, but my current project is the website I put together -- am still
putting together -- for my church: http://plazabaptistchurch.org/

Your search doesn't seem to return any results for things like "software" or
"linux" or "Drupal" or ... anything.  Have you setup your Drupal cron
process?  I was trying to search the site to see if you credited Drupal for
your site's "powered by" somewhere.  I hope you don't mind, but I went ahead
and ran the indexer for you (by visiting http://blue-gnu.biz/cron.php).  Ah!
  There it is, on the About the Publisher page: "Blue GNU uses Debian
GNU/Linux in the office, and to host our Drupal 5.1-driven website."

So, why should someone add blue-gnu's RSS feeds to his list of feed
subscriptions?  What makes your site not just another Slashdot?  I ask not
with skepticism, but because I think it might be something your site
visitors might like to know.

At any rate, good luck in this new venture, Don!
