A while ago, I made a site called [...]. Since I had already made a lot of sites in Drupal, I wanted to continue with this CMS. Although other choices might have seemed more "out-of-the-box" dating / social networking solutions, Drupal's flexibility convinced me to give it a try. I spent a lot of time on this first social networking site. It seemed that there was no easy way to create advanced profiles with Drupal. Although the Content Profile Module gave me more options, it also raised a few questions: how to get the photo gallery on the profile, and so on...
After spending a lot of time on forums, I was very proud to have found a satisfying approach that did not require any custom modules or coding. I started thinking that I wanted to share this with other people who were searching.
I started a new site, this time in Drupal 6, and documented each step in the process. This step by step guide became the book. It is a fairly fast paced book, and will serve anyone from the motivated beginner to the more experienced Drupal user. The site eventually became [...], which is a community for mostly people who have read the book and are helping each other out.
