I am well on the way to understanding how Drupal works and now I have an alumni Drupal ninja, Mark DeMayo, helping me out.

So far, I have set up most of the Drupal modules and administrative stuff on the back-end of the site. Remy has just informed me that I will be able to migrate my site soon to RIT's servers which might make administration easier (I hope).

Regarding the aesthetics of the site, I have been successful in creating a 3x3 grid view of comments and blog posts. I'm still trying to get this to display properly for the site itself, but it works in my administrative preview just fine. I have also installed a module for rating comments on a 5 star scale. This will help me in the future with moving comments around on the page based on popularity.

Speaking of rating and popularity, Mark and I figured we will be able to use jQuery for this function and you will be able to see this happen on the page making it very sticky.
