After becoming oriented with Drupal's GUI, I am learning the development cycle and workflow of the system through LinkedIn's Drupal admin course.

I have learned:

  • How to properly place hyperlinks to local nodes (Drupal web documents) into menus. (Use the option provided while creating/editing a piece of content.)

The advantage to installing Drupal using composer is that you can easily install other components, libraries, and themes which are designed to be installed using composer.

Installation Instructions:
Using your terminal, navigate to the directory that you are using to store your Drupal projects, and then run the following command:

For Drupal 9
composer create-project drupal/recommended-project:9.5.0 project_name

For Drupal 10
composer create-project drupal/recommended-project project_name

To create your first Drupal 9 theme, I recommend using the 9-step guide laid out by specbee, with a single edit to make the project work properly. On step 7, we are told to create templates/system directories, and create a page.html.twig file within the system subdirectory. This will lead to an error without feedback from the program, and your theme will not display properly.

A note on this site's development and my schedule...

I have been busy for the past week with job interviews, and I have more interviews this upcoming week, including a second phase interview. This means that I will have to spend time preparing for it, rather than working on this site. Despite this, or any other developments, I will continue building this site, as the job I would like is centered around using Drupal.
