Drupal allows web site administrators to manage the their Drupal sites with a terrific backend administration consul. Webmasters are able to manage things like filtering content and managing comments and users to the Drupal site and what permissions those users will have on the Drupal site. You will also have the ability to get reports and monitor the web site.

As you get started in this section you will have several documentation guides within each of the categories below. Some of the guides will have terminology which you may not be completely familiar with. We recommend that you go to Drupal's Terminology Guide so that you can learn about Drupal terminology which you will need to understand as you read through all of Drupal's Guides. We also recommend that you save the Drupal Terminology Guide to your internet browser's favorites section so that you can quickly bring up that page for faster reference.

Below are the Site Building Guides' Sections, when you click on the link you will be taken to that section's page and will also see all of the sub-sections.
