Placeholders are in my opinion very useful fellows. They allow me to test layouts and designs without having to worry about making serious content. In this case, I needed something to try out the top menu thingies but did not want to spend time writing deep thoughts when I am particularly not in the mood.
In any case, thanks to my placeholder, I was able to test the menu. It did its job... and well.
Update to drupal 6.10 seems to have been successful. Now it is time to see all it can do.
Because of issues setting drupal at godaddy, both getting it to run manually *and* trying to use the one they provide (even though I met the requirements their interface said otherwise and, as a result, would not install it), I moved the site to another host provider. Let's see if this one works out. It is a bit more expensive but the features it provides -- ssh, unlimited mysql, imap -- may worth the cost. We will see. I will keep you posted... I hope.
I still need to put a decent look (or whatever it is called) on this site *and* see if I can save the stuff I did under mediawiki.
