Using Drupal to Deploy a Website

After much reading and searching, I've decided I'm going to be using Drupal to put together my latest website project.  While I usually code everything from scratch, I think this time, in order to get something going in the least amount of time, I'm going to use something "prepackaged".

The two major players in the world of open-source content management systems seem to be Joomla and Drupal.  I did some comparisons between the two, and Drupal, while perhaps not as "pretty" as Joomla, seems to support customization a lot more readily than Joomla.  Don't get me wrong, I'm sure you can customize Joomla to your heart's content, it's just that I didn't find information about customization in Joomla as readily as I did with Drupal.

So I'll post any and all that I learn working with Drupal, so perhaps my wanderings into these waters can teach you something, as well.
