Hi We will see today how to install Drupal and CiviCRM : 1. Installing Drupal - a. Create the database using phpmyadmin ( give access for everything ) b. Download the Drupal tar / zip file from drupal.org c. Extract the same in the htdocs (windows) or public_html(linux) folder. d. Rename the extracted folder to desired name like demo e. In the demo folder go to directory demo/sites/default folder and create copy of default.settings.php to settings.php f. Once this is done.

There is always confusion for selecting the theme according to requirements while creating any drupal site. Obviously, the theme selection depends on the region and blocks present in the sample html or psd which we have available. But not only these are the important aspects. There are lot more things nowadays which we have to consider while creating any Drupal theme. Even if its from scratch or if we take any theme directly from Drupal.org.
