Drupal

I'm always the first to admit when I make a mistake. And hoo boy, did I ever make one here. I recently created a website for a friend using Drupal. This friend didn't use the site for a few weeks, and when she went to make a blog posting, we discovered that the site had been overrun with comments advertising Viagra, Paxil, Tamiful, "h5n1" masks, and kamagra jelly gel (whatever that is). Overrun to the tune of 48,495 comments in the span of 1 month, to be exact. Yikes!

One of the great features of Wordpress is that you can set up your site to send an email every time a comment needs approval. Drupal doesn't come with this functionality out of the box, but we're going to show you how to do it yourself using the module Workflow-ng and some basic user configurations.

We here at Two Trees media are big fans of Drupal, an über-powerful open source content management system. But it's really more than a CMS; it can be configured as an e-commerce platform, blog back-end, project collaboration tool, social networking software, or pretty much anything you can hope a website can do.
