Exercise 2.1 (Site Configuration)
We will take some time to explore the Drupal Admin Interface. Our first Exercise will be to create some default settings for our Drupal Site. Throughout this class we will use a fictitious company known as ABC Corporation that assembles Phones. The Drupal site for ABC Corporation is intended as a tool to communicate with customers via blogs, provide product information, and to provide online support through a support forum. Product engineers may also post content to this site. To expedite the process, the content files for this exercise are available under ClassFiles/Chapter2/Exercise2.1/SiteConfiguration.txt
