Executive Summary (This is a document excerpt)

Drupal provides an open source solution for integrating blogging into an overall community or content site. That integration allows authors to take traditional blog publishing tools and extend them into discussion boards, wikis, and traditional Web pages. Drupal's biggest disadvantage is that its interfaces are difficult to configure and use, although there is a large user community supporting the platform. Companies should use Drupal if they have open source experience and want blogs to be an integrated part of a publishing and community platform.
