Some optional configuration tasks are shown below. For more information, please refer to the built-in help section, or the online Drupal handbooks.

Choose a different design

Start by changing the colors of the default theme. To change the fundamental "look and feel" of your website, visit the themes section and choose a theme from one of the many themes available out-of-the-box.

Many additional Drupal 6.x compatible themes are available on Drupal.org in the Drupal themes download section.

Configure the front page

The default front page is a listing of all content marked as Promoted to front page. You can manage your content from the content administration page. You can also designate, for example, an item of content you have created as the front page. See the site information settings page to configure the default front page path. You can also add a slogan and mission statement to make the site your own.
