Unit 5: Contemplate

Well, I chose Contemplate as my self-selected Drupal module. According to the website, this module "was written to solve a need with the Content Construction Kit (CCK), where it had a tendency toward outputting content in a not-very-pretty way". Since I agree that the default Drupal presentation is really not attractive at all, I thought this module might help me to make some improvements. It also sounded like a good option because the website indicated that it "dovetails nicely with CCK" and required no additional modules. On the positive side, I was able to adjust previous directions and successfully download, unzip, and install the module! Yey me (or more accurately - yey Professor Fulton's detailed instructions)! On the downside, although the module description says it "makes it easy to rearrange fields" and other aspects of Drupal display, it seems to be "easy" only if you have a better understanding of php than I do. Or, maybe I am just doing something wrong, which is totally possible. Still, I feel confident now that I could explore the available modules in more detail and if I find one I like actually complete a successful installation, which I have to think is really one of the major goals here.
