Well I finally got around to upgrading to Drupal 6. Luckily everything went very smooth. While I was upgrading I also began consolidating all my different Drupal sites into a mult-site configuration. I am very much enjoying this as I don't have to update each site individually. I'll let you know how it goes in the long run. We'll see if its as much of a time saver as I think it is.

I also started using some of the new Drupal 6 modules so I should be able to include some very handy tutorials very soon.

Lastly with the upgrade I ended up leaving my Drupal 6 install with the default Garland theme. I will hopefully be changing this very soon, but I figured the first step was to get all my content up and running and then I would worry about the niceties. If anyone has any suggestions as to what theme they thing I should use going forward let me know. I'm hoping to not have to create a brand new theme - although I would be up for customizing things a bit if need be.

Managing Drupal with Puppet

I recently went through the same upgrade process and took the pain of consolidating everything into a multisite! I managed to save a fair amount of effort using Drush, and then decided to go further and automate the whole Drupal management process with Puppet and write up a tutorial.

If you've not used Puppet it's really worth a look, especially if you have many sites to manage. Here's the article: Puppet and Drupal
