Beyond the basics

Bloggyland is designed to support many different types of website. Many changes to a Bloggyland site's functionality, appearance, and modes of interaction are easy to make via Bloggyland's configuration and extension mechanisms.

• Bloggyland is highly configurable. The administrator of a site can enable different capabilities and change many settings that affect the look and functionality of a site.
• Bloggyland has a system of privileges that makes it possible to create different user roles - for instance, member, staff, partner. Each type of user can see and do different things on the site.
• Bloggyland is designed to be easily extended through modules. A module is just a fancy term for additional software you can activate or "plug in" to your web site to provide extra features and functions. For example, you might activate the poll module to let users easily create web-based polls. Some modules, called "core" modules, come pre-packaged with every Bloggyland installation. Third party modules, called "contributed" modules, can be downloaded separately from the Bloggyland website and installed on your server.
• The look and feel of a Bloggyland site can be changed through different "themes". As with modules, there are both core and contributed themes.

Hence, what you see on a particular Bloggyland site, and what you can do there, depends to a high degree on what the site administrator(s) have chosen to present. If you require more in-depth information about changing the way in which information is presented or how its appearance may be configured, please see the Administrator's guide at http://drupal.org/handbook and the Bloggyland forums.
