Roll Your Own Drupal

The software DN uses is open source, meaning it's free. It's called Drupal; it's a PHP front end to a MySQL database. DN does not offer support for rolling your own. This is strictly a courtesy to those writers who have enough skill to set up their own sites.

These are the Drupal modules we use at DN:
