Some friend told me to share my experience using drupal. They think drupal very difficult, not like other CMS (Content Management System). Do drupal so difficult and complicated?
I'll try to write simple tutorial about drupal, hopefully it could help you to learn. If you are reading drupal handbook perhaps you'll get confused, so many terms and words that we don't understand.

I have another sites, www.erakomputer.com, and it was build using Drupal 6.2. I thought Drupal 6 must be better than the previous versions so I decided to use it. But that's wrong -- perhaps until right now,  we can't find contributed modules in Drupal 6 as much as in Drupal 5. For example adsense modules. Until today in Drupal site, adsense modules only available for drupal 4 and 5.

So, I decided to use a block and put manually my adsense code there.

Administrator >> Site building >> Blocks >> Add Block

Then activate the block. But it not working. The adsense code show as a text in a block.
