Summary

We have looked into what social networking is, looked at various social networking concepts, and also why we may wish to create a social network. We then looked at Drupal and are now aware of what it is and how it can be used as a social networking platform. Finally, we installed Drupal onto our local development environment, examined the configuration options available, and made some basic configuration changes to the default Drupal installation.

The next stage is to start preparing our site to be a social network!
