Taxonomy lets you sort articles and freely configure display areas as needed. Drupal's Taxonomy feature isn't limited to a specific use case — unlike the typical category and tag functions used for article sorting, it offers considerably more flexibility.

I've been working on multilingual support and building the English site, so new articles have been on hold. Taking this chance for a short break, I've put together a quick rundown of the site's current state and what I've been working on.

The basic Drupal concepts needed for page creation ended up spanning several articles and getting hard to follow, so here's a summary to pull it all together.

With Drupal, unless you configure the Structure menu to match your site's goals alongside the Content menu for page creation, you can't break out of the default page layout and compose pages freely. This article pulls that together.

In the previous article we established that Content is the menu for creating pages. The menu covered in this article — Structure — is where you configure everything related to page composition and site structure.

The Content menu is where you create the pages and blocks you actually publish in Drupal. Combined with the Structure settings covered in a separate article, it forms the basis for creating pages the way you want. This article gives an overview of Drupal's foundational page-creation feature.

To help make sense of Drupal, I put together an overview of the admin console menu structure — covering all eight items under Administration and explaining the core Drupal concept that separates where you use features from where you configure them.

To assess whether the structure of my website is sound and to check for any display performance issues, I run the pages I built with Drupal through PageSpeed Insights — Google's publicly available performance evaluation tool — and take a look at the scores.

Version information for the Drupal Core, theme, and modules currently running on this website. The modules are focused on functionality — breadcrumbs, meta tags, reCAPTCHA, and external SMTP via AWS SES — with design left to Bootstrap5's defaults.

Over five articles I covered Amazon Lightsail — from AWS registration and IAM setup through Drupal installation, domain configuration, Amazon WorkMail, and the contact form with SES. This article brings them together as a summary, along with my overall impressions of AWS after using it for the first time.
