Drupal

After quite a hunt, we managed to find a fairly clean, responsive theme, that actually works. Granted that doesn't sound like it should be a difficult thing, but trust me.,, it is!

Many themes were not as advertised, not as pictured, or just didn't work at all. In the end a GPL based theme (thank you University of Indiana!) just needed some modifications to work. We also adjusted the theme to host CSS, JS, and fonts locally rather than pulling from their repository (not sure that was their intent, but they published it that way) 

.... may god have mercy on your soul!

(see update at the end)

I truly expected it would be easy to create a blog in the standard format with articles, tagged, to display in sections... and it was. I truly thought it would be easy to create a section page for each that had a header with some custom content to introduce that section... This was like pulling teeth!
