I just completed upgrading this website to Drupal 6.

The procedure went fine, even if I had to install some "still in development" modules. Notably the image module still doesn't have a stable 6.x version.

As the theme I'm using is a custom one created by myself, I also needed to convert it from 5.x to 6.x. The conversion has been pretty simple, just some minor changes as my theme is pretty simple.

With the theme upgrade I also did some minor tweaks to the theme. I revised the header making it a little bit more usable: I'm interested in hearing what you think about it.

So.. it seems that everything went fine. Anyway, if you find any problem with this site, please let me know. Thanks!

UPDATE August 2009: this article is pretty old now. During the past years there have been new stuff coming out, most notably Mollom. I'm currently using it as a spam filtering tool and it's working great. Please take the following consideration as pretty outdated.

During the past weeks this site has been targeted by some bots which posted spam comments.

As soon as the spam comments appeared I started deleting them using Drupal comments administration however, as a spam comment was received every 2-3 hours, this was not an affordable way to keep my website spam free.

After more than one year of (discontinued) development I finally finished this website..

Obviously there is still lot to do however I hope to finalize this website soon!
