More than a year ago, I was agitating for a move to Drupal 7
for all the blogging developers. As is rather obvious now, Drupal 7 was
not in a state then for public websites. There was outstanding security
issues, no upgrade path, lots of API changes to be made, etc.

However, since that has all been resolved now, I figured it was about
time I moved my blog over. I have obviously been preparing for this for
some time, as I will get back to in later blog posts.

However, I would once again like to encourage fellow developers to
experiment with Drupal 7. The process of building a real, public-facing
website with Drupal 7 so soon in the process have taught me a lot of
Drupals innards, and helped me uncover a fair number of bugs in Drupal
core and contributed modules that have since been fixed.

As you can also see in the 7.0 beta 1 accouncement, there is a
lot to be exited about, and as we have entered the beta-phase, upgrades
will be supported from now on, so the site you create with beta 1 should
be upgradable all the way to the final release.

So if you can spare the time to fiddle with it, I highly recommend it.
It is an educative challenge – enjoy :)
