[Nfb-web] A couple Drupal questions

[Arnold Bailey]

Mike,

Super work! Thanks for all the work. I'm all set to start adding content. I
understand that we are working through a new process. You've done a very
nice initial setup that we can now build upon.

Also, thanks to the others for their documentation posts. I think I found a
couple sites that will get me thinking about how to structure the book.

Arnold
