Artisteer program
Artisteer is a very good program allows to create sites in several very easy steps.
It supports Blogger, Joomla, WordPress , DotNetNuke and Drupal Content management system themes and Html and ASP web developer templates.
When you run the program as a first step choose where you build the site, for example Drupal. As a second step choose template of your site by clicking on the left top button “Suggest Design”.
You can play with placement slogan on the header, with structure of the site, with block, buttons separately, but most easy to click on the button “Suggest Design” till you find structure of the site you like most.
Now click on palette button (top left corner) to save all files on your computer.
Choose Export -> Drupal Theme, choose place where you save all files in the Path text box, give name of your project in the Name text box and click on Export button. That’s all – all files you need are already on your computer.
Go to sitesallthemesyourname folder and change file named yourname.info
Write ; $Id: youdomain.com $ in the first row – I’m doing it but maybe it’s not so necessary.
Add link to Youtube clip
I’ve found program where you can add your link to youtube clips
