Feb. 28, 2012 - PRLog -- Drupal is a free and Open Source Content Management System, which is written in PHP and is used as a back-end system for at least 1.5% of all websites worldwide ranging from personal blogs to corporate, political and government sites. It is also used for knowledge management and business collaboration.

Drupal 7 Theming Cookbook starts off with recipes that address the basics of Drupal's theme system, including regions and blocks, and then moves on to advanced topics such as creating a custom theme and using it to modify the layout and style of content.
