It's hard to believe that a year has already passed since my first introduction to Drupal.

DrupalCon Toronto marks my one year anniversary, give or take, working with the CMS. A year ago we were evaluating different options for the redesign of the primary company website and Drupal was near the top of the list. I attended DrupalCamp Toronto then to try and get a first leg up on the system and see if it would really meet our needs. It did, without a doubt, so for the last year I've had fun picking Drupal apart and putting it back together in various ways.
