General Drupal

So Leo Laporte (http://leoville.com/) has become a fanboy of sorts of Squarepace (http://www.squarespace.com/), they are one of his big sponsors now and many of his colleagues have jumped ship from platforms such as wordpress over to Squarespace.

So what is Squarespace? Basically it is a web-based content management website authoring platform that includes hosting; in short it's an easy way to make pretty and functional websites.

When we try to deselect menu items, the boxes won't uncheck after you hit save and this error pops up:

Unresponsive Script

A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. you can stop the script now, or you cna continue to see if the script will complete. Script:
http://mysite.com/misc/jquery.js?z:13

And a checkbox to either continue or stop the script.

We got this earlier with moving blocks but it seems to have resolved.

We're stuck now so immediate help would be greatly appreciated!

So Drupal is notorious for its "learning curve" and the mind-bending endeavor that is 'learning Drupal.'

But is it really THAT hard?

Firstly, this question is difficult to evaluate because so many different kinds of people come to Drupal from so many different levels and types of experience.

You have hardcore experienced PHP developers adopting Drupal for the first time, novices that are deciding to move from Wordpress, complete noobs who heard the word Drupal and became psychotically obsessed with it.

Okay, you'll probably get tired of me pushing Geeks and God but seriously they have some of the best Drupal-related podcasts and really it doesn't require a bible and isn't trying to convert you.

Going back over some of their older podcasts I ran across this one from August 18, 2008.

It provides a good overview of where Drupal core development is headed, particularly related to selecting modules for your Drupal site.

This is a must listen!
