Website developers reading this will all agree - it can be quite a pain when a client is moving from some archaic static html site (or CMS) over to a dynamic site - especially when there is a lot of content to move over.

Well, to make things easier I suggest putting all the old content into a spreadsheet and then dumping it into the new Drupal site you've made for them... "What a second," you say, "how can I dump a bunch of content easily into my Drupal site?"  Well, all you need is the node import module folks; its a great tool that plays nicely with the CCK; so you can prepare a CSV file with all the content you want and then import each row as a node!  When you import the data the module asks which fields map to which column in the CSV so don't worry; if you're focused when doing imports, the whole process should be pretty clean and straight-forward!

With the advent of Drupal 5.x administrative features moved to the '/admin' URL (with clean URLs on of course), which is really nice because you can see, at a glance, pretty much all of the things you can do to administer your site.

However, until you become super familiar with how drupal's admin is laid out (Site Configuration vs. Site Building etc...), it can still be quite time consuming to look through the admin page... in comes a couple of 3rd party modules that can not only save you time but also make site administration more intuitive and fun!
