The Drupal community has just announced the release of Drupal 5, the latest and most impressive upgrade to date. Lots of hard work and sleepless nights have led to loads of new features, increased usability, and a level of polish unparalleled in the world of Open Source software.

Bryght has been busy too! In addition to contributing to the Drupal 5 release, we have upgraded our own service so now anyone can create their own Drupal 5 site, with the push of a button. But that's not all! We're also cutting our prices in half, from $40 to only $20/month.

• Try out the latest, most impressive upgrade to the Drupal CMS ever, free for 30 days.
• Take advantage of Bryght's lower pricing and continue using the power of Drupal for only $40 $20/month!
• Get the security and convenience of a fully hosted service with a variety of add-on features. No installation headaches, no worries about security patches, no servers to worry about, just good clean Drupal 5 fun.

This latest release of Drupal introduced the concept of 'install profiles', a way to bundle a set of modules and default settings together. By signing up for a Bryght site, you will be using our Bryght Basic install profile. Some of the included features in Bryght's Drupal 5 "Basic" hosted service are:

• Sprinklings of delicious AJAX using the powerful jQuery library
• The beautiful new colour-changing Garland theme enhanced with the ability to add your own logo and custom CSS
• Bryght guy Steven's "Menu Scout" module to make finding admin functions easier (see the screencast)
• The power of Views and CCK, letting you build custom data structures and reports.

If you need production Drupal hosting with full control, we've got advanced Virtual Private Server hosting as well.

This is still a Drupal 5 preview release from Bryght, and we will be rolling out lots of new features in the weeks and months to come. Stay tuned for further announcements, and check out support.bryght.com for any questions you may have.
