Drupal: How can you make Drupal 6.x look and feel like a social networking site (i.e. ning.com)? Any suggestions?

Unless you can find a pre-built template build your own. Quite a few Drupal books available in general but these might help for theming. "Drupal 6 Themes" Packt Publishing "Front End Drupal designing, theming, scripting" Prentice Hall.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
