At this months Florida Drupal meetings a lot of questions came up about how we create websites. Now these questions weren't really about the technical aspects of creating the site, they were more about the planning and the high level steps we take.

Drupal modules & themes, where should they go to make upgrading easy?
At the last Florida Drupal meeting one of the attendees (sorry, I'm horrible with names) asked why Drupal was so difficult to upgrade. At first we were a bit confused since we thought Drupal was easy to upgrade but we later found out that the user was storing his modules in /modules and themes in /themes so every time he wiped out his Drupal installation he had to re-install all of the files for his modules/themes. While it sounds like this is uncommon, I can assure you, it's quite common for new (and some experienced) users to make this mistake.
