Site visitors seeing your ugly error messages on the screen (along with details of your Drupal installation path)? Once your site goes from dev to launch, you probably want to have errors recorded in the log but not splashed across the screen. Head to the handy Error Reporting settings found at admin/settings/error-reporting.
Free Aliases!
Below are useful built-in aliases, ready to take you to important pages. Just type the alias into your browser's address bar, after <your site domain>.
Drupal aliases
The following aliases come courtesy of Drupal:
User login page
The first page you need as an administrator!
/user
Registered user pages
A list offering links to each individual user page:
/profile
You can also get to individual user pages by user number. The chief "ID 1" administrator's page is at /user/1; later users have later numbers.
/user/1, /user/2, /user/3, etc.
Main Administer page
The all-important page containing links to all the forms you need to manage your site.
/admin
Contact form
Here's a ready-made contact form for visitors, if your site is set up to use it.
/contact
Forums
Your site's main Forums page, if the site is set up to use Drupal's built-in forum capabilities.
/forum
Polls
Your site's main Polls page, if the site is set up to use Drupal's built-in poll capabilities.

Blogs
All blogs on the site.

/node/1, /node/2, /node/3, etc.
