Do you really need A WebSite? If you plan to market both online and offline the answer to that question is an emphatic yes. The next question is should you use someone else’s system or your own? I believe this is where most people run into trouble. Using someone else’s [...]

Ninety-nine percent of the time installing a security update for Drupal 6 is a painless process, it just works. Not this time. At this point in time I have to say installing Ctools 6.x-1.4 and Panels 6.x-3.4 will break your site and evidently the maintainers do not care at all. [...]

At the beginning of this month I wrote a post about Fusion or AdaptiveTheme and the Drupal 6 theme AT Koda. What I liked about the original design done by Kodamera and ported to Drupal by Adaptivethemes was the clean lines. In many ways it looked a lot like one [...]

Sometimes I think I know just enough about Drupal to be dangerous. In the next few weeks I’ll be posting a review on Drupal 6 Attachement Views by J. Ayen Green via PACKT publishing. I’ve played with the views module and I know I’ve just scratched the surface yet I [...]

For the past month I’ve been looking at both of the Drupal Starter themes Fusion and Adaptivetheme. And, I should say I still have more questions than answers. I’ve been doing my research carefully as I want to move one of my websites, over 500+pages to Drupal. What I originally [...]

Technology in the form of social media has opened up a whole new world. As earthquakes rocked Haiti and early this morning Chile, news organizations are getting their news from citizen reporters.
The world today is a much smaller place, compared to just a few years ago. And, when compared to the early 1900′s well there is just no comparison.
Twitter is a phenomenal tool when it comes to disseminating information quickly. When coupled with all the support services for uploading pictures, we can see first hand the devastation…

Why does anyone blog? Usually, it is because we have something to say and we want to share it with the world. Everyone would love to have their content syndicated, right?
Today many blog websites content is being syndicated. But not in the way they would like for it to happen. We write simply because we want people to visit our sites.
So what happens when low-life degenerate decides to scrap your content, without providing at the least a back link to the original post?

Ok so you know how when you get in a rush, and you install a Drupal Module update assuming everything will be ok.
If we only lived in a perfect world right.
The other day I updated the latest Drupal 6.x Mollom module release 1.11 on three different sites.
It was running late so I really didn’t check my work and ensure that everything was as it should be…
With most module updates if something is not working it’s not that serious and neither was this update, unless…

Over the past two days I spent quite a few hours trying to figure out why the update for Backup and Migrate 2.2 would not save to the scheduled folder.
Since I had two sites and it was only occurring on one of them I knew it was not the module itself but more likely a permissions issue. This is where I spent most of my time, verifying the various folders permissions, ownership etc…
The Drupal module Backup and Migrate places an htaccess file in each of the folders, manual and scheduled, with:

Back in October 2008 I wrote a post about Joe Lara a real plumber from Southern California who over night literally had his business destroyed.
Google to this day shows over 1,250,000 million pages that have that phrase in a blog post or web page. Most of them vicious attacks against someone whom the media gave the title to.
Yet, these attacks affected so many real plumbers. Since it has been quite awhile or at least it seems like it, I thought I would look at how the search engine rankings had changed for Joe.
