Drupal

Wordpress? What? - You thought this blog was running on Drupal?

Well, you're right, it is running on Drupal, but my brother's blog is running Wordpress.

So another great bit of advice that I received from Mike at OpenConcept Consulting was to use the Path and Path Auto Module.

So I did just that. From now on, you shouldn't see any /blog/node/## urls on this site. After researching into this further, human readable urls improve your page ranking. Just what I need.

Searching around for ways to improve my page ranking with Google and other search engines, I ran across this article written by Mike Gifford at OpenConcept Consulting.

It's a great read, and give tons of useful information.

While looking into Tagadelic, a module for Drupal that gives you a tag cloud, I ran across this great post. It's on Webschuur (creators of Tagadelic).

Very interesting post about browser compliance with regards to CSS rendering.

They also list a few sites that will significantly help you test your website across different browsers. I just used Browsershots.org, and my current site design displays beautifully across all browsers...accept...IE 5.5. and I'm not concerned.

Read up, and become a better content creator by making sure that your site works on most of the worlds popular browsers.

This is a follow up to my previous entry re: Looking for colour - Drupal Themes. So, as you can see, I've found my colours and the site is all themed out - umm.. sort of.

When I started out to theme this site, I really didn't know where to start. I browsed through the Drupal.org Theme Archives quite a few times to see if I could find something that would fit what I had in mind. I also had a couple of ideas, and I thought I'd try things myself, but after tinkering around with the css for the garland theme, they weren't panning out very well.
