Drupal 7 came out of Beta in 2011, and I'm using it on all my new sites now. While there's been a learning curve for me, adjusting to new methods of working with Drupal, renamed administrative tools, and different approaches to building and theming sites, my clients haven't missed a beat. I'd even say their user experience is better than before. After all, improving user experience was a big part of the new version of Drupal.

20Google Voice As Office Phone
Read More »I just recently activated a Google Voice number, and wondered how I can start using it as part of my work. It's free (for now), it's easy to setup, it's super cool how they allow you to browse and choose from dozens of phone numbers in your area code - but it's tied to the computer. Or so I thought.

08CSS3 in IE with PIE
Read More »Internet Explorer takes a lot of heat over the years (in the web building world) for its lack of support for CSS. It's gotten better with version 7 and version 8, but it still lacks support for the latest version of CSS (CSS 3). Some popular features that CSS3 introduces to browsers like Firefox and Safari and Chrome include rounded corners and drop shadows. These are both time-savers and filesize/bandwidth savers for web pages. Because of Internet Explorer's popularity, these new CSS3 rules have been largely ignored. Why use them if a majority of site visitors can't see them?
