Drupal

Time for a change!

Did you wonder if I was ever going to post again? Well it has been a while but I am now ready to get back on the wagon. For those that have read my blog in the past you have probably noticed a few changes to the site in the last couple of months. I have totally rebuilt my site on Drupal 6 and am now ready to get on with my new life. This post is mainly to bring folks up to date on what I am up to since I left my previous district last May and to describe where I hope that I am headed.

Organizing Your Website Content: Drupal Views

More and more schools are moving to content management systems (CMS) to more easily manage their websites. While many are going with propietary solutions like Schoolwires, my district decided to use Drupal.

Tweets from Drupal Blog

Okay, I am spending way too much time working on this Drupal blog thing.  Now I am seeing if Drupal will actually send a tweet to my Twitter account.  Do I really want to do this?  Could be a bit annoying for those that follow me, but probably not too much since my blogging record has been so poor.  So don't hold your breath for too long waiting for me to post.  You might turn blue and pass out.

Drupal as a Blog Tool

Well I am now back up and running.  My host has been down for the last hour so I have been researching more things about Open Source in the k12 space.  But, that is not what this post is about.  This post is all about what I have done to get blogs setup and running on this installation of Drupal.  It has been interesting to take a look at all of the other modules that are available to make your blog more, I hate to say it, blog like.  So here are the modules I currently have installed specifically to augment my Drupal blog.
