AuthorRank: Google Have you heard of Pushtape?  Don't worry me neither.  But after this blog post we will definitely be sure if its a Drupal yay or nay.  The reason I chose this Installation profile as the theme for my post is simple, to make sites for bands in your community is an easy way to get your foot in the web development scene if you are just starting out.  All band sites basically works in the same way which means that you can just duplicate your site structure every time. OK so here we go. Pushtape is a new Installation Profile for Drupal 7 that focuses on musicians, it comes supplied with a discography framework, you can very easily post new events like shows, there is a custom photo gallery where you can upload multiple photos as a set and of course a nice looking news type blog for all those quick updates. The installation was really easy, clean, very well customized and quick. I use WebMatr...

AuthorRank: Google (There is a first part to this whole thing if you click here) Dum Dum Dum... Welcome back, after much persuasion and 10 bucks we are back for the real thing. S: Thank you for being here Heinrich. H: No worries. S:  How long have you been developing sites with Drupal? H: Well Drupal not so long, maybe started a year ago. S: Why did you decide to change from coding to a CMS? H: Well to be honest, anyone not using a Content Managing System these days are either a hacker or just      has way to much time on there hands.  The HTML wiz kids are matched everyday all the way by people      using systems like Drupal, It's free, very powerful and has an amazing community backing it.

H: You know when you get a new cellphone and its already charged?  But it's only charged a little bit?  If     y...

Probably the best SEO and online marketing book for beginners.   Buy this book now! About 6 months ago I was wondering around aimlessly on the internet trying to figure out how to start my own online marketing campaign, it was really hard finding the right articles to read, to my frustration they all said the same thing over and over again, I was a total noob, and the masters of SEO wasn't going to be much help.  It was hard getting all these new terms, what they meant and how one was suppose to use them, looking at google analytics made my eyes hurt and webmaster tools almost made me pass out,  I had no idea what keywords and key phrases were, what country meta tags came from and if we were destined to be friends at all. Then out of the blue an Angel( www.amazon.com ) saw my suffering and handed me a book that would open my eyes forever. I promise you, that this book will help even the most computer illiterate person out there get to a point ...

Browsing Drupal.org for modules and testing them out is probably one of my favorite work past times. (I hope my boss doesn't read this post) Drupal in itself is an amazing CMS but because of the amazing community backing it up makes Drupal by far the best CMS out there. Here is my top 10 favorite modules of the month countdown list: 10.  Tribune - Download This little module came out of no where and brightened my day as I was working on a new website for a client.  It's like a live posting chat room that you can add into a view, when fully installed this module can show user location, flag posts, you can even show user avatars and post smileys like this :P.  It was no hassle to install and I can't wait to use this on a project. 9.  Vote up/down -  Download If you are looking to make a user vote site like the famous www.reddit.com site, this is your module.  On its own its a pretty standard, yet powerful voting system you can impl...
