Updated to Drupal 6.22

Sat, 11/12/2011 - 11:10 — admin

I have to say that updating this time was a major pain due to the slowness of the servers in responding to copy and move commands. Ugh. It's done, but I can't guarantee everything works. Oh well.

New Home for a Lonely Site

Wed, 06/09/2010 - 08:04 — admin

Well, my two years with hosting service IPower are up. I decided not to renew as their servers move pretty slow.

So I moved to ANHosting, recommended by Blamcast.net, which is where I hosted my mother-in-law's website, Creative Benefit Strategies.

I have to say, their servers are considerably faster. I hope you agree.

Of course, since I'm pretty much the only one who comes to this site, I guess the improvement will have little impact.

Site Upgrade: Drupal 6.10

Thank me later.

Site Improvement: WYSIWYG

I've installed the FCKEDITOR module that allows you to do what-you-see-is-what-you-get editing -- basically, you can add bold, italics, tables, make stuff headings and the like when making pages or adding blog entries.

There you go. One more thing that no one will use.

Site Improvement: Paths That Make Sense

Wed, 12/10/2008 - 08:44 — admin

As a second consequence of working on Drupal at the day job, site requirements pushed me into fixing up the URLs of the various pages on the site. In fact, I ended up finding a module for Drupal that will make the URLs fancy automagically.

It's called the Pathauto module -- change the PATH AUTOmatically.

Here's what it did. Here's a typical URL from the site:

http://parkspages.com/node/3

Doesn't tell you anything, does it?

Here's how Pathauto changes it and makes it much more useful:
