Drupal as a URL Shortener
Article by Jeff Robbins08.24.2010URL shorteners are the bane of the internet. However, for those of us who use Twitter on a regular basis, you know that 140 characters can be limiting. URLs can theoretically be 2,000 characters or more, but most are in the 40 to 80 character range. That's almost half your tweet! So we use URL shorteners to not only shorten t...

Tag it Up!
Article by Jerad Bitner07.26.2010Managing the code on your servers is a very important part of the release process. Over the years we've tried many different ways and have found the below process as a tried and true starting point, but here we'll focus on revision control (Subversion or Git) and the use of tags in each for any given project. Since many of our clients are large traffic websites and need multiple web heads, we also have some standard practices and scripts that we like to use on our projects to help keep the web h... -

Assembling Pages with Drupal
Article by David Burns07.17.2010As with many facets of Drupal, and coding in general, there are multiple ways to accomplish the same task. A good exmple of this was with the recent additions to the Lullabot team. The expanded team brought together three skilled developers and an amazing designer each with their own methods of site building.

New features in Drush 3
Article by James Sansbury06.30.2010So… Drush. Are you using it yet? If not get drushing!—or whatever you call it. If you're not familiar with it, Drush is a command line interface for Drupal sites. It's the bees knees, if you ask me. You can use it to enable/disable modules, run update.php, get a SQL dump of your site, and all sorts of other magically delicious things.
