Great Job as Always!

Nicely done.
Your pod-casts are improving alone with the pace of the improvements in Drupal.
I was going to release a site using 4.73, but now I've got to look at whether it will work using 5.
Thanks for injecting some more uncertainty into my next week. :-)
Keep it up!

Besides the Drupal 5 overview, I also enjoyed the addition of prominent Drupal sites near the end. Good work...

I can finally theme Drupal!

You forgot to mention how easy it is to theme Drupal. I definitely noticed the difference in the ease of theming Drupal 5. Theming 4.7 was a nightmare! It seems that getting rid of drupal.css made life a bit easier. None-the-less, great work.

Great work...

Jeff,
Have you tried running PHP5 (under 10.4)? If so were you able to get the GD library installed/compiled?

Ciao

MAMP

On January 24th, 2007 jeff said:

I use MAMP. Super-easy to set-up and it takes care of making sure that everything is installed in the right places. XAMPP looks promising too, but I don't think it's got any GUI.

They should have taken

They should have taken backup from a third party service , not to loose the market. http://www.orgudantel.com örgü modelleri

Hi,

Great video by the way, have just finished installing Drupal 5 and video module. Strangely though when I try and play any video I get nothing and if I try and download, I get Page Not Found. Any thoughts?

Nice screencast!

The video tutorials

Hi. Great, Very helpful site. I was wondering if Someone could tell me how to go about creating such vidoes, is there a specific program for it?
I'm trying to create a video tour of my website (its not up yet...learning drupal), as an alternative to the flash tours (example:http://intro.sitekreator.com/ ) . So I basically need a walk through the site with voice over, just like you do here.
Also would appreciate any comments on the flash tours, I've been told its fairly easy to compile one but I was also told that flash is on its way out (which I find hard to beleive), Which is the best option?
Thank You
Y.S

onion?

On December 3rd, 2007 jim sharp (not verified) said:

I thought The Onion was a drupal site too...has that changed or did they just get overlooked as a 'prominent site'?
