My web technology site

Dark_Adder - June 23, 2009 - 16:39

After having my domain for 2 years without really doing something on it. I started my own "blog", if you can call it that, last week. You can find at PiBe.be. It's in english and i've allready written a couple of articles on it. Two are about Drupal, the first is about what you need when you write a module and the second is a preview to Drupal 7.

I completed my own theme today, before it was the Acquia theme. I started out with the Zen theme I changed it mostly with CSS. Since I have only started at it today, I can't really call it finished but it's a good theme to start with.

I've used Drupal since I have been using at my work for the Intranet for a year or 2. It was a steep learning curve but I think I've found my way in it.

The site is in Drupal 6, Drupal 5 wasn't really an option, because you have enough modules and support for it at this time.

The modules I have used are:

  • Addtoany: it's always nice if you have your links scattered across a couple of sites.
  • Admin menu: I worked a while without it, but it's so much handier if you got it.
  • Adsense: If you want to use Adsense, use this.
  • CCK: It's a have to have, but I'm not really using it at the moment.
  • FCKeditor: I hate type those ul's and li all the time...
  • Google Analytics:Speaks for itself
  • Mollom: I do not need spam!
  • Nodewords: Meta words do mather in SEO friendliness
  • Pathauto: Also good for SEO
  • Similarterms: It should keep people at your site
  • Sitemap: Again SEO
  • Views: OFF COURSE

I hope you enjoy my site, it's actually always a work in progress.
If you were wondering where I got the stupid name: It's the first to letters of my first name and then the first two of my Last name.
