module review

"Twitter me this, twitter me that," can anyone listen to or read any Internet media news and not hear about Twitter? Not likely these days. It seems that celebrity and competition has driven Twitter to become that latest Internet fad.

Wait as second? A fad? Well, only time will tell if that's the case. Currently (to me at least), it seems like Twitter is yet another channel for social communication between multiple parties. If you think in terms of RSS, with a 140 character limit - (some times it's better if some people talk less*) -, you simply have the same selective personal input with some useful conventions providing some uniquely new levels of information access.

Metrics: Boy, do we like measuring things! Most everything in our lives is captured all around us, from the very day we are born. The very first thing they took from me was my lbs and inches and the time I popped out. This was before I even had a name.

So, I guess, it goes without saying (watch, I'll say it). We like to measure things (there, I said it). How about web traffic? Well, we'll capture that too! It used to be that you needed to install your own scripts - and - in 'em pioneering days of the 'ole web, you'd write your own Perl script to parse the 'ole web log.

When you're seeking a solution to consistently sized images for your Drupal site, you'll eventually end up finding your way to ImageCache. Acquia Drupal includes the module as part of its default install, which speaks to the utility of this powerful module.

The problem, however, is getting your head around how it works and integrating it into your site. In this video, I showcase the start of my own implementation of using ImageCache. This means I cover, from start to finish, the setup and integration of ImageCache and its supporting modules.

How do you keep anonymous visitors coming back to your Drupal site? In the ideal world, everyone who visits your site should join in and become a member right? Unlikely.

"What's the quickest way to get anonymous commenting my Drupal website?" you ask?

One of the first modules you'll want to install into ANY drupal site is Pathauto.
