Day three already… time flies.

Thursday, Day two. I didn’t do much today in terms of sessions, but I’d spoken to Kieran Lal of Acquia the day before regarding a voluntary interview… more on that in a tick.

Day one of the Drupal Con in Szeged, Hungary. Morten and I made the initial keynote speech by Dries & Co. Well, almost. We were in the door about 4 seconds, there was some clapping, and we left. Couldn’t tell you why we were so late… ;)

Just a quick tip for an extra, more accessible theming variable.

Today I’m just demonstrating a few simple theme adjustments to comments.

A few snippets of theme code to whip your Drupal comments into shape. Make them more SEO'd, readable and how you want them.

This snippet of code gives a brief example of how to rewrite components of the $links variable to make them prettier :) Specifically, here I’m overwriting the link generated by the Forward

Currently there are three options for creating error pages in the Drupal system, that I know of. I’m going to show here which I think is the best, for reasons of usability, performance and general webmaster sanity.

Quite frequently I’ve been asked about putting images into site “sections”, depending on path or menu trail. Look up, that “Blog” image is what I’m talking about. It’s on all blog related pages.

Yesterday afternoon, I popped my head onto the Drupal IRC channels, and suddenly everything went a bit strange…

I sometimes run into people on the Drupal IRC channels that have a theming issue they just can’t fathom – dysfunctional CSS. Some poor guy has overridden a core CSS class, but his styles just don’t work.
