Blogs

Attractive design, lots of content, low price for users (less than $5 I think). Developed for iPhone, iPad and Android. Includes literary, historical, music-related, and scientific documents.

"Explore the Magna Carta, King James Bible and other historical documents with the British Library’s Treasures app. Featuring 100 of the most important documents in human history – including Shakespeare’s first folio, William Blake’s notebooks and illuminated maps."

Clean, minimal homepage with several "expansion" devices: accordion on left, collapsible top nav panel, very long right column. Clean approach: IU Libraries get top masthead, music library gets left nav.

Well thought-out architecture. Four user paths in rotating banner: Collections. Research Support, Classes, Guides & Tutorials, Computing and Tech Support. Homepage has links to portals too (Basic Science, Clinicians, Historical Library, Nursing...). Clean, striking, contemporary look and feel.

Just another content test. Just another content test. Just another content test. Just another content test. Just another content test. Just another content test.

I'm working on my second custom module. I'm using the Pakst book (Drupal Module Development). The new module will hook up to goodreads.com and pull in some book info and thumbnails.

I created a custom module "on this date" on my local test site, and added a custom style for the block it appeared in. I'm using the same theme here (my custom zensuba). I installed the custom module on this site too, and updated the css. No problem!

I just switched the theme to zensuba, my first zen subtheme. It went smoothly. The only issue is that I'm using zensuba on two sites: druful and orchard2 (local). Any changes I make affect both.

O'Reilly calls "Navigation" the main system menu. It's the left menu in the backend, and also is the default location for menu items created by modules. Primary: for prominent items like HOME and BLOG. Secondary: Usually less important/optional... TOS. FAQ. You can also create other menus. I made one for the wiki... to be displayed only on wiki pages.

I decided to upgrade this site using what I have learned from building Drupalemo. I'm going to add a database (DONE: orchestra jobs). Also explore WIKI features. Maybe a picture gallery? Play more with CSS (DONE A LITTLE: CSS Injector).
