Wow. This site truly is cursed. I have troubles here that I just don't have on any other sites I build. I suppose it's a combination of this being one of my earlier endeavors, as well as a guinea pig for all kinds of experiments. Oh, and I think the database's server once held a digital copy of the Nekronomicon.

Many recent nodes disappeared from the site. I have no explanation yet; I had not imported content or otherwise hacked the database, yet the nodes just aren't there.

I have an old, short post about testing blogging client MarsEdit with Drupal. A blogging client is a stand-alone application that posts to your blog or other website; the advantage is that you write and edit in a familiar word processor-like application, without having to log in to your site, navigate to content creation, and work with your site's text editing features.

Captcha's been treatin' me bad. Or so I thought. Looks like I was the one doing' Captcha wrong.

This site has lately been slammed by comment spam. That's okay, the Akismet module and service are flagging it as spam and keeping it off the site, but the "comment posted" moderator email notices are flowing in like an army ant column. (Hmm, I set Akismet to disable notices to the moderator, but they keep coming. Will have to solve that later.)

See, here's the funny part. After I went and wrote that big post on how much I love the What Would Seth Godin Do module, it stopped working for me. Only on Drupalace.com, not other sites on which I implemented it.

This is one of the oddest-named modules out there. Seth Godin is known to the Internet cognoscenti as a guru of modern marketing how-to, whether traditional biz or the latest "Web 2.0" developments. I read Seth's blog, and in his posts I always find some taken-for-granted business issue presented in a new light.

There's a new website (not affiliated with drupal.org) for finding and rating Drupal modules: http://drupalmodules.com/

If you're like me, you've salivated over that lo-o-o-ng list of user-contributed modules available for Drupal. "Wow, just think of the things I can do with this one... and this one..." And like me, you may have responded to warnings about modules with, "Yeah, I know, not all are guaranteed to work as advertised... but they'll work for me, right?"

Most Benevolent Reader GreenLED informs me that this site is showing major visual bugs in Internet Explorer. Aaargh, I had hoped I was immune to that curse...

I don't have a ready means to test my output in Internet Explorer, having no Windows computer. Alas, it looks like I'll need to use virtualization software in my upcoming MacBook Pro purchase, just for the purpose of testing sites on IE.

Got a couple new Easy Drupal Admin Manual pages online, under the heading Placing Content on Pages. As with other pages, it's too basic to be of much use to experienced Drupaltons, but may be helpful for some brand-new beginners.

Also doing a little rearrangement of some other pages. (Ah, the beauty of a CMS here: I can shuffle Book pages around, and not have to worry about the internal links. Thank you, blue drop-headed one.)

I recently posted a modest Drupal Admin Manual for the non-technical admin.

Sorry to would-be readers who saw Site Temporarily Unavailable error id: "bad_httpd_conf" for an inderminate number of hours. "Now what?", I wailed...

Fortunately, this was easy to fix. It's not a Drupal thing (whew!), as spidersilk points out here. It's a glitch chez Dreamhost, which the ISP addresses in their support wiki. Calling up and re-setting my domain hosting settings fixed things within minutes.
