This time, a change of pace: I'll look back at all the past Checklist suggestions I undertook, implemented, or otherwise subjected myself to, and report on results.
Yes, results! That's what makes the world go round. Results put the spin in the globe, the worm in the tequila, the... uh... the drupe in Drupal...
Fixed: Google web search block
Posted August 29th, 2007 by DrupalaceRecap
As described earlier, I've placed many a Google web search block into Drupal sites, using Google AdSense for Search.

Drupal and the Blogging Starter Checklist, Part 3
Posted July 27th, 2007 by DrupalaceContinued from last time: a look at Rajesh Setty's Blogging Starter Checklist, with a particular eye toward applying its advice to blogging on a Drupal site.

For anyone pondering the difficult choice of hosting services, allow me to write a few words on those that I've used with Drupal. Some caveats for you to keep in mind:
Drupal Ace's Module Blacklist
They done me wrong.
Below are modules that sit not in my sites/all/modules directory, but in sites/all/modules_removed. That's a nice way of saying they don't play nice with my sites. They're getting the penalty box. They've been time out-ed.
