I am a big fan of iTunes when it comes to music, and a big fan of Amazon when it comes to shopping… I stumpled across this little bit of information earlier and wanted to share with anybody who was interested:
Amazon if offering 770 FREE MP3’s for download. Check it out here
Let me know what you think of the freebies
Been goofing around with a different look for this blog, and I think I like this one. What do you think?
Step one:
First, I hope you already have a WYSIWYG editor. Sadly drupal hasn’t figured that concept is important enough to their user base yet. The latest one that I would recommend is called Wysiwyg API and allows you to use all the “good editors” like TinyMCE and FCKEditor. If you don’t have an editor yet, get the one download the API I just mentioned, then follow steps. If you need a walk-through with that, let me know.
Step two:
Pay attention here…
Create a new page in drupal,
Below the content area, click on “Switch to plain text editor.”,
In the “Input Format” make sure it it set to Full HTML,
Now paste the Google Calendar “iframe” code in the content area.
Save and it should work. If not, let me know…
Got a iPhone, BlackBerry, or any other type of SmartPhone with internet???
Then visit this site for some fun:

The Popular 3-d Peeling Sticker Effect Start with your object being on a layer by itself. For my example, I am going to make a “Euro-Style” Sticker…
I have had a few people ask me over the years how I create Favicon’s for websites. These are the little images found in your browser after you Bookmark a website, and the site is “branded.”
So do you want to know how to make one for your site? Luckily for you, I feel like teaching today.
Download the plugin needed at the Telegraphics website
You will need to get either the Windows, Vista, or Mac version depending on what system you use.
Unzip file and place read the README file to learn where to put the Plug-In.
Since browsers do not like to look at the image if it is much bigger than 16×16 (some are 32×32) pixels, what I usually do is open a new file in PhotoShop at 160×160 pixels. Then after I put the information in - I can simply resize the Image Size to 16×16 or 32×32.
My personal preference is to make a 32×32 file because all browsers will reduce those in 1/2 if needed.
Once happy with the look of your file, simply go to Save As >> favicon, and make the File Format = .ICO
This is NOT an Easter Egg or anything, just a fun little visualization you can run.
Open your Command Prompt and Naviagate to your System 32 Folder.
Probably something like this:
cd C:\Windows\System32
Once here type:
ribbons.scr /p65552
Enjoy
Finally, a very nice WYSIWYG editor for Drupal. FCKEditor is a great editor module that is quick and easy for users to install and setup. Also, this is the Project area for FCKeditor on the Drupal.org website.
I have been using this now for over 2 months and highly recommend it for anybody who needs a quick, user-friendly way, for your Drupal users to make highly formatted posts. I first gave TINYMCE a shot, but did not like it as much for a number of reasons. One of my biggest issues with it was the fact that many of my users turn off Java on pages, and TinyMCE must have Java enabled to work. Please keep this in mind if you plan on using TinyMCE.
One thing to highlight about the setup is the editor(s) of the Module did not mention you must make sure all users are set to “Use Full HTML” instead of “Use Filtered HTML”, or it will not working properly. So keep this in mind.
Here are the directions to setting it up, and some Pros / Cons to using this module.
PROS:
Quick and easy to install
User-Friendly for front-end users who do not have HTML background
Ability to upload media of different types quickly
CONS:
Documentation is poorly written… ( Obviously written from a Programmer point of view, not a User point of view )
Small learning curve
Works best if installed before making other User Roles, found under the Administer >> User Management >> Roles, other than anonymous and authenticated
first, everything went to Web 2.0
then we all heard about “grillz” and cool shiny rims on cars
now even google had to get caught up in the mess, and make a browser called “Chrome”
when did the world become so dull that everything has to be shiny, chromed out, or glitterly?
personally, I think the fad is boring and I would rather go back to some simpler times when we all could just enjoy the nice weather, either at the beach or mountains, or through a walk downtown on a warm night after a nice baseball game.
Although I am a firm Atlanta Braves fan, and Turner Field is my Home Field - I realize the major importance of this year in baseball…
With it being the last year at the real Yankee Stadium, Sarah and I are trying to plan a time and place to go visit it. At the present, it looks like September is going to work for us both.
(Donations are welcome)…
