I heard from a colleague today that xhtml is no longer going to be developed by the W3C and they will be focusing their resources on HTML5. I wasn’t shocked considering they released the working draft of HTML5 in August. Of course, we’ll still be using the current standard for awhile, but I thought it…

Well, I’ve had the Mollom plug-in enabled on my drupal installation for 25 days. Before Mollom I had several blog entries which had comments enabled, and I had left them open for months. Needless to say, I had a ton of spam. After looking around for a solution I found the Mollom plug-in and decided…

I’ve been spending some time over the past week or so tweaking my social networking work flow. I know this sounds ridiculous, but I’m totally serious. I’m trying to make my life easier. I’m not a big social network junkie, and I REALLY don’t want to waste my time tweeting, posting status updates, or logging…

Added a twitter badge to the sidebar of the site.  I don’t always get to post as much to the blog as I like, but twitter enables me to stay up to date with very minimal effort. So, you can keep tabs with me here and there at the same time. Twitter: @jedwillard or click…

I talked about social networking in my last post and I wanted to focus in on my personal favorite so far Twitter. I like twitter for a lot of reasons.  First, the simplicity is just beyond imaginable; especially with technology today.  I know behind the scenes that twitter is all sorts of complex, but the…

Well, I’ve had the mollom module installed for around 5 days and it has successfully blocked over 1300 spam attempts. Yes, that’s correct…over 1300 attempts…on this low traffic web site. I even attempted a generic, legit post as a test and it went through fine. I’ll probably try to fool it some more myself, but…

Social networking is white hot these days. I mean there are so many sites for people to connect online: linkedin, myspace, twitter, facebook, etc, etc.  I have accounts at all of the aforementioned sites but I don’t really spend a whole of time on any of them.  Why is that? After some period of time,…

Long time no see! Yes, I’ve been extra super busy as of late. But, now that the busier part of my summer schedule is winding down, I should have some more time around here. Anyways, I’m trying out this new web service called Mollom. I’m hoping it will alleviate the comment spam on the site.…

Hey!  I thought I would highlight some of my recent freelance web work.  My latest project was done for the guys over at The Roofing Dog website.  I’ve known Cory, the owner/operator, and his crew for quite a long time and they are a great bunch of guys.  I actually came to know Cory when…

In my last post, I talked about my experience setting up Drupal Clean URLs.  I had a very minor problem, which basically resulted in me having to add the correct .htaccess file to the root directory of my drupal installation.  Feel free to go back and read the last post for all the details. The…
