Re-branding of other sites

Alan — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 19:10:35 +0000

I've been busy on a few other sites recently.

I took the decision to start splitting out the information on Award Sounds into more specific sites.

alancward.co.uk features my photography and I'll continue to post photography-related articles over at that site from now on. I'm just building up that site now, so it may be a bit sparse this week. read more »

How Would You Process Map a Cup of Tea?

How would you process map a cup of tea?

I once had a recruiter vet me based on whether I could process map a cup of tea. I think he was new to the job and was fed a script from his client.

Issue with RSS Feed

We've still got issues with the RSS feed from this site since the upgrade to Drupal 6.

The first article shows correctly in the feed and then becomes repeated, often replacing the 2nd, 3rd and 4th articles and so on.

Since the Feedburner feeds are due to be moved across to Google Feeds anyway, I'm going to disable the Feedburner module for the time being and revert back to Drupal's built-in RSS feeds.
