Updates to my blog
Jan 26, 2011
I've been doing some updates to my blog and I just wanted to share the experience:
-
Moving from Drupal 6 to 7 went incredibly well, but the theming changes are still causing me a lot of trouble.
I had to rely on the Devel module to clear the theme registry on every page load to actually understand what was happening. Still have to fix categories and my sidebar. - Comments were not working well, Mollom spam filter wasn't helping me as much as I wanted so I decided to move to Disqus, which seems to be getting a lot of traction lately. I see more and more sites moving to it. I will try to move my old comments to it.
- Ditched WYSIWIG module with FCKEditor for CKEditor module on Drupal 7. Seems to be doing a much better job.
- Added RSS Graffiti to my facebook page to auto share my posts in there.
- I keep making the layout more minimalistic and clean. I still need to tweak it more, though.
I wanted to add that I tried Tumblr for a few days but the service seems to go down every 30 mins. So I will stick to my Drupal blog for a while.
