Last December I wrote up 24 specific things we've automated on Drupal, and published them as an Advent Calender -- one little nugget each day.

Last year I gave a presentation at DrupalCon about automating things using the powerful ECA Module. Here's the recording!

How do you get a website back up, when it goes down?

Call me a radical, but I don't think a handful of billionaires controlling the majority of a country's wealth is a good thing. I don't think the ultra-wealthy need more benefits at the expense of everyone else.

The recording of my talk from DrupalCon this year is now available!

This is perhaps my most technical talk, meant for developers and tinkerers who would like an easy way to get started with Drupal.

Craig asks,

At Freelock, we're starting to use Nix to manage different PHP environments, and be able to incrementally update websites.

Kevin asks,

Is there a Drupal Add On or Widget that would allow users to sort tables as they're displayed on the website?

Hi, Kevin,

Several options here:

In the past couple days I've gotten two different questions regarding building functionality out in WordPress. This seems a bit...weird with timing, given that Drupal CMS just launched three days ago!

Happy New Year!

This month we're doing a deep dive into privacy. Privacy for website owners, privacy for you, privacy for the world. To cap it all off, we have a special Privacy Tune-up offer to make sure your privacy policy is accurate and covering your assets...

And if that's not enough, it's a big week for Drupal -- see below for why!

Owning a website in 2025 is not as freeform a thing as it was a couple decades ago. Much like the owner of a store or an amusement park ride has to pay some attention to safety hazards, now site owners can't simply neglect caring for the privacy of their visitors.

As we start developing mini-products to offer to our clients, we've found we actually need to group multiple products under one purchase.
