An update on whydrupal.com Nov 25 '09

its been quite some time since I last posted here on whydrupal.com and its not because of anything more than being totally engrossed this past year in exploring some amazing things you can do with Drupal 6.  Okay, well, it sounds like there's a ton of stuff I could have clued you into right? 

Well, unfortunately I was moving too fast to keep track of all the tips and tricks I've learnt recently so I'll be putting a couple of massive posts together this week trying to catch up on some essential info.

Furthermore, there is so much happening in the wider world of Drupal - what with Acquia now being an established company offering excellent commercial service for this great software, to the imminent release of yet another major version and people coming together to make its User Interface better than ever, to Drupal 6 being stable for some time and that resulting in new modules being created powerfully leveraging the (now standard) Views(2) and Panels. 

Given all these developments, I'm rethinking what this site's purpose is and how it can achieve it best - please post comments on this if you have them (and yes, I'm paying more attention to weeding out spam comments now so your thoughts won't get buried in a see of Viagara links! Ha.)

We're now using Mollom Mar 17 '09

Okay, so I'm quite interested in options for avoiding spam which do not add to the frustration people already feel when entering info through forms on the web - we've just moved the spam protection on the site over from reCaptcha to Mollom.

In the whirlwind of spam comment deletions I just went through before switching over I mistakenly deleted some genuine ones - for that I'm sorry guys!  Hopefully now we can leave things be and avoid seeing comments about viagra all over the place! :(
