Enjoy the slides from my entertaining and demo-driven presentation, given at the GT Build Day on December 5, 2013. This was a demo-driven presentation on how to use the Feeds module to make your migration from Drupal 6 to 7 easy and code-free. You can find the video on the attached GT Build Day page. I've attached my sample D6 Views import code & D7 Features at the bottom of this page.
You need to backup your Drupal 7 database and site, possibly because you have finished testing and want to move it to the live web server. The problem: you don't want to waste space backing up LARGE tables or files that you don't need, but are unsure which tables and files in your Drupal site to ignore. The solution: Adelle's guide to Drupal 7 tables and files (see below).
One of the easiest ways to upgrade between version 6 and version 7 of Drupal is to re-build your site in Drupal 7, and then use the Views Data Export and Feeds XPath Parser modules to move your pages and articles into your new site.
This post shows you the details of setting up both a D6 View you can export and a D7 Feeds importer you can use to migrate that View content.
Update: You might find the code attached to the "Feeds is my Friend" post helpful in supplementing these instructions. And I now recommend using the Features module to make it easy to copy Content Types, Taxonomies, Menus, and Feeds Importers from your test to production sites.
Do you need to set up a "simple" multilingual site with Drupal 7, using the future-looking Field translation method? Learn how to create a small website where the public content switches between many languages, but editors only use one language.

A list of education-related events happening at DrupalCon Portland. Let me know if I've missed any! Official hashtag for these sessions is: #drupaledu . New collaboration site for education users of drupal is: http://edudu.org (create an account and make comments).
Did you validate your drupal website and realize you need to replace some unclosed HTML4 tags with XHTML strict self-closing tags? Or maybe you're adding in some ARIA roles to make your text a bit more accessible.
Lo and behold: you will suddenly need to use your web host's phpmyadmin interface and SQL to find and replace strings of text in drupal's database.
Enjoy the slides, resources, and install profile code from my "Catalyzing Drupal Collaboration & Coding at Your Institution" presentation, given at Rock Eagle on October 25, 2012.
Are you using Drupal 6's webform module with CiviCRM version 3.x? Did you install the webform_civiCRM-6.x-2.4 module, and your site stopped creating civiCRM contact links for your webform reports?
First: re-set your site to use webform_civiCRM-6.x-2.3 and re-create the auto-assignment of civiCRM groups for each webform.
Next, if any webform submissions were created before you realized the problem and re-set your site as described above, follow the below steps to re-create links for those submissions.
Do you have a Drupal 7 web site? Do you want to get an email when someone comments, so you don't have to check your site all the time? Don't panic! Here's how you do it.
You don't need to install any new modules to do this in Drupal 7. All that's needed is a little configuring and to copy and paste in a short bit of code.
Update: Both the easiest & most powerful way to get these notification emails (in Drupal 6 or 7) is to install and configure the Rules Module. NodeOne has a great set of video tutorials on their site explaining how to use the Rules module. I've also put example code for a Rules-based email notification in the comments to this post for both Drupal 6 and Drupal 7.
Using a more
scientific method & customer-centric approach to debugging
Drupal, rather than randomly trying things, will greatly increase your productivity.
A big meme at DrupalCon London this year was mobile, so
I've arranged the tweets that featured the words "mobile", "responsive" or "adaptive"
by the sessions to which they belong.
Let me know in the comments if I missed any tweets or have placed them with the incorrect session.
Hope you enjoy this archive and that you start getting some Drupal 7 Theming ideas!
Were you unable to attend
THATCamp SE 2011 in Atlanta (March 4-6)? Find twitter streams a bit overwhelming,
lacking in context, or chronologically confusing?
Here is your solution: a re-organized, select set of relevant and/or funny tweets for
each of the sessions. Please post comments if I've missed (or completely
mis-categorized) any particularly good tweets! There's even a list at the bottom of this post of tweets that I couldn't place (your help is welcome!)
I'll also post links to people's notes, blogs and slides.
Were you unable to attend the 2010 LITA National Forum in Atlanta? Find twitter streams a bit overwhelming, lacking in context, or chronologically confusing?
Here is your solution: a re-organized, select set of relevant and/or funny tweets for each of the talks given on Saturday. Please post comments if I've missed any particularly good tweets!
I'll also be posting links to the slides and posters, when I can find them. I've also posted similar summaries for the other days of the LITA conference, including: Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.

When I first started blogging back in 2008, I decided to use drupal as the behind-the-scenes software. I'd been in love with it for years, ever since using version 4 at work. But, my goodness, the trials of getting it to look nice!
Herein you will find my journey through 2 themes to this beautiful design you see in front of you now.
Best free software for: protecting your computer, developing web sites, and having fun/being productive. I assume you have a Windows machine because they're cheap (unless you're a REAL techie who uses Linux and builds their own computer, in which case, this blog entry is probably beneath you).
Abstract: May claims that the ease of copying digital works has sparked an attempt by (largely corporate) owners to enforce their perceived legal rights over the works' digital embodiments with technological tools for digital rights management (DRM). He argues that these DRM technologies have sparked a renewed political debate over the balance of private and public rights in this arena.
