Good Drupal Training
I have been using Drupal to manage several websites for a couple years now but really have not spent as much time as I should have in learning more about CSS and Drupal theming. I have been relying on Drupal themes that others have put together and just making some very minor changes to the themes for the sites that I am maintaining. I spent some time over Christmas break working on a new theme for my Blog site and for my 3 Day Team site. To learn more about theming in Drupal I ordered some downloadable video tutorials from a group call the Lullabots that do training on how to do things in Drupal. I have not made it all the way through both videos yet but they are already helping me understand the theming much better than I had before and I consider them a good investment. The only problem I have now is having enough time to make all of the changes that I want to.

Switched Back Again
A month ago I switched my personal blog from Drupal to Wordpress. Not I have switched it back again. I found that I really did want to spend the time to learn how to put together my own theme and not just settle for something that someone else put together. This is still a work in progress but it is better than I had before on Wordpress and I have learned quite a bit about CSS and theming in the last month. Since I am now up to four different Drupal sites that I am working on, I need to learn as much as I can about how it works and what I can do with it. No more Wordpress for me.

New Blogging Platform
I made the switch back from Drupal to Wordpress. Drupal is a very powerful CMS but it’s overkill for what I need in a Blog so I switched back to keep this simple. It was pretty simple to switch back and I have a new Wordpress theme that has lots of options. I will be updating this site with the rest of my information in the near future. I want to set this up similar to my other platform so that I can integrate this with both Facebook and Twitter. That will come soon.

Connecting Blog and Facebook
I spent a little time this weekend trying to figure out how to connect my Blog and Facebook. I have had my Blog longer but I spend more time on Facebook as that is where many friends and games are. I didn't want to give up my Blog site though since there are still some people that I want to be able to see some things that I post that don't have or want Facebook accounts.
