Internet Explorer is a deadly trap for web developers. In fact a good amount of time is allotted to just ensuring a website's experience is uniform across different versions of the browser. The problem plaguing Internet Explorer is that each version has generally been released alongside a new iteration of the Windows operating system.

When using Drupal we all know there are two themes: default and administrative. By having two different themes site managers have a better user experience by knowing "this is public," and "this is administrative." It also proves beneficial to have specific administration themes due to the kinds of content and forms that a site manager has to interface with.

Ever since Satya Nadella became the new CEO of Microsoft I've been keeping an eye out on the company. I'm not exactly a fan of Microsoft, but maybe he'll be the driving force that can allow the company to compete in the modern market.

Last week I was down at the amazing Florida Drupal Camp and gave my first Drupal Camp presentation! I've been meaning to do a write up, but life is just too busy right now. So here's the slides at least! http://www.slideshare.net/MattGlaman/rockin-responsive-content-with-pan…

When it comes to Drupal I love entities. Entity display modes provide simplicity in managing how your content is displayed. I used to be hardcore "Fields only" when it came to using Views and displaying content.

I'm going to Florida Drupal Camp, and actually proposed a session on Rockin' Responsive Content with Panels Layouts.". It looks to be a kickass camp, so get registered and go!

I gave a presentation last month at Drupal 414 on building responsive websites using the Omega framework, and compared apples to oranges with version 3 and 4.

For quite a long time I used Aptana as my development IDE; but, as time went on I found it quite bloated and extra features I didn't need. So I gave Sublime Text a try since it's all the rage by those who use it. Sublime Text is amazing because it's so simple, yet extendable.

Last Thursday we had our second Drupal 262 user group meeting on "Breaking Down Drupal." The goal of the meeting was to simplify and explain all of the terminology found in Drupal: regions, blocks, menus, nodes, taxonomy, and users. I'm posting a link to the slides that were presented that helped tie everyhing together.
