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!

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.

Right now two of the most popular open source content management systems are WordPress and Drupal. WordPress is very simplistic and easy to roll out, which is why there is nearly 80,000,000 websites using WordPress. Then you have Drupal which is a more robust content management system that needs a little bit more love to get things moving.
After a few months I decided to give Facebook Albums some love. With 2.0.4 I implemented WordPress's caching mechanism to cache Facebook API responses for better performance. Will it never occurred to me about clearing said cache if the widget or that post updates.
When I relauched my website I went on the flat and thin design bandwagon. I also took the same approach and crafted up a CodePen of a form utilize flat design.
