PSD to Drupal Theme
Today I gave an at least marginally successful presentation on Drupal Theme Development at DrupalCamp Atlanta. I hope everyone who attended learned something or at least know where to look for further advice and guidance on building their first Drupal theme. I apologize to anyone who may have wasted their time :)
Whatever your opinion is of my presentation, please give me some feedback!! - http://speakerrate.com/talks/1471-psd-to-drupal-introductory-theme-devel.../a...

Unfortunately, none of our current client's sites are that particularly heavy on content and none of them come close to fitting into the style I wanted to explore.
Born is the beginning of what might become a contributed theme. Maybe. Considering how much work building this is going to be, and considering "these tough economic times" it's really hard for me to completely abolish the idea of putting this bad boy up on theme forest...

On the Disappointing Redesign of Drupal.com
There was a little rumble on the Tubes Friday about the redesign of Drupal.com. Mostly I just saw a few folks doing the sycophant dance and expressing how awesome and beautiful the redesign is.

The redesign is physically attractive, but "awesome" to me includes not only visual stimulation, but also success in creatively solving some problem or meeting some goal.
Drupal.com had a very good problem to solve: 30,000 unique visitors per month, most of whom were mistakenly typing "drupal.com" into...
