The mere mention of the word backup makes many website owners panic. "Backup! Um, yeah well I meant to do backups, but I never get around to it". Trust me, when a database fails you need a recent backup. And databases do fail!
Boost is an amazing Drupal module that can dramatically improve the page speed performance. This can improve the experience of visitors and help a web site cope with unexpected surges in traffic.
It has been quite a while since my last post. I would love to say it is because I have been spending my time in glorious sunshine at the beach. But if are living in the UK like I am, you'll know that that isn't the case. Sunshine? I can't remember what the sun even looks like!

The military rulers in Fiji are very unhappy with Bill Gates and friends at Microsoft. Microsoft has allegedly named a new operating system, Window's Fiji.
Bill Gates will not return the phone called of Fiji Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed-Kaiyum. Sayed-Kaiyum has written to Gates in which he says "Fiji asserts its absolute ownership over the use of the world ‘Fiji’."
REM is using Drupal for its tour website. Drupal is gaining a lot of traction with a lot of high profile websites switching to Drupal recently. I am particularly excited about REM's use of Drupal because I am a huge REM fan (and obviously a huge Drupal fan)!
I came across WeBuilder about a year ago I started looking into various code editors. I was using Dreamweaver at the time. While Dreamweaver is a good product, I always felt that there was probably a product out there that was better and more time efficient. I was mainly looking for a PHP Editor and was willing to use Dreamweaver for HTML and CSS, but a combined editor would have been ideal.
It is as if affiliates have no originality what so ever. There are so many blogs by affiliates that are called something affiliate. affiliateblog.co.uk, affiliatestuff.co.uk, affiliatemarketingblog.co.uk, affiliate-my-cat-ate-my-homework blah blah.
I spend my working day with my head stuck in the dark inner workings of Drupal, which I love. I get so excited about technology like Drupal that I find myself selling it to random people who really couldn't care less. So I have come to accept that I am a geek at heart and I'm totally cool with that.
When I first heard about Twitter I thought it was quite simply the dumbest idea I have ever heard of. But after reading loads of people saying how much they love it, I decided to give it a try.
