Share Bar for Drupal 7

11/15/2011 -- Patrick

Share bar is a responsive sticky social media bar that provides a number of different social media "badges." Badges can be turned on and off as well as reordered. Share bar is placed on your Drupal site as a block. When the screen is wide enough to display the bar it floats in a fixed position. When the screen is too narrow to display share bar it will revert to a static position in the block it was originally placed in.

Because Share Bar sticks to an element rather than to a static position on the page. This means it's compatible with fluid or responsive themes like Omega.

DIWD First Day in Review

10/12/2011 -- Patrick

As I mentioned in my previous post, this is my first conference or formal training of any type since graduating college. I came here with some very high expectations. The free Lullabot videos are all excellent and Lullabot seems to be a quality "brand" when it comes to Drupal training.

The night before DIWD

I'm here at the Brooklyn Bridge Marriott the night before the Lullabot "Do it with Drupal" conference. This is my first conference and first formal training of any type since graduating from SUNY Albany in 2008. It's late, but it seems to be a friendly vibe among hotel guests.

Drupal 7 SEO

7/26/2011 -- Patrick

Drupal 7 and its predecessors are great for SEO, but out of the box certain SEO aspects can be lacking. A vanilla install of Drupal will not automate path names, and to some surprise meta tags are not a part of the Drupal Core.
