How Drupal Gardens will change the way I do business

Acquia's Drupal Gardens went beta yesterday, and although I wasn't in the first round of people to get invited to help beta test, I did attend a webinar this afternoon where the major features were demonstrated and our questions were answered.  I'm very excited about this service for a variety of reasons, and I'm certain it will change the way I do business as a Web developer.  Here's how:

Drupal 7: the road ahead

A number of you are my friends on Facebook and may have wondered why I got so excited a few days ago about DrupalCon Paris (which I'm not attending -- it's happening right now) and the accompanying "code freeze" of Drupal 7.  Without getting too technical, here are some of the recent developments and what they mean for you as Drupal users.

Second Wind: How bicycling around North America changed my life

Ben's Wheeled Migration mapIn the summer of 2004, I sold or loaned most of my possessions and hit the road for ten months -- on my bicycle, alone.  My job was going nowhere; my personal life was going nowhere; and my housing situation had come to an end.  The plan was to go south for the winter and north for the summer, and avoid climbing any mountains, and visit friends and family and other points of interest along the way.  Aside from that sketch of a plan, I had very few expectations about what I or anyone else would get from the trip.  Now, just five years later, I'm happily married, have a lucrative and satisfying career, and own a house in a nice small town.  What happened?

Many friends and strangers, hearing about my trip, have said I should write a book.  But having worked in a used bookstore, I know how many books (including some about bike trips that are far better than I could write) go unread and are simply thrown away -- it's really discouraging.  But having developed Web sites, I know there may be other formats that suit this subject better than a bound book...

Block spam with Mollom

Before I installed Mollom on my sites, spam was a continual threat.  Not only were email forms at risk of being exploited, flooding their recipients with hundreds of unwanted messages a day, but comment spam could take over a site, covering useful pages in garbage or actually coopting the browser with iframes and other dangerous HTML tags.  I fought back as best I could with captchas and input filters, but it was an arms race I wasn't likely to win.
