A recipe for better pop-up gallery control

This recipe is created to help you better control your gallery displays. The topic of galleries have always been an interesting subject in the Drupal world. There are always many factors about what a gallery actually is as well as how you should make one for your site. Because Drupal is so flexible, there are obviously many solutions.

This solution that I am going to propose is based on my own experiments with various galleries. This set up will give you a lot of flexibility as well as a lot of control.Read more

What happened to January?

Kevin Finney — Fri, 04 Feb 2011 23:45:23 +0000

I'm looking at the date today wondering what happened to January. Already a month into the year, and things couldn't be hotter.

Drupal 7 has launched and DrupalCon Chicago is just around the corner. There is a buzz around Drupal, and people are getting excited about the possibilities.

It's interesting to me though, how many people still wonder what Drupal is, or have not even heard about it. All we do at Web Easy Media is Drupal work, so to think that there is much market confusion about Drupal is akin to blasphemy.Read more

Recipe for Customizing Your WYSIWYG

The purpose of this recipe is to turn over a WYSIWYG editor that the client will understand better. They will be able to visually see the different header and block styles before they select them. They will also see the styles applied within the WYSIWYG editor before they save their content.

There are a lot of changes to follow, which is why we have created this recipe. We try to be as systematic as possible when implementing this so more time is focused on the custom styles rather than the setup.

Dynamic Text Headers

Comparison of Font Replacement Technologies

Designers spend a lot of time picking out the perfect fonts for their designs. When those fonts are replaced with web-safe fonts, it can discourage the designer, because the final website doesn't look as clean or stylish as their initial mockup. It is for these reasons that dynamic font replacement techniques have become so popular. But if you aren't familiar with your options, you may find that you are working with unnecessary restrictions.
