WHY? Media

SURVEY: Is Drupal 7 ready for use on production sites?

on Wed, 01/04/2012 - 16:32

I've built several sites using Drupal 7. I've found it to be easier to use from a setup and interface point-of-view, but I've also found it to still be very buggy. I'm getting pretty comfortable with what I need to do to get the functionality out of it that I normally need, but overall I think Drupal 7 still needs a lot of work. I find myself using modules that are still in development or waiting for other modules not yet completed. I like using Drupal 7, but using it has its costs.

What do you think...

WHY? Media is Moving

WHY? Media is moving. 

Acquia has launced it's new Drupal Gardens platform and we want to give it a test run, so we decided to give our website a new home.  Drupal Gardens is a hosted and simplified version of Drupal, the CMS that we have been building our websites on for years.  Drupal Gardens appears to offer a pretty solid, scalable solution that will grow as your website grows and looks like it could be a good fit for a small business making it's first move from static Web 1.0 to the more interactive Web 2.0. 

As time allows, we'll use this blog to take notes as we experiment with this (and other) new tools.  Perhaps our archive will help others.  After all, isn't that's what open source all about.

We won't be updating the old WHY? Media - The Blog, but it still exists for archiving purposes if you ever need it.
