My Drupal conference attendance and community participation plans for 2013

Submitted by on

As some of you may know, my wife and I are expecting our third child in early July. This will have a major effect on my contributions to the Drupal community for the second half of the year, but I'd like to map out my intentions for the year as a whole as I need to make the decisions now.

Drupal Search Engine Optimization (D7)

Submitted by on

As anyone who builds websites will know, search engine optimization (SEO), i.e. optimizing your website & its content to be more readily searched & discovered via search engines, is both deceptively simple in nature yet takes a good deal of time to maintain correctly. Drupal, the CMS system that I have focused my career on over the past four & half years, has many features that give it a leg up in the SEO battle, though in the end the single most important way of improving a site's SEO is by having good content. That said, there are some tools to help improve a Drupal site's SEO capabilities and a new book from Packt Publishing aims to guide you through it. So, how good is it?

Restarting the BlogAPI Alternative project

Submitted by on

In Drupal 5 and 6 there was a module shipped with core called "BlogAPI" which provided the necessary plumbing to let you post content using desktop clients that supported a variety of APIs. Unfortunately the module languished and, while APIs improved, the module's support for them did not keep up.

Customize the Subscriptions terms list

Submitted by on

A client recently requested instructions on how to customize the Subscriptions module's user subscriptions page to show more details instead of just the term title, e.g. show a description, image, etc. Thankfully this turns out to be pretty easy and just involves using hook_form_alter to customize the labels.

To use the following code just add it to a custom module and replace the "mymodule" bit with your module's name.
