General discussion

I picked up some great Druplicon stickers at Drupalcon Chicago. But now I've given all of mine away and I'm sad.

I think this is a picture of one: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stickergiant/2803701245/ and it indicates that Four Kitchens was the source.

Besides Four Kitchens, any ideas where can I get more? Druplicon sticker swag would help me to share the good news about Drupal.

I am professional web designer & founder of web development company eSparkInfo Solution. We have added one section for CMS development under web development section. I have bit of knowledge regarding Drupal & learning more to get it done at my own.

I just think about it. Why should I not offering Drupal development services to my valuable clients? That's why I started one section Drupal Development under CMS development section.

I have included following key notes on that page.

Hey guys-
I am a graphics guy who can fumble through code- but not write it from scratch. I have developed a NUMBER of sites- but this is my first Drupal experience. I've read all the starting documents, been playing with Drupal for DAYS now- even installed and modified different modules, so I'm somewhat familiar with it and the concepts (nodes, vocabularies, etc).

I have installed Drupal 7.2 on MDD Shared Hosting. I am looking to build a community site (actually a NUMBER of them very similar to this one once this is completed). They are very similar to these sites:
colourlovers.com
instructables.com
gdgt.com (somewhat).

The concept is that the users will upload various pictures/video & a description to a page, and then the rest of the community will be able to 'like' it (not a facebook like tho). The pages with the most 'likes' will appear in the home page and various search/sideboxes (top rated by time/date, newest, most viewed, etc). For example- a user uploads a video and/or pictures of some artwork. He'll write a short statement about it and 'publish' it to the community. Once published, other users will be able to see it, comment on it, and 'like' it if they choose to. There are different categories for each type of upload (vocabularies, etc), as well as tagging, comments, etc.

I have found a status update module but which does not support drupal 6.x
is there any other status update modules or any other ways to get this done?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I need to have each authenticated user setup and edit their own page. Each user must then be able to setup a visitor account (using a different username & password for the visitor account). The visitors to the page will log in using this visitor account information and only be able to view the page (not edit it). Thanks for your help!

Dear Drupalistas,

I am an aspiring Drupal programmer and was hoping to get some advice on what I skills I should be learning and in what order. To give you some background I am coming in fairly green. I took a C++ class in high school, but that's about it! :) For the past 3 months I have been working through the Using Drupal book whenever I get a chance. I've also worked through the online tutorials offered by www.w3schools.com for HTML, XML, CSS and am finishing up JavaScript.

I love Drupal and web design in general. I admire the collaborative spirit of the drupal community and want to start contributing as quickly as possible. The scenarios I have worked through in the Using Drupal book have all been straight-forward and easy to follow and I am wondering if maybe I should be digging into other things (I am on Chapter 6- Managing Workflow).

I have a bit of urgency with learning because I have three kids and I am changing careers from being a teacher. My plan is to work part-time so I can dedicate as much of my time as possible to learning Drupal and whatever else I need to get hired on as a programmer.
