Here is a nice theme and site design for the NDP.

An interesting way of doing bilingual content is to have a separate domain, since the three letter acronym for the party in French is NPD, so they keep the relative path the same and change the domain.

The design is by a company called Web Network Services.

Perhaps someone from there can give us more details.

This is a personal photoblog, but the approach could be used for any visual graphics. The cms is Drupal 4.6.3. The theme is custom and powered by phpTemplate. Node display is limited to one per page, mostly to follow conventions of many photoblog interfaces, but also to minimize the bandwidth effects of having multiple images loading. (A visitor may only look at one or two images before leaving -- hey, I know I'm no Ansel Adams.)

Module use is minimal: image and pathauto are the main ones. Use of the image module is obvious. I customized the image sizes, and added a custom link to the node-image template so that it's clear that larger image sizes are available from the teaser view. (Those links are not available by default in the links array for the teaser.)

Pathauto is used not only for url aliasing, but also for categorization (different paths for different node types) and index aliasing. This way, display of just the "words" or just the "images" can be done simply by linking to the index alias of the pathauto paths for the given node types.

The "words" are created using the "story" type. Since multiple contributors are not part of the plan for this site, I opted to use the story node type rather than blog node type. Because reading white-on-black is hard enough on the eyes, I softened the effect a bit within the story node display. (Nevertheless, if one were intending to write more than post images, I'd recommend going with a dark-on-light schema instead.)

This semester, another teacher and I are teaching our two sections of ENGL 420S: Business Writing at Purdue University using Drupal via distance ed. I've posted a little more information about the site at DrupalED.

The Air Force has many different career fields designated by an alphanumeric code. 3C2X1 is the Air Force Specialty Code for the "long-haul tech guys" aka Tech Controllers. www.3c2.us is finally up and open for Tech Controllers and military contractors to meet up online.

Hey

Just wanted to get people's feedback on RentalMonster.ca (a site for finding apartments in Canada). Built with Drupal 4.6.3, flexinode, and a bunch of custom code.

http://www.rentalmonster.ca

Some cool features:

1) Cool browsing functionality.
2) Google Maps Integration
3) Dynamic Graph generation for individual nodes (You got to login and list a property to see those though, if you just want to see the graphs take the landlord tour),.
4) Favourites list with RSS feed (Basically just a beefed up Bookmarks.module but with a few enhancements)
5) Customized RSS feeds based on search queries.
6) Technorati exposure of all apartment rental properties as they are posted to various tags (using my technorati tags module with I released on my blog. Yes Boris, I realize this doesn't help anybody ;)
7) There is probably more, I probably just forgot.

I'd appretiate feedback, complaints, calling me stinky nuts or whatever. We launch pretty soon, so any bugs you guys find would be highly appretiated.

Boris has suggested:
- The login area sucks. The eye doesn't naturally find that little 'login or register' in the top right corner.
- Releasing any code I've developed to the Drupal community :) You can grab the auto geo code crap from my blog right now. I'll likely release the jpgraph per node statistics module later this week to my sandbox.

Word.

Here is my first site with any CMS. I've been learning how to design in Drupal as I go. A few little formatting tweaks remain to be rooted out, but overall I'm staisfied, and I've found Drupal to be a great tool! I started with box_grey.
