Starting the new year off with a bang, the Drupal development team is pleased to announce that the third Drupal 4.7.0 beta release is available for immediate download at http://drupal.org/files/projects/drupal-4.7.0-beta3.tar.gz! This beta release marks an important step towards the final Drupal 4.7.0 release and significant progress from our previous beta release: we've fixed over 100 bugs since the last beta release and more than 150 bugs since the first beta release. Here is the changelog. However, there are more bugs to be found, reported, and fixed before Drupal 4.7.0 can be released. The good news is that you can help!

Uwe Hermann has written a comprehensive article in the current issue of PHP Solutions, German edition Ausgabe 1 2006 (13). Uwe walks his readers through installing Drupal, and considers topics like multisite setups from the very beginning. He pays careful attention to describing how one would create a portal site (music portal in his article), where the site would be accessed using different subdomains, such as rock.example.com, blues.example.com and classical.example.com. This includes using database prefixing, and Uwe provides assistance on using the database prefixing scripts which ship with Drupal.
English is a strange language. The pronunciation is all too difficult. Anyway, The TTS Engine is already there. But surprised to find no vocabulary software that uses it to make pronunciation correct. Luckly, I found one at www.geocities.com/mailbikki. The sofware BiksVocab was a great help. You just keep working on your computer, the software reminds you or say teaches you a new word every few seconds. The software also reads out the word so that you know the correct pronunciation.
