Web Design and Development. Graphic Design and Retouching.

Brief but interesting interview with Dries Buytaert, about Drupal's history, plans for its future and Acquia's role.

Quick reminder: Drupal NWUK user group is meeting on Wednesday at the MDDA. Whether you know Drupal inside-out or would just like to know what it's all about, come along (if you're going to Leeds GeekUp you'll just have to be in two places at once: we'll try to avoid clashes in future).

If your theme is using a non-white background, here's a quick fix to display the syndication icon in all its rounded-corner loveliness:
