If you ever wanted to allow your site’s users to be able to generate bit.ly URLs cleanly from within Drupal? Well, now you can! The newly written bit.ly module provides OAuth access to allow visitors to sign into their bit.ly accounts, acquire their API keys, and create links in their names’ as well as retrieve statistical account data. More is to be…
Add another module has been recently updated with another new time-saving feature; you can now display “Add another” tabs on certain node types. I’m also taking the time to think of what else can be done to make the usual node creation workflow easier for end users. I’ll be looking for suggestions on how to improve the UI and workflow of node submissions and…
Michael B. from the Mozilla Marketing list recently posted an hypothesis on why Google Chrome may suddenly start taking a much larger chunk out of the browser market now that Microsoft’s browser selection screens are appearing in the EU. “I’ve a hypothesis to explain Chrome’s recent and sudden surge of usage share the last couple months.

Didn’t need to connect to SSH, didn’t need to connect to FTP. I click two buttons and my blog was running the latest and greatest WordPress. Why are they allowed…
If you’ve been using Drupal for any amount of time you’ve probably ran into the problem of needing to go to the access page each time you enable a module to ensure the admin users have permission to make full use of it. This is a module that I was planning to write, but then I discovered JacobSingh had already made it; Admin Role is…
In my wishlist last month, one of the items I had on my list that didn’t already have a solution, was the ability to have a message when a user created a node that would present them with a quick way to add another node of the same type. Today, I’m happy to say I’ve created a new contrib module that generates…
