When people say "mobile first" in referring to web design & theming, it's not just a mentality or something people say in a "the way it ought to be" sort of sense. They literally mean, designing the mobile theme first, then adding on CSS for tablets, desktop, and wide desktop themes. In a technical sense, it means that the global.css that contains the basic design elements of the site is loaded no matter what device you are using to view the website. Then, CSS3 Media queries determine what the size of the window is and additional stylesheets will be tacked on; either "narrow", "normal" , or "wide" - depending on the width of the device. The Omega Theme comes with built in CSS media queries that determine when to load specific stylesheets.

Drupal, One of the Many Things I'm Thankful for

It's the time of year to sit back and reflect on the many things there are to be thankful about. God, family, friends, good food to eat, and Drupal. Yep, this year a CMS is on my list!

Not only is Drupal a fabulous content management system to build websites on, it's also changed the course of my life. It's provided me a way to do something I love, work remotely at home (and move to Florida!), and meet a lot of fantastic, giving, and intelligent people along the way. And I'm not ashamed to say that it also provides some excellent job security. And in times like these, that's nothing to shake a turkey leg at.

The Globe at War welcomes those interested in military history and international affairs. The client wanted a site that was easier to maintain than his existing site, which was built using CoffeeCup proprietary web design software. Drupal Gardens to the rescue! The client had previous experience with managing a Drupal 6 site, so learning to navigate the Drupal 7 interface within Gardens was a breeze. The updated user interface and restructured admin menus make it easier to not only add pages, but also photo galleries, live feeds from military news sites, and webforms for visitors to submit their own articles and reviews.

The Savory Hackers blog is the latest labor of love from Doug and I, as we enjoy the exploration of food and photography together. Doug is the inventor, hacker, and creative genius behind most of the recipes found here. I, Kendall, am the lucky girlfriend who takes most of the photos and enjoys the fruits of his labor. We both worked hard at growing lots of our own fresh herbs and veggies this year, and we’re loving our garden.

Kettering Soccer kicks off a new website!

Waterford Kettering High School has an extremely active soccer program. With 4 teams total, plus parents, they needed a website to help them stay organized. The site is hosted on Drupal Gardens, which makes it easy for the coach, Jon Cadwallader, to add and update content. Parents can contribute photos, and students can comment on stories or sign up to receive email updates. Since the site is for both the boys and girls soccer programs, it needed to have a fun and active look, but still be gender-neutral. As a fun touch though, the silhouette of the male and female soccer players at the top will change as you move into either the boys' or girls' sections of the site.
