There are essentially three approaches to your sites theme when using Drupal. One, you can use a pre built theme. There are several available that can be purchased or used without charge. Another method is you can build your theme from scratch. The third is to use a base theme that can be modified for your specific needs.

After weeks of research reviewing the most popular themes on D.O and many group discussions, I finally began the design and development of my first theme to be released to the Drupal community.

I am not a developer but I can only imagine the frustration of not having a simple template to follow for the new FBML tabs. Lo and behold the new 520 Grid System!! If you're used to the traditional 960 Grid System this will come easy for you.

It is a rare website these days that doesn’t have some sort of audio or video player in it. When creating a website with Drupal, there are now quite a few options on how to do this. Choosing which one to use is now quite difficult.

Choices, Choices

Hello, my name is Tom Nelson. I was hired recently by Levelten as a front end developer/themer and am getting settled in.

I'm originally a native of Texas, but have only lived here for seven years after living in the midwest and west coast for most of my life. I was a music major in college before switching to IT and have been working as a web developer for the last three years.

As an Art Director and long-time web designer I must admit I never really had a consistent way of creating concepts that were easily transferable from wireframes to concepts, then to final markup…until now.

I recently read a good article on http://www.thewebdesignerdepot.com discussing the importance of typography and how it equates to customer satisfaction, retention and increased sales. Good typography brings order to the page and increases legibility, allowing people to process information faster. Here are a few tips they suggested and I will reinforce:

1. Watch Your Measure

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is the styling language developed by the W3C for use in conjunction with a markup language such as HTML or XHTML. Its power is in the fact that the information can be stored in various scopes, and the cumulative effect of all styling rules is computed before rendering the final design in the browser. When used with sufficiently semantic markup, it is a very flexible way to completely style a website, separating the presentational details from the content itself.
