One of the biggest challenges front end developers face is having different browser versions on different operating systems display the page consistently. Even if you build your page with Firefox or Chrome on Windows, the page may display differently on those browsers with the Mac OS or Linux. Part of the reason is that each browser has it's own default stylesheet. One browser may use more padding on an unordered list while another may use just margin.

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.

I would like to make a disclaimer before I get started on this three month project. I am a communications girl not a web developer. I have VERY minimal knowledge of HTML and no PHP or Java insight whatsoever. I do have a blog on Wordpress and I had never heard of Drupal until I was hired at LevelTen. With all that said, here we go…

When you first set up an account, you will not have a couple of really important Drupal modules. Here are a few tips to get an Admin view as well as a recovery type module (Just in case you accidentally blow up your Drupal site).

It was a startling introduction to my LevelTen Interactive tenure.

Walking in with very little knowledge about Content Management Systems was a bit intimidating for a newbie at a Drupal shop.

Kayla quickly put LevelTen’s 2010 CMS Intelligence Report in my hands for a crash course on all things CMS-related.

DALLAS, July 7, 2010— More than two-thirds of organizations anticipate increasing their investment in open source technology, according to a recent survey by Accenture.

This comes as no surprise to Dallas-based LevelTen Interactive, which has been preaching the virtues of top open source development platform Drupal to clients and colleagues since 2008.

Of those surveyed, 40% said they plan on migrating mission-critical software to open source platforms within the next 12 months.

Innovative web development continues at LevelTen Interactive, as the staff has introduced new content analysis tools for Drupal this month.

The content analysis tools are a suite of Drupal modules, introduced by LevelTen’s Director of Technology Tom McCracken, designed to help Drupal 6 website owners make smarter search engine optimization choices.

There are now four available analyzers: Quick SEO, Scribe SEO, Readability and a W3C Analyzer. There is also a “Search Engine Terms” version coming soon, which will allow site owners to see what search engines think their page is about.
