I just switched rundrupal.com over from a shared hosting plan to a VPS through Linode. It costs a little more but I get full control over the server and the uptime should be much better. Unless I don't do a good job setting everything up. I'll be giving updates on this site as to how the process goes. Right now I have this website running well on it and I'm in the process of getting all the email stuff set up. Here's hoping that all works out.

Today I launched my new theme for this site. It is a modified version of a the CrystalX design from open source web designs. I broke it up and made it fit for Drupal. Then I added a bunch of changes and tweaks that fit with my style and what I wanted for this site. I'm pretty pleased with how it all turned out.

I've always used GoDaddy for my domain registration. However, I find it really annoying that they make me jump through a bunch of hoops every time a register a site. I hate having to click no thanks to all their extra "features" they want to sell me. I'm also pretty annoyed with the way they run their advertisements.

Today I launched the official Run Drupal website. My goal in this site is to have a place where people can learn all the ins and outs of running a full Drupal website. I've been working with Drupal for over a year now and I've learned a lot along the way. I will post things I've already learned as tutorials on this site. As I learn new things I will be continuously updating this blog in a quick fashion. Then once I've had a little more time I will try to write tutorials off of my blog posts.
