Three to get ready now go cat go. Etc.

This is a new test post just to fill out space on the database.

In this post, I'm going to exclusively test different types of text heading. Headings allow you to break up content into organised and manageable chunks. This theme will support up to five levels of title, of different size and weight. Starting with H1

First level heading

This is a first level heading - normally it'll be reserved for blog post titles and stuff like that. It shouldn't normally get used as part of the main body text, since the title should be the only element with a H1 tag attached.

This is a post to test many of the style's we'll be using in this Drupal theme. We'll look at stuff like blockquotes, ordered and unordered lists and things like that. No need to worry about default stylings such as blod text and italics.

We'll need a few paragraphs, but maybe even also a couple of styles for inline images and text. What else should we consider as a standard styling? Code and preformatted text? Anyway, let's get started with the lists...

If you’ve got a community website using Drupal, you might want to protect your site from spammers by applying the rel=”nofollow” attribute to any links your users generate.

The theory behind this is that you protect your site from linking to ‘bad neighbourhoods’ an possibly incurring penalties with Google for spammy links. Rel=”nofollow” is your way of saying – as the site owner – that you can’t vouch for the quality of those links.

Anyway, you probably already know the reasoning – let’s show you how to set this up.

Being a WordPress devotee, the shocking thing about Drupal is that it doesn’t have a backup utility built into the core system. Any content management system that relies upon a back-end database should provide a way to back that database up regularly.

Shockingly, Drupal doesn’t. But it does have a dedicated community, and there are a number of options out there for backing up your database. The one which I’ve been using lately is the Backup/Migrate module.

I spent a frustrating hour searching for the comment configuration area in Drupal 6, so I’m putting this post together to hopefully save you time setting up comments in Drupal.

Basically, in contrast to previous editions of Drupal, comments are now configured by content type – allowing you to permit comments on blog entries, but not on image nodes.

Drupal's currently my content management system of choice. But like virtually any CMS, Drupal needs some SEO tuning to make it more attractive to search engines.

I've set up a number of websites using Drupal, and this post will gather together some of my standard actions for optimizing. I'll try to be as exhaustive as possible on this post, starting with the basics and moving toward more complex optimization techniques.
