Drupal CMS: 6 Key Advantages

Many websites utilize WordPress, Plone, or Joomla; however, the use of Drupal CMS is a great alternative with many advantages for your SEO-friendly system. Here are the six key advantages of Drupal CMS that you may not have with the other three.

1. URL Control. Drupal CMS offers greater advanced control of URL structures. Unlike WordPress, Drupal CMS can create a custom URL alias. With WordPress, you are stuck with only one URL, but with Drupal you can customise each post.

2. Custom content types. With Drupal’s CCK (custom content kit), you can create custom content types and advanced views without creating a new code. These content types can come in the form of blog posts, forum posts, tutorials, as well as podcasts and advertisements. With the others, you must create a new code for each content type, but not with Drupal.

3. Better control for revisions. With Drupal CMS, you can save a new version of the file every time it is edited. As a result, you have more freedom and control the revision as you return to previously written pages.

4. User management. As with the others, Drupal is designed for high control by your users. With Drupal, you can create many different types of users, including “anonymous visitor”, “moderator”, “editor”, “webmaster”, “authenticated user”, and “admin”. This gives you more options when assigning roles to your users, not to mention it is quite easy to integrate online information with external business programs, such as hr software.

5. Documentation. Drupal offers a large amount of support for your users, including handbooks, API Reference, numerous tutorials, blogs, and podcasts. It also includes the new Pro Drupal Development to increase your skills.

6. Large user community. Drupal is growing incredibly quickly, with many new websites choosing Drupal over WordPress or Joomla. The Drupal forum has a large following that can help you increase your skills as well as finding like minded websites that also use Drupal.

Rage!

Between the ages of ten and sixteen (many years before a Touring caravan insurance quote was the highlight of my day), pretty much the only thing I did (besides annoy my sister) was play computer games and eat too much food and annoy my parents. Every day after school, me and my brother hanging out trying to beat each others scores, that was the best part of growing up. The tragedy was that I was the older brother, yet I was never able to beat my brother’s scores. It was a tragedy which I remember eclipsing most of my childhood. It seemed extremely serious at the time, no joke! (With hind-sight it seems just as serious.)

Different games brought different rage. If my brother beat me at a role-playing game, for example, I would be quite angry, but that was nothing compared to the all-dominating Hulk-like anger that erupted out of me when I lost to him at a fighting game. I remember one particularly serious incident following him beating me with Ryu at Streets Of Rage. The entire street knew about it. The argument eventually turned in to a fight, with both neighbours complaining that they thought something terrible was going on in our house. Which it was, of course. More terrible than their old-fashioned minds could ever imagine–

We never did resolve that conflict. To this day my brother still believes that he beat me fair and square. Though that may be the case, my pride won’t let me admit that he was right.

Meaning

Words mean a lot. Take chemical skin peels for example…Does that sound good to you? Names mean even more. They are part and parcel of why people and brands become successful. I take Tom Cruise as my example. Imagine the following scenario playing out at an audition (in a world where Tom Cruise wasn’t called Tom Cruise) and you’ll see what I mean:

Actor walks in to audition and introduces himself:

“Hi, my name is Jared Heemaroyd.”

Director shuffles nervously in his seat: “Did you say Heemaroyd young man?”

“Heemaroyd, through and through.”

Now, Jared recognizes the worrying expression on the director’s face. He has seen it a million times before. He’s good looking (if you like short men who smile too much, that is) and not bad as an actor, but he just never seems to do enough to land the job.

“Ok then boy,” says the director. “Let’s see you act. Read the script, let’s go.”

Jared acts away. He’s good, the director knows this, but already he’s ruled Jared out. He just can’t risk it. He can’t have someone on his cast who makes people nervous about sitting down, it just won’t work.

There we have it, Tom Cruise’s career didn’t even get off the ground in that alternative universe. He had to live with his wife Nicole and watch her get all the parts and it became a real drag real quick. Names are important, you see. So have a heart and look through them to the person behind–And give people called Heemaroyd an easy time of it for once, will you?

Big Terry Is Done For

I was ecstatic when the all-dominating Avatar lost out to the relatively miniscule by comparison The Hurt Locker on a slew of awards at the 2010 Oscars. Not because I particularly disliked Avatar or enjoyed The Hurt Locker, but because there’s a lot to be said for real acting and real directing, just as there is to be said for Tattoo removal if you have a big fat one on your forehead; after all, with it being almost entirely CGI, how can a film like Avatar be considered a film by traditional standards?

Recently I had this debate in the pub. There was my Hurt Locker representing team on one side—small and comprising of only my friend and I—and a whole pub-full of people. The situation, I felt, accurately reflected the status of the two films: over the course of that evening my friend and I bought about four drinks, and the rest of the pub bought about 60.

Their collective argument was this: “It must have been a nightmare to direct, that Avatar, what with so much going on. That’s why it should have beaten your tiny film with ease!” And our argument went like this, and was, I felt, approximately 3000% more solid: “Yes, but The Hurt Locker was a real film, and the award was for best director–all the awards were about real film–therefore it had to win, don’t you see?”

They didn’t see, and we didn’t desire to make them see (big Terry wasn’t on our team and could get pretty het-up over film debates). But in the end the dust settled and we won: at least in my mind that is. Here’s the thing: real film should be awarded for its hard work. As good as CGI can be, it’s no substitute for some good old-fashioned acting.

Review: God of War III

God of War III offers some of the best visuals seen on a video game. It is brilliant artistically as well as technically leaving you feeling Kratos’ plight (and bloodlust) throughout.

The cut-scenes specifically are stunning to watch, and usually centre on Kratos’ hatred of his father Zeus, who in the last instalment of the game banished him. And vengeance is indeed what he gets. However, at the beginning of the game, the cut-scenes seem repetitive: Kratos is stopped on his quest for Zeus by numerous foes that get in his way.

But the game begins to open up in later in the game. We start to see more to Kratos than just his bloodlust and hatred of his father, so we get to see another side.

The key to the captivating visuals is the combat itself. The many ways to destroy your enemies are presented in some brutal gore and carnage. This fascinating game definitely embraces its violent side.

In terms of game play, there are not many additions from God of War II, although there is one notable adjustment. Now, you do not have to always use your trusty Blades of Exile, because now your secondary weapon is quite useful. There are four alternatives that, although not much different from the Blades, are still visually stunning a lot of play. And now that you can switch over weapons quickly in game means you can start using more alternatives during combat.

It’s also nice to see that each Boss is unique. You must use different techniques against different Bosses. During tough times against some creatures, it will give you a prompt to attack the boss in a very extravagant way, which always finishes with a brutal slay.

Gods of War III didn’t expand very much from its predecessor, but instead offers an easy to pick up combat game with some well presented fight sequences and cut-scenes.

Quick thing, I have just looked at the design for this human resource software page, the one that Suzie just got a job with. It looks like a great company, well done little sister!

Not A Girl

I am not a girl, but I can certainly see the appeal of being one. After all, girls have many advantages over their cumbersome, clumsy, non multi-tasking male counterparts: for example, they can dance as ridiculously as they want and get away with it, which is good enough on its own, and they can also get almost anything they want just by batting their eye-lashes and standing in a strategic position. If I was a girl then I know one thing: I’d probably enjoy checking out the following web-site.

If girls in beach party dresses are your thing, and you also love online gaming websites more than almost anything else, then this site could be for you. It has a large variety on the home-page to choose from, and even better your girlfriend won’t hassle you if you spend an inordinate amount of time looking at them all. Why won’t she? Well, no promises, but this site has a lot of girly stuff which will keep her happy, too. There are also articles on all kinds of things, so there’s something for everyone.

But best of all, this site is just packed with games stuff, period. You’ll find all the old classics here, plus tons of new ones which are dying to be played! In fact, there are so many games—quite a few of them for the female of the species—that you may find your girlfriend uses this site more than you. Which could become an issue. But don’t say I didn’t warn you.

Final Fantasy XIII

As we enter the month of March, the gaming world prepares itself for some of 2010’s, and arguably the Playstation 3’s, biggest releases. With God of War III coming out mid-way through this month and Heavy Rain having been released already, what more could possibly be coming out in the same month?

Well, I think it’s safe to say that there is one more game whose release will eclipse even that of God of War III, and that is the latest in a long running, highly successful and incredibly popular series of games. Final Fantasy XIII (13) is finally hitting our stores.

This will be the first Final Fantasy game to be released on the Playstation 3, despite it being nearly four years since the PS3 came out. We heard about Final Fantasy 13 during its production stages a couple of years ago and we have been waiting patiently for its release for a long time.

The great thing about a lengthy production time is that hopefully, the creators have made a fantastic game which is devoid of flaws. They aren’t simply rushing out a game they know would sell to make some quick cash, they want this to be amazing.

From the trailers and from what we have been told, it looks like this game is going to be amazing. The graphics are stunning, and could be the best we have seen on the PS3 yet. The game will certainly give you value for money, as do all Final Fantasy games, with lengthy play times. The storyline will be just as epic as always and the action will be fast and energetic with the introduction of a new battle system.

The world’s patient wait is over as Final Fantasy XIII is released on March 9th.

One last thing, I have just looked at the web design for this human resources software website and I must admit in my web designer opinion it is definitely attractive. I am thinking basing the next project on this sort of idea, what do you think?

Persian Classic!

I remember hearing about the boy up the street who was getting a

Fortunately we had Prince of Persia to make it all better and our trusty Master System to play it on. Who needed a Mega Drive when you could be a Prince and dash about eerie palaces and dungeons to the beat of an eerie regal sound-track? We didn’t!

Prince of Persia was the same as every other platform game out, so there’s no reason for it to stick in my mind, and yet it does. What I remember the most is actually being scared when I played the game–my heart racing as I sought to find the exit or solve the next piece of the puzzle. Which is all very odd because I’ve never been a fan of Prince’s in general; apart from the musician, that is. But that goes without saying.

Another thing I used to do is dress up as the Prince, with my plastic sword by my side. Don’t tell anyone but sometimes I get the old garb out of the attic and still do it…

Alright everyone: I have significant news about the riding holiday, it emerged that there is something about horse liability that we need to look into. I know nothing about this, so Cheryl if you could do this it would be lovely.

Forza Motorsport 3

Do you hate driving games and think they get much more credit than they really deserve? I do. I know that’s not something a man should really be admitting to, but I feel like it’s an important point. I’ve just never really got on with them and I can’t really tell you why that is. I suppose I just always found them a bit boring. The attraction was lost on me.

Until my brother managed to convince me that Forza Motorsport 3 was actually really good. I didn’t believe him, of course—why would I? There was no reason I should since I was such an expert on hating driving games! For about ten minutes I was convinced it was the same old boring driving about macho look-at-me thing. And then I started getting in to it. I was soon hooked!

OK, I’d be a massive liar if I told you this game wasn’t pretty similar to other driving games. Of course it is. How different can you make a driving game and still keep it within the realm of driving games? Well, Forza is a bit different. It has cool features such as this: 1) you can take your car around the world’s most infamous racing circuits and 2) you can also drive your car the wrong way around them and smash in to all the other cars. That’s the bit I enjoy. I sit there while my brother goes racing around the track, and then I accelerate full force in to him, giving me immense joy and making him very angry!

One last thing, I need to congratulate myself. I have just bought the most delightful brooks running shoes that I have ever owned. London Marathon, here I come!

Surviving

British hit show Keeping Up Appearances: that’s the subject of discussion here. Click on the link and vent your feelings!

Another very good question you must have asked yourself if you’ve seen this show: could you survive in Richard’s shoes?

It’s an interesting point, why do we like to watch poor Richard’s misfortune when we wouldn’t last five minutes in his shoes? And do we shout at him to leave that house, or do we beg him to stay for another few series? If you answered with the word ‘leave’ then are you really being honest abiout how much you adore this show?

I suppose for a certain faction of the strange-holded, under-the-thumb husband generation, Richard is the punch-bag who makes the journey somehow more bearable. For everyone else it’s just good to see what trouble he’ll get into next, and how his (demented) wife will react.

So why is it that we love to watch people have such horrible life experiences? My guess would be that it makes us, subconsciously, think how lucky we are. After we’ve finished viewing it we go back to our lives—whether we are husbands or wives or not—and count ourselves as blessed with happiness.

And there’s another thing; something I only just recently learned. A friend of mine who is newly married told me that actually, Keeping Up Appearances is a crucial visual training manual for what not to do when you get married—I don’t know why I didn’t think of that before; I mean, being a husband has pretty much always entailed the same kinds of thing, has it not? I’ll definitely be keeping a few copies of this show on me at all times, just in case I need to learn his lessons.
