design

I just relaunched my portfolio site.

http://www.davyvandenbremt.be

Who said Drupal designs were uggly? Tons of great Drupal designs are available. And right now a place is available that bundles all these to prove the disbelievers wrong.

Visit drupalmuseum.com to visit the Drupal Museum.

I know there's a few other sites available, like drupalsites.net (which I like), or even Dries' blog. But Drupal Museum focusses on design. Which was something not available until now.

I really hope it will collect a lot of good sites. It will help Drupal developer draw non-believers over the line to convert their site to Drupal.

Let me also say that I'm proud to have one of my sites listen in "the museum": kristinascoop.be.

At this moment I'm integrating the HTML/CSS/JavaScript produced by a design bureau into a Drupal theme. And sometimes I was at the verge of pulling my hair out and calling names to the guy who created the images.

Please! If you know you're developing for Linux servers, check your use of letter cases! Or better... Just use dashes to seperate the words.

An example:

Suppose you have a filename you would like to call like 'BgCanvasLeftSpacesAndWhatever.jpg'. As soon as you mistype one letter (just the case), it won't work on a Linux/Apache server. But you wouldn't notice the difference if you just tested on your local OS X or Windows computer.

Spot the difference between 'BgCanvasleftSpacesAndWhatever.jpg'!!! Practically undoable.

If you would have used dashes, you would have spotted the difference immediately, because no Operating System or web server would allow you to drop the dashes.

So in the example you would have bg-canvas-lef-spaces-and-whatever.jpg.

And it looks better too ;)
