Upgrading Drupalize.Me

Part of the Drupalize.Me team, Addison Berry, Joe Shindelar, Kyle Hofmeyer, and Joe Fender, gets on today's episode to talk about our new site launch, and the long road it took for us to get here.

We talk about the reasons we decided to upgrade the site, and share some of the big changes we made, and the biggest issues we've faced getting the job done. Listen to the podcast on 'upgrading from Drupal 6 to Drupal 7' here.

Caffeinated Drupal

A high-performance website is like a great cup of coffee: Both are heavenly when conditions are optimal, but there are small things that can quickly turn them from an enjoyable experience into something that leaves a very bitter aftertaste. With the right tools and preparation, it's possible to create a website (or cup of joe) that can be dependable (like that first sip of coffee in the morning), fast to respond (like a quick shot of espresso), and scalable for many visitors (like that fancy cappuccino machine at Williams Sonoma, the one you casually mention to all your friends as your birthday approaches).

This is the first in a series of columns on the subject of “Caffeinated Drupal,” where I'll cover Drupal performance issues, always being sure to relate the topic to my favorite beverage.

Let's get started, shall we? Grab a steaming cup of java (or iced, if you prefer) and we’ll set out to learn about Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) and how they can give a huge speed boost to your website, with minimal configuration. Not sure which coffee to choose today? I recommend a lovely Ethiopian Sidamo served as a cappuccino — nothing like that powerful fruit flavor with undertones of bittersweet chocolate — topped with a dab of perfectly-foamed milk.

Upgrading your Drupal website

The internet is a tricky thing. You need to constantly update yourself on the latest changes and technology being introduced.

Sometimes, having a Drupal-based website is good, but it isn't enough as you need to keep your business afoot with the industry. The best way to go about this at times is to get an expert on board to help you manage your site and help you upgrade it.

If you're anything like me, you probably have mapped out your design upgrade in your head. I say you keep that on hold as the holidays may bring in more brilliant ideas. Have a great week!
