Drupal Nice Menus Dissapear After Pause Fix
If you are using Drupal with the Nice Menus module and if you hover over a menu item, then pause, then move off again, the entire drop down menu disappears. We found that this only happens when the anchor has a title tag. This line of jQuery fixes it:
$(".block-nice_menus a").removeAttr("title");
Lorem Ipsum of Images: Image Ipsum
When it comes to web design, you want your clients to look at the layout of the site, and how the site handles the content. It can be easy to get caught up reading the text, so designers usually fill it in with Lorem Ipsum text. It's great, I love it. But what about images? Surely, you've got to demonstrate to your clients that the image upload feature of the content management system works, show them where they can expect the image to be once it's uploaded, and to know that an image can even go there, all while not distracting them with the image that you happened to have on your desktop that you decided you use just because it was closest one at the moment. So, I present to you: the Image Ipsum. The download has a pack of 4: the original you see here, then 3 extra with a number. I have mine chillin' in Fresh's Cooler, and I love it. Enjoy.

Better user backend: Admin Module for Drupal
So I've been using the Admin Module for Drupal recently to create a better backend for my clients, who end up using the site to create and edit content extensively, but did not have to piece all the nuts and bolts together. This module creates a nice page for getting to the all of what my clients usually need, and frankly, most of what I need. AJAX is just the right places, this module delivers a smooth, enjoyable administrating experience. Although, I don't think I could ever handle not having the Admin Menu module installed too.
Drupal Path Redirect Module and Taxonomy problems
I am building a site with a gallery in it and rely on the taxonomy list page for displaying all the pages with images. However, when I create new terms, it auto creates a redirect from /taxonomy/term/xx (xx = term id) to /taxonomy/term. Disabling the Path Redirect module fixed this.
Kuler Pulse: A Color Tag Cloud for the Trending Colors of Now
I just came across Kuler Pulse and was amazed when I realized what it was: a look at what colors designers are into now. The bigger the colors the more downloads of themes that contains that color. When I stoped by it looked like yellow was the thing. Maybe cause it's spring and in the morning? Getting a feel for what was a popular design technique or color choice or style traditionally took designers months, if not years, of observation. And now it's boiled down to a little circle with color blobs of varying size indicating deeper meaning in the thousands of users that power the data behind it accessed in seconds. Wow. I'm slightly appaled and very impressed.
