I’ve started work on the Media Transcriptions module today. This module will allow the attachment of Transcriptions (or Closed Captioning) to video and audio files. The initial version in CVS is from some work by Jonathan DeLaigle (grndlvl), who is a co-maintainer & developer of the module. For full functionality, you’ll need to wait for …

Do YouTube With Drupal
A YouTube clone? In Drupal? Of course! I was asked by the organizers of the Do It With Drupal seminar if I would like the opportunity to create a YouTube clone in Drupal and talk about that process with the community. Of course! Do It With Drupal will take place in New Orleans, from December …

I upgraded Views Slideshow to Drupal 6 this week. That means you can now continue to create a slideshow from any view, now easier than ever, thanks to Views 2! In the Drupal 5 version, you had to set global settings for all slide shows, and it was a bit of a pain to configure …

Assuming the administrator gives access, anonymous users may now create and compete with characters at 5 Second Game (which is powered by the module of the same name).

I sometimes hear a complaint that jQuery Media can’t be used for both audio and video on the same site, because it makes the player too large. This is not true at all. Although it does currently require some finagling. I plan to reconfigure the module soon to make it easier to pull in the …

Don’t get me wrong; I like Garland. It’s sleek, it has an easy-to-configure color scheme, it works well out of the box.

Drupal, WordPress, or Joomla? (A Trick Question)
I was recently asked my opinion of whether to use Drupal or one of those other ones. I was going to just write a flippant reply, when I realized I’m not actually qualified to answer the question. I have never personally used WordPress. I read a comparison of it and Drupal some years ago, and …
