How to Get Your Mail Past the Inbox Bouncers - ClickZ: "Once the ISP verifies your identification through authentication, it applies what it knows about your sender reputation (mainly, how many spam complaints your e-mail generates) to determine whether to send your e-mail to the bulk folder, the inbox, or the virtual wastebasket. Unauthenticated e-mail is more likely to be rejected or sent to a bulk folder. All senders should use multiple authentication protocols, because ISPs use different protocols, including SPF, Sender ID, DomainKeys, and DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM). Authenticating your e-mail several different ways means your message is more likely to get recognized no matter which protocol the receiving ISP uses."

Drupal to Wordpress: The Good, The Bad and the Exploited | CenterNetworks: "The admin panel has been one of my biggest frustrations with Drupal. The Drupal admin feels like it was developed by a developer while the Wordpress admin feels like it was developed by an end-user. With thousands of posts, it was just difficult to manage. We have a variety of excellent contributors and I’d love to be able to let them post their own stories but never was able to get it working in Drupal. Actually I could have easily created an account for each contributor but the usability was at a point that I feared that their stories might never get posted correctly. The other two major factors that influenced my decision were that the admin can handle timed postings and auto-save. I can’t tell you how many posts I’ve lost over the last two years because I accidentally clicked something and lost the entire post" & What’s An Exploit Worth To Your Google Traffic? | HTMLCenter Web Development Blog: "Earlier this month CenterNetworks was converted from Drupal to Wordpress.

Structured data is the new search engine optimization | Dries Buytaert: "Two days ago, Google announced "Rich Snippets", a move that is sure to shake up the SEO industry, and cause hundreds of thousands of people to reconsider their skepticism of the semantic web... Initially, Google's adoption of RDFa will disrupt the current approaches to Search Engine Optimization (SEO). With Google entering the RDFa game, the words 'semantic markup' will get redefined. Every webmaster wanting to improve click-through rates, reduce bounce rates, and improve conversation rates, can no longer ignore RDFa or Microformats. Structured data is the new SEO."

Comparison of Lightbox-type modules | drupal.org: "There are various modules in Drupal which provide 'lightbox' type functionality. These modules usually use JavaScript to overlay images on the current page when clicked upon, which has the advantage of being able to show users the large version of a thumbnail image while keeping them on the same page. However, there are a number of these modules available, each quite similar but some have more features, while others are more lightweight or have better browser support. This article attempts to do a comparison between these modules to allow you to choose which one best suits your needs. For the purposes of this comparison, the 'lightbox' type functionality where content can be displayed in a container overlayed on the current page, whether it be for images, iframed content or videos, shall be referred to as a 'lightbox'."

Create a simple image gallery in Drupal 6 using CCK and Views | James Tombs: "To do a bulk upload of images, the best way is to probably create a node type for gallery rather than image. Then if you wanted to group the images, you could create a new gallery node type. You would obviously need to change the image CCK values from 1 to unlimited, then use a module like http://drupal.org/project/image_fupload to upload multiple images at once to the gallery. The only other alternative, is uploading the images to the server and creating a custom script to create a new node for each image, which could be done if the image title was the filename of the image."

In your windows hosts file (c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) create an additional entry for 127.0.0.1 (I use {project}.draft.local, cookies are disabled on some browsers if the host name doesn't have have two dots when not com/net/org/edu/etc...). Turn on NameVirtualHost *:80 in your apache configuration, then create a VirtualHost entry like <virutalhost> with a ServerName entry using the name you specified in the hosts file. This also supports XDEBUG under PDT for source level debugging. Remember to disable the Zend optimizer in your php.ini and install xdebug as a Zend extension for this to work. You can get the latest xdebug dll from xdebug.org."

SEO issues with Views 2 | groups.drupal.org: "Edit your view and add an argument of type Node: nid. Set it to 'display all values', validator of 'Node', and argument type of 'Node ID'. Set 'Action to take if argument does not validate' to 'Hide view / Page not found (404)'. Update the argument and save the view. Now you should be able to visit 'frontpage' and see your view. 'frontpage/newpage' should show a valid node. 'frontpage/nopage' should throw a 404." & Handling custom 403 and 404 error pages in Drupal - Blog: "Customerror module skirts round the issues of having nodes as error pages. The module makes error handling pages available as custom paths inside Drupal. These aren’t nodes, so we have no issues there."

Flag - Drupal Module Reviews and Ratings: "Flag is a flexible flagging system that is completely customizable by the administrator. Using this module, the site administrator can provide any number of flags for nodes, comments, or users. Some possibilities include bookmarks, marking important, friends, or flag as offensive. With extensive views integration, you can create custom lists of popular content or keep tabs on important content. Flags may be per-user, meaning that each user can mark an item individually, or global, meaning that the item is either marked or it is not marked, and any user who changes that changes it for everyone."

Drupal Charting | Lullabot: "I created some numeric and text data using CCK fields and auto-filled them using the Devel Generate module, then tried to chart my data in various modules.

Your Reputation Can Throttle Your Delivery - ClickZ - Print Article: "If you are an e-mail sender with a spotty or poor reputation, you should know by now that the big ISPs are more likely to block your e-mail or to deliver it to subscribers' bulk folders. Reputation is the key driver of inbox deliverability. A Return Path study found 77 percent of e-mail was blocked at the ISP level because of sender reputation problems, compared with 17 percent for content issues, and 6 percent for dubious URLs. But it can be hard to know what your reputation is. Aside from Return Path's proprietary Sender Score ranking service, reputation is hard to quantify."
