After experiencing some challenges with a Drupal developer, the owner of TheLegalBalance.com looked for a new developer. I was hired to take the existing theme design and make it the Drupal fee-base community she wanted.

How do you make the default installation of Drupal into what you want? How do you know which modules you will need? How do you organize your content? How do you get your content into your site?

The USAID Knowledge Driven Microenterprise Development (KDMD) Portal is a Drupal-based portal of sites built on a single-installation of Drupal 6.x. My role with the QED Group includes both liaising with QED’s web development vendor during the site development process and helping to build internal Drupal capacity among the KDMD team.

Have you ever wanted to land on a node and have a block appear showing another node(s) that shares the same vocabulary term? This is easy enough if you only have a small predictable number of nodes and terms. You could simply create a series of view blocks that show all nodes with the term you want and then assign the block to the specific node. But, what if you wanted this block process to work when there was an undetermined number of nodes and terms? And what if you didn't want your client to have to create a block (manually or via a view) and assign the block each time a term was added?

In this short article I am going to explore the idea of node access in Drupal and different ways to view it.
