Drupal

Today I made some major changes to theFree Wiki top navigation menu, enabling people to quickly sort the wikis by cutom criteria such as license, programing language, whether or not a database is required and what type of database is used. I have also spent a lot of time testing out Drupal 4.7 beta 5. Once the 4.7 stable release is out, I am going to upgrade to this version as it has a lot of very nice features like tagging posts rather than categorizing them. And that is just the beginning. It will be a stellar upgrade across the board for all the sites. This will be a major change and will create a lot more easy navigation and will also allow me to more easily add a lot more ways to have the information filtered and sorted on all the sites.

Today I spent quite a while working with my account on Technorati. I claimed five of my blogs (Free Music Software, Anonymous Photo, Free Wiki, Free the Sounds and Free Language). It takes a while to do it all properly, but I am hoping that this will drive traffic to my sites - traffic that will be people looking for this info that I provide! So it works all around. It is a good idea to use this sort of service because it is free and it can considerably improve both your placement with the search engines, as well as driving relevant traffic to your site. I also worked quite a bit on the new Free Reality, which I will release this week and which will use Drupal instead of Geeklog. This is the last site to migrate over to Drupal! Other sites are in the works, but I have to continue updating the current ones before I get too involved in new ones. Tomorrow I am going to claim My China Blog, add another software to Free Music Software and add a bunch of stuff to Free Language. Also, I will write some here about the benefits of Feedburner, which is free.
