Does anyone know what Facebook module Brazen Careerist is using? Is it a contrib module from Drupal.org or something homegrown? (Apologies if this has been answered previously).

I asked because I have used Facebook Connect in a project and found it to be clunkier than I expected. The secret sauce must really be in the custom code. Brazen is such a great example of what can be done with Drupal!

We did something really radical today and stopped featuring blog posts on the sidebar of Brazen. Instead, we're featuring trending discussion because all of the conversations you guys have is where the real value is for anybody trying to build their network. What do you think? Are you happy or sad? Anyone want to punch me in the neck? We want to know...

This site is too much like a self-help book on infinite feedback. I want customers for my flooring business in the Denver Metropolitan area! There, see how easy it is to state your business, and go on? So far, I haven't seen one single person in here who doesn't sound like a patient at a phychiatric clinic. For $60,000 a year I'll cut through the nonsense at your company like Genghis Khan raiding villages in China, if you want to hire me. Like what you hear? It's called "clarity", "sense of purpose", and "maturity", all of which seem to be lacking here. Just say what you mean, and mean what you say, that's all I ask.

okay all, another question for module developers - how did you learn to develop drupal modules? beyond things learning materials (e.g. videos, books). In other words, it's one thing to read/learn about module development, another to actually do it.
Did you offer to co-maintain an existing module? Did you dream up a module (if so, how? did you find an idea in a forum or just personal need?)? I'd like to get started but feel like everything's being done / is way too complicated for a beginner.

Believing in your own ideas is the first step - but truly 'golden' things will be recognized as such by the bigger community. @Jenna's comment is good; my first 'module' was done this way.

Trying to get back in the Web Dev game. Have people who want simple sites done, my graphic skills lack. Tips on where I should start at? Utilize templates? Learn specific languages? Photoshop tutorials? Point me in the right direction!

So my advice would be to look at sites (or even artwork, architecture, nature, whatever inspires you) and take note of what you find visually appealing, then figure out what's attractive about it. When you know what you want your designs to look like, experiment with the software to see how you can achieve it, and search for specific tutorials when you get stuck or if you need a particular effect.
Sounds a bit fuzzy, I know, but "training your eye for what looks good" and "practice" are the best tools I can recommend.

Now I just send him everything and no more worries. I get back PSDs that I slice up and turn into fancy websites.

I'm volunteering for a small non-profit in desperate need of a new website. The website content will be maintained by non-technical staff that probably shouldn't be allowed access to edit all of the code. Has anyone found a good solution for this? Any good frameworks out there to develop a site myself?
Aaron Coates:
Would have to be Drupal for me. Role based users and CCK (content creation kit) make it ideal.

If you've got product manageent/e-commerce requirements, Drupal's a great, very flexible choice. However, if getting it up fast is the most important thing, it's also worth looking into Joomla, as it's a bit more "pick up and play" than Drupal.

I have developed an ecommerce site over the past 4 or 5 years, http://www.minxeveningwear.co.uk and as my skill levels improve I try and enhance the site further. Believe it or not the category and product pages are all static with some dynamic content being puled, stock availability etc. I desperately need to migrate this site into a catalog of some sort but I don't want to lose the page templates that I currently use. I wondered if there was a way to do this?

You might want to check out Magento, which is super powerful as shopping carts go, but in my experience is very difficult to theme. I myself use Drupal and Ubercart, which is easier to theme, and I feel easier to use for an admin, but features-wise doesn't pack the same wallop.

Does anyone use iWeb as a design tool for their website? I'm familiar with the program, but sure could use a lot of support. Also, I'm trying to understand how I can upload a site I've built with iWeb to my newly registered domain name. I'm trying to launch a personal/professional site by June 1 and need to figure out these details.

Often as not this is because you somehow got a blank line at the end of the referenced PHP file.

Lightning round:
Display: block; float: left;
or
Cross-browser inline-block?
Jenna Tollerson:
This doesn't answer the question exactly but technically if you float an element it is automatically display:block; Adding it is overkill.:)
