Several months ago my brother-in-law showed up at a celebration with a musicbox for his mother. What a wonderful whimsical gift. A modern version with no key just a small electrical motor still the simple tunes bring a smile to our faces each time we hear it.

As is often the case as I ramble through my morning reading, looking and thinking about "Oh it's time for a new blog entry." I was following my nose on a new button for Facebook when a phrase and blog title caught my eye. Social Media for Law Firms. It's a natural. Lawyers are wordy people. Many times they are involved in newsworthy events. As Eddie Greenspan has made abundantly clear in Canada - the law is a battle for the hearts and minds of the public. But I have no lawyers as clients.

It started with a simple "I'm doing this site and I'm having some trouble with the theming and a couple of modules. Can you look at it?" Complicated sophisticated site that moves and pinwheels and is just gorgeous. Half way through the project, the psds for the site showed up. They didn't look very much like what we were working with. Incredibly complex permissions and roles to allow the association to communicate at a very complicated level. A rocky server move and the site went live.

Building this site for the Refrigeration Workers Local 516 took almost a year. it started out as a simple "take this brochure site and make it so we can edit ourselves." As they discovered the power of Drupal they added a job posting board, a calendar, a photo gallery, and a staff directory. The simple template we use for the site is an example of a design expanding to accommodate all the new ideas.

Stepping outside what we normally do can give us fresh insights into what we do and how we do it. I have just completed the Level 3 Occupational First Aid course. 70 hours in the classroom. Many more hours spent poring over a massive textbook. Learning. There were several moments when I wanted to chuck the course and come back to my computer and web design. But I realized that not only was there First Aid skill building going on I was learning.

Have you been dreading the upgrade from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6? Torture by water droplet? Have you heard the nightmare stories? Have you heard the quiet hallway whispers "theme upgrading doesn't work"? Then this session is for you. Develop an awareness of where the pitfalls are and how to avoid them.

This morning I ran across Adobe's new product - Business Catalyst . My first thought was "This is it. This is the product. It has finally arrived." And I am not scared.

Five years ago I sat in a small cramped room in Yaletown for the demo of a new product. It did what I did - building a website with incredible functionality. But it did it with a few cllicks of the mouse.  I walked out scared. Like Pogo in the famous cartoon strip "We met the enemy and he is us"

This simple site was developed initially as a Wordpress site to replace a simple one page domain placeholder. In transferring the design to Drupal we maintained the simple admin interface in the backend. The move positions the site for the future with a much more robust foundation. The simple design is highly optimized for SEO as well as XHTML (Strict) valid.

I discovered last night that I have three employees. Not.

But there it was. A listing of two Drupal developers and one themer. With their salary ranges which were not insignificant I might add. Still I have a lot of people that I work with but no employees. So how did this happen?
