My first mobile site, in Drupal of course

Submitted by Kasper Souren on July 8, 2011 - 21:58

In 2008 I built my first Drupal site, for the furniture business of my family. The site proved to be a big success and we started some other furniture sites as well later on. I also worked on many other Drupal sites and the web in general hasn't been standing still. So last year we decided it was time for an upgrade. Not as easy as thought with a site that is ranking extremely well for a wide range of keywords. It also appeared more difficult to get to a new design.

guaka: usually I prefer no-www but apparently http://www.industree.org/ has already been indexed like that for 10 years so we'll stick with it #SEO

Support for Dutch sites in Drupal Service Links

Submitted by Kasper Souren on March 20, 2010 - 20:59

For my little project site about swimming pool construction I decided I needed some way to spread links better over Dutch sites. So I hacked around a little bit in Drupal's Service Links module and I just uploaded some files to support nujij en eKudos. I want to add some more Dutch sites, but there ain't that many it seems.

Moving my blog from WordPress to Drupal

Submitted by Kasper Souren on February 22, 2010 - 16:40

WordPress is a great blogging platform. I've been using it for a couple of years now for my blog. However, with some small exceptions I haven't really dived deeper into it. Since most of my professional time (and a lot of my hobby time) goes into Drupal I started looking into moving my blog to Drupal. I've also been thinking about how I want to publish more about the work I've been doing.

memcache doesn't necessarily speed up your Drupal sites

Submitted by Kasper Souren on January 25, 2010 - 01:50

Sites that show up quickly on a user's screen tend to keep the user's attention for longer and also rank better in Google. So when listening to the excellent Lullabot Podcast 80: Top 40 Drupal Modules Revisited I was caught by Drupal experts stating that Memcache would even speed up your site if it's not a high traffic site. It could off-load the database. I decided to give it a try on a relatively low traffic site of one of my clients.
