  • Use the Termcase module to apply taxonomy formatting

    Me being happy The project I'm currently working on involves several authors writing a lot of content. They tag all articles and pages with self-entered terms (free-tagging).

As a board member of the Dutch Drupal Association and a fanatic lurker of (technical) blogs I found that I couldn't ignore the power of having a blog myself.
