Presenting at the Software Development Network

My CMS can kick your CMS's ass

This evening I gave a presentation at the Software Development Network about Drupal. Because the seminar is mainly focused on application development and closed source, I was the odd one out talking about PHP. All other topics were DotNetNuke, Delphi, Umbraco, Silverlight, SharePoint, etc. That said, I was rather surprised to find an enthusiast audience who were impressed when I told them that large sites as The White House, The World Bank, Ahold and even Java are running on Drupal!

Use the Termcase module to apply taxonomy formatting

Several tags

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).
