Sites Updated with Themes

So I FINALLY did something that has been a long time coming.  I update my Drupal sites MyActivityPals.com and BrowSweat.com with better themes. 
MyActivityPals is still using a Zen subtheme, but I’ve learned enough about themes to update it so blocks are more distinct and the block title is a different color.

BrowSweat is using Picture Reloaded.  I like this theme and I will probably use it again.  It’s very easy to setup. :)

Launch of new site BrowSweat.com

I’ve launched BrowSweat.com and it is ready to start using.

Modules that I used in developing this include:

• CAPTCHA
  • reCAPTCHA – web service to use advanced CAPTCHA
• CCK
• Mailing/Contact Modules
  • Contact User Anon – (CAPTCHA enabled) Allows Anonymous users to contact registered users (as long as they provide an e-mail)
  • Mime Mail
  • SimpleNews – For newsletters
  • Tell A Friend
  • User Register Notify – Admin gets emailed when a new user registers
• Content Profile – profiles using CCK so users can add images to their “Portfolio”
• Imaging Modules
  • FileField
  • ImageCache
  • ImageField – combined with CCK and Content Profiles to give users a “Portfolio”.
    

There is also a custom theme based on Zen. This included implementing Printing the Description (or Title) Below the Image post so that Image Descriptions are displayed below the image.

CAPTCHA

I like this module quit a bit!  I like how easy it is to add CAPTCHA to a form through the administrative features.  Just make sure you have the checkbox “Add CAPTCHA administration links to forms” turned on.  It’s pretty sweet.

The one issue I can say about it is that there are times when even I can’t read what the CAPTCHA says.  I just do a refresh on it to get a new one…no problem.
