The menu system in Drupal 6 has been completely rewritten, but most of the changes are under the hood.
A blog of sorts

Download it. Find bugs. Let them know.
As the release notes point out, Views 2 is still a couple of weeks off at least, but that doesn't mean we can't have fun trying out all the other goodies in 6.

Details here: http://upcoming.yahoo.com/event/419074/
Groups page here: http://groups.drupal.org/north-west-uk
I'm planning to do a talk on Drupal 6 theming, to have a look at what's new, what's cool and why themes can be made of CSS and CSS alone. I wasn't planning on being quite so busy, but I should be able to put something together before then... (he hopes!)
See you there!

Quick fix for for feed.png in IE6
Submitted by mcjim on Fri, 25/01/2008 - 08:42

BarCamp Manchester

It's BarCamp Manchester right at the beginning of March (which doesn't actually seem all that far away) and I'll be going. This will be my first BarCamp but as I'm sure most of the GeekUp crowd will be there, there'll be a lot of familiar faces.

I'm hoping to put together a talk on Drupal 6 theming for the February meetup. See you there!
Short Route to Madness: Theme Block Chaos
Submitted by mcjim on Sun, 06/01/2008 - 17:03
Usually when I create a Drupal site I set the admin theme to Garland: it saves time if I don't have to theme screens only a few people will use. But not all the admin pages will use Garland, so one time I started using Taxonomy Theme to encourage them to appear the way I wanted.
