I had to try this, mostly because of the name. Turns out to be an excellent shopping cart system. I now have these available, plug and play.

Lately I've been working on an interesting project - a time management system for one of the organizations I work with at UAB. The need was to have a system to track the hours of the 50+ employees in this organization, and then run reports that calculated the hours automatically. All their work is done on a computer (survey research), so having the system online is the way to go. Nothing out there did exactly what we wanted (custom calculations for production hours vs. logged hours, etc) so for the first time in a long time I fired up Wordpad and started cranking out some handwritten code.

When designing web sites, it's easy to get caught up in your design process and the anticipation of publishing the site. One of the dangers of this is that you might forget to complete some important testing to make sure that all users can see your content as you intended. Here at WeCre8, we test for compatibility with the major browsers for every site we publish. We test Internet Explorer versions 6-8, Firefox versions 3 and 4beta, Google Chrome, and Apple's Safari browser.

I just wanted to drop a quick post to thank all those who like WeCre8.com on Facebook. If any of you are interested in a free blog on WeCre8, with all the Facebook integration already built in so that your friends can "Like" your blog posts, please let me know.

Ever wonder how sites that have the "like" and "recommend" buttons on their page do it? In the Drupal content management system for the web that we install, it's done with a module called "FB_Social". FB_Social adds the "Like", "Recommend", or "Share" buttons on any content type you choose.

Creating a content management system installation must include providing an interface that meets the skill level of the users. One shouldn't expect the user to know HTML in order to make a well formatted post! They should be using an interface with formatting options they are familiar with. That means a WYSISYG - a "what you see is what you get" interface. At WeCre8, we install FCKEditor and it's newest version - CKEditor.

Let's face it - Building a truly useful site for clients requires more than just giving them access to create their own text. What if they want to link a file, or even put in a picture into their posts? In order to do that, clients need an easy way to upload and organize their files. Enter the IMCE module...

This album was automatically created, thanks to a great combination of modules that work together. We already had the lightbox module installed on the site, so I added Image, Image import, and the Acidfree Albums modules, and checked all the boxes in Administration to make them work together. Then I uploaded a folder of snow pictures from my Blackberry from back in Feb. Viola - gallery, thumbnails, and lightbox slideshow. These are great for clients who need to display large numbers of pictures in an attractive way.

Ever wonder how designers make those slick looking slide shows and image galleries on the best looking sites? The answer is Lightbox - or in this case, the free Lightbox2 module from Drupal.
