Advantage Labs The Art & Science of Online Progress

Another jam-packed week at Lab Hours as the group grows!

• Don is new to Lab Hours, and has just had his inherited Drupal 4.6 site upgraded to Drupal 5. He's learning the ropes of our install profile, and getting up to speed on all things Drupal 5!. He created a reviews content type for his plays and events, and learned how to set up users to work with their own profiles. He also learned about "50 other things".
• Steve is working an image gallery.
  

Almost everyone has expressed interest in sending HTML formatted email newsletters.  Almost everyone is skittish about how such emails will look in various email clients-- for good reason.  At past Lab Hours sessions I've alluded to an online guide to CSS compatibility within various email clients, both desktop and online.  The good news is I'm finally posting this guide.  The better news is that it has been updated recently (June 11, 2008).  The not so good news is that there is little change from a year ago in terms of what is compatible and what is not. 

More fun in the sunny meeting room! Most of the members wanted to learn more about newsletter handling, so Lab Hours started out with Allie going through the modules and steps needed towards implementing a mail solution.

Another productive day at Advantage Labs HQ!
