11 members were at the July 8th workshop at Manuel’s Tavern.
Mike Schinkel gave a workshop on search Engine Optimization (SEO), and shared some good tips, such as the importance of a good page title over H1 tags.
We then shared various tips such as node reference compared to node relativity.
We also went over the most used modules, and David Fugate gave an overview of the Panels module.

11 members participated in the June 10th workshop at Manuel's Tavern.
Two topics were suggested: the Views module, and the Panels module.
As everyone was interested in the Views module, we decided to have one single group on this topic.
Mike Schinkel showed us how he used Views on a web site he recently built for atvillustrated.com.
The site looks great. Mike explained how he used the powerful features in Views to organize the site in categories like makes, models, articles, and videos.
The workshop was clear, and we all learned a lot.

The next meeting is one that many have awaited for some time. We'll have no agenda; just getting together and playing around with Drupal. Bring your questions and projects. Anticipate small working groups forming around key projects of interest.

Mike Schinkel of NewClarity and Atlanta Web Entrepreneurs will be killing two birds with one stone by demonstrating:

1.) The underlying architecture of Drupal including CCK and Views, and
2.) How to debug Drupal 5.x using PhpED from NuSphere.

Hi everyone! I've posted a screencast of the Podcasting with Drupal presentation I gave at our meeting last week. You can watch it on my blog, or download it by right-clicking this link and selecting 'Save as.' The downloadable file is a 177MB and requires Quicktime to watch.

Hi Mal:

Mike Schinkel here. I've decided to move forward with using Drupal for my
client instead of WordPress. But I'd really like to find someone who can
tutor me in crash-course style on setting up Drupal and also writing themes
(it could be two different people.) I'm expecting it will take 3-6 hours,
possibly over two sessions and I can afford to pay $25 an hour. Would it
be possible for you send this out to your list of users? We are also
looking at the possibility of using Drupal for Atlanta-Web.org's website.
