Video Embed Field is a module that provides a simple interface for placing videos on your Drupal site. It works by simply providing a field of type 'Video Embed' which allows a user to paste in the link to a video from Youtube or Vimeo. The module then provides formatters to show the video and specify settings for it (for example: autoplay, width and height of player, skin color) or as a thumbnail. My hope with the module is to make videos really simple to add to any Drupal site, without a lot of configuration or headache. This blog post is a walkthrough of how to create handlers for other video services that you wish to support.

When it comes to Content Management Systems, which is better - Wordpress or Drupal? How do you know which one to use?

An issue many people have had with Omega and Delta layouts is the inability to stack regions within a zone. Word on the street is a better solution for this is coming in Omega 4, but currently this is an issue for many Omega users, and has been an issue for us here at Phase2 on a few projects now.

As a programmer, one of the things that I enjoy most is solving problems by creating new solutions. While I enjoy solving complex larger issues, I also love fixing existing problems in the form of a bug. Bugs usually have a distinct problem that needs to be solved. When I am working on a bug fix, my mind usually cannot rest until I have come up with a sufficient solution.

Last week the new Georgia.gov was unveiled, giving us a first glimpse at the Georgia Technology Authority's innovative platform built on OpenPublic. This coincides with a recent Government Technology (GovTech.com) article, “Why Big Sites Run Drupal,” which describes the benefits of Drupal for government agencies, and shows that it's not just federal agencies that are making the move to Drupal.

Building on the successful transition of OpenPublic and OpenPublish to Drupal.org new distribution packaging system, we are now releasing Open Atrium though this system. This will provide automatic packaging and direct download of Open Atrium from Drupal.org. You will of course still be able to download Open Atrium directly from http://openatrium.com

Last summer, while sitting in the East Room of the White House, I discovered that Twitter can help me hear. This experience shed light on the parallels to the principles of Open Source technology: You never know how someone may find an innovative use for existing solutions for social, human, and/or environmental good.
Robert :
Let’s face it – data is invaluable, integrations are key, and generating that information into something that will show up on a person’s browser (often) thousands of miles away in a matter of seconds is a modern miracle. However, if your site isn’t aesthetically appealing, nobody will stick around to see all the good stuff. This is where Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) come into play, and why tools such as LESS that make CSS easier to develop and revise have seen widespread adoption in web development.

For those who use Aptana, I just found its formatting tool to be very useful. It can quickly help you set your code to Drupal's Coding Standards.
