I am teaching a course right now to my coworkers about the fundamentals of web design. As I teach each session, I will publish my presentation slides with annotations. You can also see the topics I am covering in each class.

Drupal has a system of input filters that allows you to granularly control exactly what type of markup your content editors can publish. This comes down to things like which HTML tags they are allowed to use and if they can reference JavaScript/CSS files with style tags. No problem, just slap on Drupal’s built in HTML filer to kick out all that harmful stuff, and let them publish away.

InnerFade Plugin

I am just starting to experiment with using jQuery in my Drupal theming work. My most recent endeavor was to use the awesome "http://medienfreunde.com/lab/innerfade/">InnerFade plugin to get a div with some images to display a slideshow and rotate the pics through.

Just because I tend to forget these things, I am putting it down on the site so it is immortalized !!! This small snippet of CSS is creating a fixed width centered layout, without using an outer containing div. Because we all love nice meaningful markup and we all hate div-itis.

Opacity is a CSS 3 property, and one that I tend to forget about, but if used properly, it pwns.
