I'm trying to make this website work well enough to keep people informed of Robert's progress on Monday. I don't think I'll succeed.
It's a good time for me to bring some perspective to this effort. True, I would like to avoid countless telephone calls on Monday. I was hoping to have the site built out so that I could ask someone else to post updates for me. That way the burden of updates could be shifted so that anyone who wants one could get it without my having to post them.
To learn about Drupal 7 I'm going through Tom Geller's course, Drupal 7 Essential Training, on Lynda.com. In the video about creating user accounts, Tom talks about the site developer's need to understand why the site is being created in order to decide what policies to set for new users:
The business of waiting is not one either Robert or I come by naturally - we both "just want to know already" and move on toward doing something about it. From the beginning, this melanoma thing has not cooperated with our need to move things along.
The mysterious appearance of my Drupal feeds on the bottom of my blog entries is a welcome sight. I found it today, in the Triptych region at the bottoms of the pages.
Moving right along, then, I'll see if I can make it appear on the front page too. I think it's more useful there.
