On this page I list websites and projects of friends and family, some of my own projects and other sites I like. This page is work and progress and will be updated when I find a new good resource and feel like doing so.
The Most Incomplete List of Drupal Sites
Posted: Wed 11/28/2007 by ramiroInspired by Dries Buytaert's regular announcements of new Drupal sites, I did some (re)search on which news sites, universities, organizations, companies, musicians, celebrities, communities, software projects, etc. are using Drupal for their websites. The result is the following list of sites, that impressed me somehow. Of course the list is far from complete, so feel free to post Drupal sites you like in the comments.
Bands, Musicians and Celebrities
- Avril Lavigne
- Jennifer Lopez | The Official Jennifer Lopez Site
- Britney Spears | Blackout Magazine - Britney.Com - Jive Records
- Tori Amos Home | The Official Tori Amos Site
- Grateful Dead | Official Site of the Grateful Dead
- Ozzy Osbourne Home | The Official Ozzy Osbourne Site
- Moby
- Crosby, Stills and Nash

Blog Carnival: Goals with my Blog - Results
Posted: Thu 07/05/2007 by ramiroBlogschrott's blog carnival Ziele mit dem eigenen Blog (Goals with your blog) ended yesterday. 73 blogs participated which is a huge success. 14-year old (!) Yannick, who initiated this blog carnival, also wrote a post about his goals so there are actually 74 posts about this topic. Except for my post all other posts are in German. So if you speak German - I know that many of my readers do - go and read them when you find the time. The links are listed below.
Highlighting Hard Coded Active Links with jQuery
Posted: Tue 07/03/2007 by ramiroWhen using Drupal's menu system for linking pages on your site the corresponding menu link gets the CSS class active when the referred page is being displayed. To make use of this to improve a site's usability you can highlight this link by assigning a different color, background color, etc. Drupal's l() function also takes care to add the active class to currently displayed links.
On this site I have to blocks in the sidebar (Recommended Articles, Drupal Modules) with hard-coded links to internal pages using plain HTML. My main reason not to use menu items is because I am too lazy and I don't use the l() function to not increase the number of database queries more than necessary.
