Drupal Webinar: 45 Modules in 45 Minutes
Last week, I did a webinar with the team at Acquia. The webinar was called, "45 Modules in 45 Minutes".
During this session, we walked … jogged … okay, actually we ran through 45 of the best and most popular modules in 45 minutes.
Drupal is a great CMS, but not all features come right out of the box. There are thousands and thousand of modules available for Drupal 7. Figuring out which modules to use can be a real challenge!
In this webinar, you'll get an overview of 45 of the most important modules.

Should I Re-use Existing Drupal Fields?
Sometimes we're able to give really clear advice: "Do this!" or "Don't do that!"
This is not going to be one of those blog posts.
Drupal gives you the ability to re-use fields. If you have an "Image" field, you could choose to use that same field on every content type on your site.
However, it's not always clear whether re-using fields is a good idea. Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't.
Here's an overview of the advantages and disadvantages to consider before re-using Drupal fields.
