Yes, it's been 6 months since I last posted. It is not that I haven't been doing anything Drupal, or have given up n learning, or just decided to stop writing. It's because I have a tendency to get "tunnel vision" and when that happens time slips away from me. I will try to do a recap over the trial and tribulations have had with regard to Drupal.
I just finished getting a quick'n'dirty intro to Features. I found these on YouTube.com. I have found a great many free video tutorials on YouTube. They are as follows:
I have been a bit distracted the last couple of months. As they say, "time flies when you're having fun," and that has been the case for me. I have been to busy with things to remember to come back here and write about my experiences.

I just finished spending the weekend at a Drupal Conference. I attended Drupal MidCamp that started on Thursday March 19 and finished on Sunday March 22. I had a great time and I was definately needing the comradery and the exposure that I received at camp.
This was the the third Drupal Event like this that I had attended. The first one was in Madison Wis at the end of July last year and the Fox Valley Drupal Camp that was in early September. It was so great attending the sessions, rubbing shoulders with other Drupaliers and immersing myself in the Drupal Community.
