Motiv Designs

It has been a long time coming, mainly because I run several Drupal sites under one multi-site, and had to update the main install first, but I have finally updated the site to Drupal 6. Drupal 5 is basically out of date at this point, as community development on Drupal 7 is already in the works. There are some basic enhancements that have been made to Drupal 6 that make it a much better CMS, right out of the box so to speak.

As you may have already known, the Google SOAP API key that powered the Digital Point keyword tracker and many other keyword ranking tools on the web was discontinued by Google on August 31st 2009. Immediately there was a frenzy on the Digital Point forums about this. Digital Point owner Shawn Hogan was quick to jump on the scene and said he would be looking for a fix as soon as possible.

In an effort to reorganize our website better, we are creating some new category pages throughout the site. We have also added some new features that we hope you will enjoy, including a free software library. We have outlined the other category changes after the jump.

I have started on a new Drupal project site. This time around, I am going to be trying my skills at setting up an Ubercart store. I am anxious to try it out as I have heard good things about it, and I am looking to get away from Zencart as e-commerce solution for a client of mine.

After a long downtime, we have relaunched our tech blog, The Supa Wide Web. We have already started writing some original stories surrounding the Windows 7 beta, including Windows 7 beta download locations, and how to get a Windows 7 beta key. We plan on bringing as much technology content to your desktop as possible about the latest gizmos, gadgets, hardware, and software out there.

Recently we were got a website consulting gig to help redesign a Zen Cart store and optimize the website for search engines. It turns out that Zen Cart is not as difficult as we expected it to be. It is just like any other CMS really. There are some install files, some templates, and it also has a bunch of plugins available as well. The project did not start and end how we had planned, but it ended up being a great learning experience for both my Drupal development and future Zen Cart development projects.

What is The Best Open-Source CMS?

I have tested several Content Management Systems and Drupal has shown itself to be the best from many angles. There are several great CMS applications, but there are several features that make Drupal far superior, while there are also some problems at the core that still need to be addressed for the CMS to really take a hold on the market.

It seems that I renamed one of my contact images and forgot to upload the new image to my server. You should see the new images in your fractal Myspace layouts now :) I am going to be working on some new layouts soon, so there will be some fresh new fractals for your profile coming very shortly!

We have finished porting our original html site into Drupal. This should make for easy addition of new sections, dynamic fractal image and fractal video galleries, and lots of other great features. You can now register to the website and gain extra benefits like Free Fractal Backgrounds and first dibs on New Fractal Art Designs through our newsletter.
