TypeHost is listed on oDesk, Elance, GetAFreelancer, Scriptlance, and other freelance web development sites as a service provider. The Company has released the Drupala Installation Profile as an open source site building platform, and supports its continued development by building social bookmarking & blog websites on the framework for clients.

Our current work involves preparation for the new Drupal 7 release and using Drupal 6.x / Acquia Drupal to build social networking, blog, publishing, news, & information sites. We are working with the Drupala Installation Profile for social bookmarking sites, and developing with Ubercart for ecommerce solutions. TypeHost is upgrading the Drupala Installation Profile for Drupal 6 & 7 support to include easier “one-click” database installation of complete site templates, multi-site hosted communities, as well as adding more social networking functions like video/image sharing, and new themes to the distro. Coming Soon: more online themes and demos, a feedback & technical support section, an update to the drupala.com website, and customized Drupala Installation Profile web design packages.

Senontario Theme released for Drigg Sites & Drupala Profile

October 31, 2009 by typehost

Releasing the "Senontario" theme for Drigg 5.x sites and the Drupala Installation Profile. This theme is a port of the Drupala theme, and changes the layout colors to a lemon & lime balance. The right sidebar region is extended to 335px for larger video embeds, and there is also an extended header region. New ad space of 486x60px & 335x300px also added. Cross-browser tested in FF 3.5, IE6, IE7, Opera, Safari, & Chrome.

Download: Senontario Theme for Drigg 5.x sites
Demo: http://demo1.drupala.com

Note:
In order to use this with the Drupala Installation Profile, the image sizes of the slideshow will have to be reduced to 490 x 192 px. The titles, bylines, and block text of the slideshows will also have to be shortened. An easy way is to just filter for 'slide' content types in admin/content/node, and then unpublish and delete those, using the template given below to create new slides with your own images and links to site content. Add video from YouTube in the block, and code for the header ad in the page.tpl.php file.

DowntownHost – Recommended Shared, Linux Web Hosting for Drupal

July 17, 2009 by typehost

Over the years, I have used Yahoo, Hostway, Sharkspace, and Godaddy, sequentially, for my web hosting services until finally changing to Downtownhost in 2008. Yahoo was great during the Web 1.0 years, but became expensive in comparison to other services and I migrated to Hostway around 2001, using its servers to run an online art gallery for over 6 years. When I launched a new web development company in 2006, I shifted to SharkSpace hoping to use their reseller hosting package as a good way to manage disk space for multiple clients, but the price and disk space could not compare to shared hosts like Godaddy. (For reference, $24.95 per month vs. $5 per month.) I signed up for a Wild West reseller account thinking that would be a better option for hosting client sites cheaply – big mistake. I had innumerable problems with Godaddy doing CMS development and hosting multiple domains on the same shared space. So many problems in fact, I decided I could not offer the services responsibly to my clients or even use the disk space for my own sites.

Drupal Overview - Sun Developer Network:

In this video, Kuldip Oberoi of Sun Developer Network TV (SDNtv) interviews Scott Mattoon, Chief IT Architect for the US Western Region at Sun Microsystems, about developing web sites with the Drupal Content Management System (CMS). The two discuss Open Source software for enterprise & non-profit groups, CMS architecture, modularity, Drupal's evolution & community, Web 2.0, Google Page Rank, coding standards (PHP/CSS/JavaScript), mySQL database management, and other topics, making it a good technical introduction for choosing Drupal as a CMS for your website.

TypeHost Web Development created the website SEO-MIX with the Drupal 5.x platform, including a custom theme, magazine section, community blog portal, and social network, by using third party modules such as Views, Panels, CCK, & Drigg. SEO-Mix is a social bookmarking site where users can post SEO links to their web pages and web reviews of their favorite sites. The site is a beta prototype for our development work in Installation Profiles for Drupal, and we are releasing it as a free template with MySQL database map to speed up the construction of portal sites on the platform.
