Unfortunately, I'm going to be moving on from Ruder Finn on November 7th. However, on the bright side, this can/will provide me with enough time to do the massive amounts of updates that this poor site has been missing. As a 'showcase' site of my talents and good deeds, this site is lackluster and boring.

I am beyond excited to be able to chip away at this site once again.
I'm starting over from scratch

$first_terms = taxonomy_get_tree(1,0,-1,1);
foreach($first_terms as $tax_arg){
foreach( $node->taxonomy as $tax_arg2){
if($tax_arg2->name==$tax_arg->name){
print $tax_arg->name;
}
}
}

Condition:
- PHPtemplate.engine functions properly. (2007 version)
- node.tpl.php can execute functions from template.php
- Block Region page refuses to display updated regions.
- mytheme_regions() syntax is correct.

Questions:
- How is this even possible?
- Has someone tampered with the core?
- Human error?

Solution:
To be determined. I will write a more lengthy article about this, once I get some sleep.

This site continues to be a guinea pig for my paid projects and I'm happy to report that there are a few more modules that I'm genuinely happy with.

At first, I thought that this module was a gimmicky, corporate funded crap machine. Fortunately for everyone, it's a really nice Project/Management and Business module suite that has more pros then cons. There are a few features that I'd really like to see implemented, but this is neither the time nor the place for me to discuss. More soon.

Fortunately, if you have been using Firefox 2 (and up), you are probably unaware of any image displaying, png issues. This is entirely because Firefox complies with the web standard for displaying html and css content. This is troublesome news if you are a modern day web designer.

If you were throwing a party for three hundred people, and the majority of them were handicapped, wouldn't you want to install a ramp or something? That's why most web designers cater to Internet Explorer. We need to allow everyone access to the party, without ruining the moment.
