Zero One Design was founded as a web design company in 1997, in Victoria, British Columbia. Right from the beginning, the partners envisioned creating a service that could present uniquely Canadian arts and culture: Zero One has been telling Canada’s stories ever since. I helped the partners find an updated look and feel for their organization using classic imagery with a modern slant.
My friends at Zero One Design have just begun beta testing on their new app Madrona.
“Madrona is an open source museum collections management system written for the community, by the community. Featuring an intuitive design and ground breaking media and internet integration, Madrona creates a whole new standard for collection management.”
I’ve seen a few people on drupal.org how to implement Facebook Share and asking for modules, etc. However with the share widget provided by Facebook it’s really very easy to implement FB Share at the template level. To make it really easy, use CCK.

Recently I was asked to summarize the parts of a drupal theme. I came up with the following semi-literate guide to my own theme framework, sp0xx6 for Drupal 6. This is not a very technical guide but I think it’s none the less important to document my perspective, especially for newcomers to drupal who are having a hard time with the way information is presented on drupal.org.
Please note: The text below makes reference to a set of theme files for Drupal themes. That theme is sp0xx6. You can download sp0xx6 from google code. For free. To keep. Forever. Drupal rocks! Thanks to everyone on drupal.org that makes my life easier and more interesting.
The .info file registers your theme with drupal along with your theme’s regions (area’s content appears in) your CSS and javascript.
Your template file allows you to customize practically everything in your theme. You can rewrite the appearance of forms, lists, links, taxonomies and add all sorts of functionality.
I am extremely happy to announce the launch of Arthur Vickers new website that coincides with Arthurs gift of The Leadership Desk to the Premiers Office of the Province of British Columbia.
Sunrise Soya’s new Drupal based site was created by our team at Veratta Technologies. Design by Peter Figasinski.
pl00 is my wordpress theme. You’re looking at it. And pl00 v2 is the latest version of this theme.
pl00 is a minimal theme that is easy to customize
Why did I create pl00? Because I was sick of digging through lots of code to make little changes to the stock themes provided with wordpress. pl00 uses a tiny bit of css, most of which is from my lightweight stylesheet template called ‘lifto’. I can’t take all of the credit for pl00 though – the tabs are straight from the grandmaster himself, Doug Bowman.
keywords:
fixed width, three columns, valid CSS, valid XHTML, white, simple, widgets, widget ready, 3columns, right sidebars, SEO friendly, gravatars, hover effects, text-only (well, mostly text-only).
Here are some extra vanity shots of pl00 on flickr. Sexy!
Lately I’ve been trying to understand how AJAX is changing the experience that Drupal users will be having in the near future. This is particularly important as a Drupalista given the redesign currently under way. Here are some great looking modules that should be ready a bit sooner than the redesign. Warning: these modules might not be ready for primetime yet.
