Recently, CommonPlaces presented a conference on 'Reduce the Cost of Each New Website With Drupal Multi-Site"

Drupal’s elegant multi-site capabilities give businesses a repeatable framework on which to run many websites from a single installation of Drupal—enabling centralized system management while reducing the incremental cost of additional websites to almost zero. The benefits of multi-site include streamlined maintenance, lower operational costs, and the ability to target market segments in a more controlled way.

Fun to play with. Fun to build.

I am interested in promoting our services to the Greater Victoria and Vancouver area for the purpose of generating new clients and feedback. I am committed to networking and distributing some cards and presentations upon Ramanath's return from Washington DC at the Drupal Con. He will be bringing back some fresh and new ideas as to how we can work better to colalborate with others and present our services, as well as some more knowledge and interesting research. I am realizing that without even trying to promote our services interested people pop up in the most unexpected places!

We are seeking another host for our websites who provides a quality and sustainable service.

The host will have systems powered by alternative energy. We are looking for Web Hosting that is 100% Alternative Energy Powered

When re-designing a theme, often the best solution to simply edit the elements in the style.css file: the main style sheet used in a drupal theme. There are often multiple css files, referred to by the theme depending on the page. Also, a module may have it's own css files - there are often 10 to 20 css files used for a single webpage.

Design Companies and Drupal Themes

It is difficult to find someone who can design a theme and administer a drupal website, so you may need to hire a professional organization and divide the work: a graphic designer can re-design the website style, then a drupal programmer can convert this into a drupal theme.
