Building Drupal Forums at AASHE

Downgrading MacPorts PHP from 5.3 to PHP 5.2
ThursdayOct 22,2009
I ran into the same problem as bangpound when I wanted to downgrade from PHP 5.3 on MacPorts to Drupal 6. Although Drupal 6.14 supports PHP 5, when I set up a new install, install.php became a sea of "function ereg() is deprecated."
I don't have Macports in SVN and instead just do "sudo port install
1. sudo port deactivate php5
2. sudo port install php52 +mysql5 (this probably wasn't available when he wrote the initial blog post)

How to Move a Drupal Site to a New Host Without Going Crazy

Preparation
A. Upgrade modules and Drupal core code
Although it’s tempting to move your files and database quickly, I strongly recommend doing some preparation first. Before I move Drupal site, I always first check for any new Drupal core and module updates. If there are modules that need to be updated, I do the update before moving my site. The advantage of this is that it is easier later on to debug any problems that arise during the migration if you are already using the latest version of all Drupal code.

These are the steps I took to add the recent tweets block you see on the right of my blog page.
1. Created a new block with the Title and Block Description, "Recent Tweets."
2. Pasted the following code into the Block Body. I originally found the code here.
<div id="twitter_div"> <ul id="twitter_update_list"></ul></div> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/blogger.js"></script>
