Anyone who has used Drupal knows that it has a steep learning curve. Anyone who has stuck with it knows that Drupal can save you lots of time when you are building a web page. Drupal is an amazing CMS, which boasts high security, constant updates, 1000s of contributed modules, and an ever-increasing online community. If you are thinking about making a web site, I would highly suggest Drupal as the basis.
Another Update on some of my recent work. I have been working on a new Drupal Module, Click2Sell Suite! It is my first Official Drupal Module project, and I am really excited about it!

One of my clients recently requested the ability for his Users with a certain role to be able to sell files and get commission from their sales.

In my line of work, I usually deal with clients who want to have their sites display perfectly in every browser. Unfortunately for today's web designer, the browsers that are currently in use do not always agree on which is the correct way to render CSS. I'm not going to get into the 'Which Browser is Better' argument (even though it is Firefox 3), but I AM going to show you how to make your css woes go away with a nice little trick.

This is the beginning of the WildKatana Design Blog! I've been planning to start this for a couple weeks and only just now found the time. I have been using my personal blog to post things for WildKatana Design from time to time, but now the time has come for me to move that to my new site. So, here I plan to post Tutorials, Reviews, and other helpful posts with lessons I have learned and which hopefully can help those out there who are having the same problems I had.
