Sitemap Script for Drupal v6
Ultimate Sitescript Solution?
I've been waiting for a working Sitemap module for Drupal v6 - and I finally decided to go out and find a third-party solution...

Upgrading From Vista to Windows XP
Yep - many people refer to moving from Vista to XP as "downgrading", but I think it's more accurately referred to as an upgrade.

I feel that I'm probably in the majority of informed computer users - XP Pro is a perfectly suitable OS - while Vista is wonderful if you like 'eye-candy'. I suspect that Vista is only becoming more 'popular' because it's downright difficult to find new computers that have XP as an option, let alone already the primary OS.

However, you can run into problems - and I'd like to explain what solution works for this site.

I’ve upgraded my website several times – so I can hardly be considered an expert… but I’d like to document the steps I take to upgrade my Drupal site – so that others have a roadmap to follow. Keep in mind that those who are on a dedicated server may have different procedures, I’m on shared hosting (a fantastic site called Hot Drupal)… but if you’re on a dedicated server, you’ve probably already done this a few times!
