We had a great time in Seattle this past weekend, Oct 24-25th, at the Pacific Northwest Drupal Summit. www.pnwdrupalsummit.org Lots of great talks and lots of great people!

Chris Shattuck of www.buildamodule.com gave lots of great advice when he spoke on Drupal Security Essentials.

Jen Lampton of www.ChapterThree.com gave a very practical presentation on Drupal SEO. Did you know that the default settings of Pathauto can lead to duplicate paths to your content? This is not good for your Google rankings.

I found the CSS for the Main Navigation for this site at Listamatic.
Here is the CSS for a simple horizontal menu with rollovers.

width: 100%;
text-align: left;
