The third article in my Drupal series for Adobe.com is out now. This article covers Drupal Zen Sub-Themes, including Dreamweaver tip(s) when working with Drupal themes.

"When asked why I would recommend the Zen theme versus a core theme such as Garland, I answer, Zen was built to be a seed for your tree—you plant the seed, water it, and watch it grow! Garland looks nice, but is not documented well and has custom page template code that should not appear elsewhere. In short, Garland is just not right as the basis for a theme; the Zen theme is."

Earlier this week I launched http://cs4party.com to promote the celebration our Los Angeles Adobe User Groups are holding for Adobe. I used Strata 3D, exported to H.264 video which I converted to FLV with Flash CS3, and made a SWF header to play and loop the FLV video. Zen was used entirely, so I have a cs4party sub-zen-theme that is literally my first public Zen theme, ever. FYI, the site is Drupal 6.

Hello fellow Adobe enthusiasts...

This is a cross-post of a forum topic that I recently added about a brand new media player that I built for Drupal CMS (http://drupal.org/node/295597)... Please forgive me for the cross-post, but I felt this topic has much relevance in this group. I basically created a Media Player that uses Services and the Views module to create and manage media playlists using Drupal CMS. I also created a project page at http://www.drupal.org/project/dashplayer, and here is the homepage for the player... http://www.tmtdigital.com/project/dash_player. This player works with most if not all media modules in Drupal, and is able to query your views using remoting technology to construct its playlists on the fly. There are many other features, but those are discussed in the forum topic.

Adobe just released Photoshop Express - a free online photo hosting service and editor. It looks really promising; this app really impressed me. It has tons of little features but all presented very well and simple, in my opinion. The application was done in Flex and offers these features that anyone can use for free.

• Photo hosting (2GB)
• Load/Browse photos from Facebook, PhotoBucket, and Picasa (Google)
• Edit photos
• Preview edits in live mode and with scenario example previews
• Make 2D/3D slideshows (that rock!) and even share them (perfect for portfolios and photographers)
• Full-screen mode (awesome!)
• Share photos/galleries
• Rate photos
