Design for Drupal is about bringing the community of designers together to be a part of the Drupal community. It’s about enabling designers and themers to do great stuff, coordinate efforts, come up with crazy ideas, and build a movement to make Drupal beautiful.

I happened upon this and wanted to share. The article mentions Drupal still playing second fiddle to WordPress :) but makes note that the designs are inspirational and could sway someone towards Drupal over other CMS's

CSS Styles missing from my site when view in Internet Explorer (IE)
I'm having some problems with my site when view in Internet Explorer. My website (http://www.cincyliberians.com/) has no css styles apply when view in IE browser but works fine in Firefox, Netscape,etc. What I don't understand is why some of the pages have css styles in IE but some do not, especially the front/home page. I'm using the picture reloaded theme and when I switch to the default theme (Garland) or any other theme, it still does not have css styles. Please help me!!. I installed the Unlimited_CSS module and thought it would help solve the problem but it does not.

DrupalMedia.org Launched for the Sprint!
As a supplement to the Media group, I launched Drupal Media today to help with the ongoing Media sprint efforts. On its front page, you'll see a map to the next sprint (which is at Mansueto - 7 World Trade Ctr, New York, NY this Friday-Saturday, October 23-24, from 9-5). Tabs are also available for discussions (add your own), videos, and a feed to the Media module issue queue. Please give me any feedback or desired functionality that would be useful for the site. (Including long-term plans for the useful domain, contributed by the good folks at Development Seed.)
Don't forget that you have to pre-register if you plan to come to the sprint, with your full name. Hope to see you there, or at #drupal-media in IRC!

Images disappear when logged out
I have fading images are not showing on the front page when I log out is that permissions, a block created w/ Views Rotator, is this permissions?,
everything is working fine when I am logged in but once logged out the cycle of fading images appear?
I looked through permissions but nothing seemed relevant, I wondered if it was one of the settings in Views?
Thanks

Read moreCleaned up taxonomy and setting up a taxonomy
Just cleaned up some spam tags from the taxonomy.
Noticed some tags that could mean the same thing:
'templates'
'theme'
'themes'
and this might be unclear:
'design'
'webdesign'
move to fix this.
What is 'contrib'?
Should 'code example' be given children with specific definitions?
Also want to pass the suggestion to think out a proper taxonomy structure in general.
Should we assign a few people to moderate this stuff? Is that technically possible?
Also do we want links to W3C, WCAG, and other official documentation/ validator?
Hope it helps.
Read more'Design modules' and making the design proces a more pleasant one with a lower learning curve where needed. My journey in getting to understand design in Drupal.
Currently I am experimenting with something I dubbed 'Design modules', and I would like to contribute this idea back to the community and bounce off some ideas. Please feel free to give constructive feedback on this, and whether I am heading in the right direction. This is not to be considered a definitive write up by any means, but just one designer's journey in getting to learn how to design in Drupal, and where needed improve this process.
