Event type:

User group meeting

Our next meet-up will be on Saturday, July 19, 2008 from 1 to 3 PM at MindComent's offices
in Altamonte Springs, Florida (Orlando area). This will be a 1-topic meeting with Ryan Price covering Themeing in Drupal 6 - taking an HTML/CSS theme and Drupalizing with Zen as the base theme.

For those of you who are new to Drupal, Themeing is customizing the look and feel of a Drupal website to a more individual style or personality than the basic themes that come with the core Drupal package.

We will kick off each meeting with a 20-minute quick question and answer session. Anyone can ask the group any question on any Drupal related topic; providing the question can be asked and answered in a short period of time. If you can't make the meetup, feel free to ask the question in the comment section of this post.

This new event string is to remind everyone of the July 19th meeting and so attendees can sign up.

Unfortunately, I will not be able to make it today either. Which is a shame, because I have been looking forward to the Themeing class for a long time, but some things can't be helped. I'll see you all next month. - Steve
