editablefields is a winner
Thanks everyone at Drupal Cafe tonight that weighted in with suggestions for my Views issues. editablefields (along with ajax_load) is a winner. It seems to work great for the survey tool I'm building, enabling people to edit nodes in a table-formatted view. It was also very easy to install and set up.

How to Segment Blog Personas
I want to maintain at least two different personas on my Drupal-based blog: (1) Professional (2) Personal. Naturally, each would have its own set of blog entries that generally would not intersect, although they might sometimes.
My question is: What is the best way to organize and display each of these personas as its own blog, and still be able to show them together in one blog stream when I want to?

My esteemed colleague of Drupal meetup etiquette fame booked a room in our usual hangout, the Morse Institute Library at 14 East Central Street, downtown Natick by the Common, a block from the MBTA stop.

On the topic agenda:
- Communication in a web collective
- Timeliness in all things
- The measured use of sarcasm in posts

Read moreNew to Drupal, where do I start?
Hello All,
I'm brand spanking new to Drupal (and CMS's overall). After a bunch of research on the best solution for managing content, Drupal seemed to make the most sense for my needs.
Now please, can someone let me know if this group is for folks who already understand Drupal? Is there room/acceptance for beginners?
My goal would be to move a basic html event listing site into a fully functional, dynamic Drupal site.
Any help or direction would be great!
Thanks,
BF

We also anticipate that it will be used as a backchannel during the camp. (If you don't have an IRC program set up already, you can use the web-based chat client directly on the camp website. Just enter your preferred nickname and click "connect".)

Not specifically a Drupal conference, though I would expect to see some Boston area Drupal folk there.
I've attended 2 of the previous 3 BarCamps in Boston (had to miss the one during the giant snowstorm) and there's often lots of material which would be of interest to this audience, both about Drupal and also just more generically.
It is time once again for BarCamp Boston!

MASSkiting.com wants to teach you to kiteboard!
Hello,
I work at Acquia and have been doing allot with Drupal on my own for the last 3 months. I head a kiteboarding community www.masskiting.com and finally I am able to ad some great value to the community. We ride all around Boston and the Cape. As a group we are dedicated to helping those new to the sport get ramped up and kite safely. It is certainly very addictive and a great pastime for any one with a wind flexible schedule.
