Comments
something new
I had to make a Drupal site that was password protected. However, the login page when a site is in "maintenance mode" wasn't very appealing. I'd like to show the modules that I used to create a password protected Drupal site that doesn't use maintenance mode.
Thematically, this presentation belongs in the #3 slots, but I bet I can get it done in 10 minutes. So, I'm fine with either time slot.
