Normally, we're a humble bunch of folks; we put on our pants one leg at a time and get to work (cough) early to get a leg up, all without fanfare, ticker-tape parades, or floats. That said, we don't turn up our noses when an award comes our way, especially if it's for the third year in a row.
That being the case, we're pleased to announce the Greater San Antonio Builders Association has awarded the Digett-designed and -developed McMillin Homes website the 2010 Summit Award for Best Website for a Builder. I might mention we also won in 2009 and 2008—and telling the truth never constitutes bragging, in our playbook.
A couple of days ago, I came across this video of a man who was, shall we say, emotional about a double rainbow he finds in his front yard—a complete double rainbow, all the way.
The first time I watched, I thought it was pretty funny, but upon watching a second and third time, I found myself wiping away tears of laughter. So naturally I shared the video with my peeps here at Digett, and soon we were all enjoying that same double rainbow.
Miscommunication, my friends, can lead to embarrassing results. While writing for my college newspaper, I found myself covering the landfall of hurricane Katrina (from afar). The story, the focus of the front page, quoted speculation from experts that Katrina could be the most costly hurricane in United States history.
“Early estimates,” I wrote, “place costs upwards of $25 dollars.”
Go ahead, read that again. Indeed, it says that the natural disaster would cost no more than a Jackson and a Lincoln.
If we had more room in our header areas, I'd tack "for you" onto the end—that's one of the crucial points of this post, after all. In the course of doing what I do, I come across all kinds of email templates, and one truth emerges: the perfect email template is what works best for your organization and your readers. There's no one-size-fits-all solution.
Finding your own sweet spot, however, can be challenging. And while I was fully prepared to dive into the research and present some high-falutin' scientific evidence for your edification, I figured show-and-tell might be more meaningful. Let's take a look at some examples—two created by Digett, one not—that work.
I’ve grown to have an affinity for Drupal’s hook_form_alter function. Truly, modifying a form doesn’t have to be as complicated as it may seem. One of the most generic Drupal forms (in my opinion) is the pesky comment form. Out of the box, it comes complete with name, email, homepage, subject, and comment fields.
