I didn't want to use a WYSYWIG editor on stilltruth so I opted to use quicktags by Bèr Kessels. He only included a few basic tags however and I wanted more so I used his directions to create quicktagsplus. Quicktagsplus is hereby released under GPL2.

Until I can gain CVS access at Drupal (should be soon) the first version of quicktagsplus is available here.

I have built stilltruth upon Drupal as a CMS. One of the great characteristics of Drupal is it's easy extensibility. While for the most part I can't program my way out of a paper sack I can follow directions. So following those directions as I find them I intend to submit patches and extensions to various modules. They are listed below.

I've made a couple of changes lately and wanted to make sure everyone was up to speed.

Courtesy of Dr. Jim West I found this little toy which rates the website. In case you ever wondered:

I'm completely flabbergasted that the counter here is rolling closer to 50,000 visitors. So for a little fun I think I'll stick a few semi-random books into a box and get it ready for posting to the person who hits the magic number. Of course I have a fair collection of overflowing bookshelves so let's select the books as well.

How many times have you backed up the important stuff?
Fortunately I had a fresh backup of the Truth is Still Truth website. Catastrophe struck this morning during routine maintenance and I had to rebuild parts of the site, including some major maintenance on the Database underneath the site. As a result of the changes the former template no longer would function so I replaced it as well.
I apologize to all who wanted to access the site today but were unable to do so.
Finally however we can return to normal operation.

Oh, and one more thing. Take this as a nudge to backup your personal data; you never quite know when you're going to need it. :-)

Greetings to all of you,
Note that I rarely post to this particular newsletter so I guarantee you won't get inundated with emails from it. I've made a few improvements to Truth is Still Truth and wanted to point a few of them out.

I had a user send me an email recently asking "I've been able to do everything I wanted without an account, why would I want one?"

Great question. I intentionally made some of the most popular features easy to get at without an account. However, membership has it's privileges. Quality control is important to me, so I implemented an account system here that will enable you to do some extra things that you couldn't otherwise:

Well it took long enough but Stilltruth.com is finally back
online!  The upgrade and transition from Wordpress to Drupal took
