Biography

I was escorted into the world of computing when my parents purchased a Commodore Vic20 in or around 1982. Typically quite frugal, my father understood the power of computers (at least for his kids, he still won't mess with them) and upped the antie by purchasing an Apple IIc for me in 1984.

I became interested in static HTML in '97 and a few years later became a big fan of WYSIWYG editors (GoLive and Dreamweaver) after using them for several employers as well as freelance work. As the web developed it became clear that I needed additional functionality and I started investigating open source web frameworks. Drupal made the most sense to me and since then I've become active in the Chicago Drupal community as an attendee of the Chicago Drupal Meetup Group and an Assistant Organizer of the Fox Valley Drupal Meetup Group. I run GoGrow.org and build Drupal sites for churches and other Christian ministries.

I'm married and have three small children. We attend and volunteer at a Vineyard church here in Aurora. I am quite interested in how church and tech can be better integrated.

I am a Geek. I love God.

  • Views Carousel Help

    Hey, I've got a big project that is just about out the door but Views Carousel is giving me grief. There is a flash of all nodes before the style sheet is applied. I've tried various .css and .js techniques.

    ANY input appreciated!

    Thanks!

  • Parent-dependent Seconday Menus

    Hey, I've set up my site so that Secondary Links are dependent on the parent Primary Link selected. (As described in http://www.lullabot.com/videoc...).

    Primary Link I
    - Secondary Link I.A
    - Secondary Link I.B
    - Secondary Link I.C

    Primary Link II
    - Secondary Link II.A
    - Secondary Link II.B
    - Secondary Link II.C

    I would like to nest another set of menus and am unaware of how to implement this approach twice in the same site.

    Any input appreciated.

    Thanks!

  • Help with if....elseif...else statement

    Hey, I've got a taxonomy list which I would like to alter the output.

    Specifically I'd like to render an acronym of my term. (i.e., if my taxonomy term is "Vacation Bible School" I'd like to print "VBS.")

    Considering that I have a list of mutually exclusive terms, I'm looking at the if...elseif...else statement:

    <?php
    $d    =date("D");
    if (    $d=="Fri")
      echo     "Have a nice weekend!";
    elseif (    $d=="Sun")
      echo     "Have a nice Sunday!";
    else
      echo     "Have a nice day!";
    ?>

  • Drupal AJAX ImageMap?

    Hey, I'm looking at a Drupal theming project...everything seems really straightforward, except they have an image which is to be a "selectable menu" which "causes the content of the frame to change." Clearly AJAX is the way to handle this...any tips on just how to set it up?

    I've not used ImageMaps in years, preferring Sprites for linking. However, I've not been presented with a "single image as navigation" in a long, long time. Am I approaching this correctly?

    Thanks, -NP

  • Church Site Examples

    Hi, If anyone is looking for inspiration, I found a nice post highlighting good church site design. The 3-part article has been out there a few years, so a few sites may look a little dated, but it looks to be worth at least a quick scan.
