Day 1

Paris, Paris, sightseeing and a #DFD meetup. Let's make this happened. Meeting other Dupal designers/themers would be awesome.

Last, almost three weeks, I spent a wonderful time with my lovely wife and daughter on a vacation.  We went to a beautiful country of Switzerland - which I as designer found to be the real Helvetica country. We enjoyed our time, resting, swimming, walking, playing, visiting many places, traveling almost 1000 kilometers in hunt for swimming pools, theme parks, indoor playgrounds. It was a refreshing and wonderful time.

As you will see on the pictures I took while walking, resting, traveling and shopping  - being used on trains, signs, advertisements, buildings, train stations, bus stops and many more places - Helvetica is real and big in Switzerland. Join me in my real Helvetica experience. View full size images in my flickr pool.

I tried to put together 10 easy ways that will help you to generate more traffic to your blog. I hope that you will find this post helpful. I would like to hear what are your ways to generate traffic. Did I miss anything? Let me know in comments...

Drupal is an open source content management system, that let's you build almost any type of website, from simple blog, artists website, online magazine, eshop, to education, large corporate, nonprofits or government websites. To read more about Drupal go to About section on drupal.org As a designer and themer I use Drupal almost daily and through my professional life I have made a list of favorite modules that I use on almost every single website that I build. I want to share my top 10 drupal modules with you and call you to action: "What are your top Drupal modules, that you use everyday to build websites and can't even imagine your Drupal life without them?" Share your opinion in comments, or write your own blog post and link to this post so we all could read your suggestions.
