Taking control of your block’s theme with blocktheme

I got en email from Bob Christenson over at mustard seed media:

  1. Thanking me for block theme (others deserve credit as well, see the Project Page )
  2. Pointing me to this wicked video tutorial on how to get it running for your site and what it does

More after the jump…

I’m blown away by the popularity of what I really consider a hack of a module, which requires you to modify template.php (in Drupal 5, not Drupal 6), and which is sorta hitting at the fringes of core functionality. But like most things, the simpler it is, the more people will want to / be able to use it.

I also hate video tutorials, but this one happens to be quite good!

Here it is: Drupal Block Theme Tutorial

Thank you Bob! I feel FOSSpired today

    That’s an awesome tutorial for an awesome module! This one really made theming Amnesty.org so much easier, since for instance all items on the front page are blocks. I’m sure this module can do plenty of magic for people using panels for instance.

    Hey Jacob…
    Thank YOU man! You created a really useful module and I’m glad you find the video helpful as well. I’m more than happy to promote your (and the other contributer’s) great work. Keep it up!

    Thanks for linking to the vid!
