Drupal 7 Upgrade

Topics: 

Finally upgraded (yea I'm slow). Spent some time writing a custom theme for the site, hope you like it. Little did I know that my choice of colors would be a foretelling of the first loss of the OSU Buckeye American Football team to the University of Michigan American Football team in something like 7 years, or so says the corporate media. I'm not an American Football fan so I could really care less, but I do think it is funny.

Besides the color choice for the theme, I installed the media module so I could have a place to play with it and upload some images that isn't controlled by an evil third party, so check them out. I use a cheap 12mp camera, so the original image size is on the order of 2+MB. I resized them using the ImageMagick convert program with the following Bash script:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir ./resized
for file in *.JPG
do convert "${file}" -verbose -resize 640x480 -quality 70% -comment "I own these images not you." resized/"${file}"
done

I've heard of some program called photoshop, but who needs that when you can do it with FOSS?

Anyway, I hadn't built a custom Drupal theme in a long time. We are talking full custom, not just css. The changes in Drupal 7 are fantastic for theming, but I did have one issue. The breadcrumbs don't layout like the inline list menu items. What did I do? I used the template.php override for the breadcrumb theme function to make it exactly like (or almost) the inline menu item layout. This fixed the issue I was having at the top of the page with the breadcrumb links not laying out like the inline menu items. Easy pesy with Drupal. Hmmm, maybe a patch so that breadcrumbs can just use the built in list layout is in order.
