I first came across Drupal almost five years ago. I recommended it for a project on politics, since abandoned. My experience was a nightmare. We were a commercial operation that needed professional programming. The launch of Acquia as Drupal’s commercial arm last year changed that. It turned out to change a lot more. Within months, Microsoft was distributing Drupal. Acquia is acquiring a host of new platinum partners. Commercial organizations have begun adopting it. So has the government.

quote by Chris Brookins : "I recorded this 11 minute screencast where I theme and style a fictional vineyard web site using the Drupal Gardens ThemeBuilder." http://acquia.com/blog/drupal-gardens-pre-alpha-screencast
Drupal Gardens? Is that near Marvin Gardens or the Hanging Gardens of Babylon?
Across the street from Bush Gardens, with a big fence in case the lions get out.

I know Zen Gardens is around here somewhere, but I can't seem to find them when desire to.
I remember going to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens when I was growing up. Maybe Zen Gardens are near there.
This is interesting. Two different "caitlyn"s, one with a space at the beginning of the name, one without.

Are they the same person?

Edit: This is some kind of display strangeness, because they both link to the same user, and now the leading space isn't displaying.

Fascinating. So, in the words of the Church Lady, "Nevermind."
@B_R:

Right now, I'm seeing the same "bug" on your two posts. Yes, the site engineers know about it, but since it's merely cosmetic, it has a very low priority.
The extra space you sometimes see is the target of the skip to new" link at the top of the thread. That's also why it jumps around. Every time you visit a thread it's location is updated.
And according to the note in the HTML 4.01 spec, the nbsp; entity is necessary because some agents can't find an empty named anchor.

What if logged-in users could get the "#new" anchor reference added to the URL's in the "Latest Discussions" box? Could that be a feature request? It would reduce the mouse travel tremendously.
