Monday night we had our third Drupal Columbia meet-up at the Richland County Public Library and had 7 attendees. It was exciting and very encouraging since the first two meetings were only 3 people.
Most people attending were new to Drupal but I was glad to see some representatives from Pure Fishing (www.purefishing.com) there. Pure Fishing is a company that owns several well known fishing brands, including Shakespeare, which has long had a presence here in Columbia, and Mitchell, which has a very attractive Drupal Site at www.fishmitchell.com.
I spent quite a bit of time explaining blocks and CCK and views, and Bob from Pure Fishing took a few minutes to show us the MagicZoom feature used on the Mitchell product pages. Very impressive, if you asked me-- here's an example: www.fishmitchell.com/products/reels/avocet%C2%AE-ii-gold-series. You can read more about Magic Zoom here: www.magictoolbox.com/magiczoom
We agreed to have future meetings at RCPL, 6:00 pm on the Second Monday of each month. The next meetings are April 12 and May 10. Be there or be square!
