Drupal offers built-in support for sites in virtual subdirectories, e.g. www.example.com/subdir, but getting this up and running under Lighttpd is not well documented. Fear not, for it can be done with only minor configuration file tweaks and a few extra mod_rewrite directives.

August Update

I'm just not good at this three blog thing. I apologize for not updating this one much lately.

We are now in the month of August, so allow me to quickly hit all the marks for July:

I saw Pirates of the Carribean 2, and hated it.

My grandfather came to visit in July. It was really nice to see him, and I hope he can return again soon and/or that I can go up to Virginia to visit.

This allows you to group options within logical groups, and the cursor simply skips over the group label. It’s awesome. There’s plenty more, too.
