<h2>Dividing Drupal's process and preprocess functions into separate files</h2>
<pclass="posted">24th May 2012</p>
<p>If you use a lot of process and preprocess functions within your Drupal theme, then your template.php can get very long and it can become difficult to find a certain piece of code.</p>
<p>Following the example of the <ahref="http://drupal.org/project/omega"title="The Omega theme on Drupal.org">Omega theme</a>, I've started separating my process and preprocess functions into their own files. For example, mytheme_preprocess_node can be placed within a preprocess/node.inc file, and mytheme_process_page can be placed within process/page.inc.</p>

<h2>Prevent Apache from displaying text files within a web browser</h2>
<pclass="posted">23rd May 2012</p>
<p>When you download <ahref="http://drupal.org/project/drupal">Drupal</a>, there are several text files that are placed in the root of your installation. You don't want or need these to be visible to anyone attempting to view them in a browser - especially CHANGELOG.txt as that includes the exact version of Drupal you are running and could therefore have security implications.</p>
<p>Rather than delete these files or change the file permissions manually for each file, I can add the following lines into my VirtualHost configuration.</p>

<h2>Adding Custom Theme Templates in Drupal 7</h2>
<pclass="posted">19th April 2012</p>
<p>Today, I had a situation where I was displaying a list of teasers for news article nodes. The article content type had several different fields assigned to it, including main and thumbnail images. In this case, I wanted to have different output and fields displayed when a teaser was displayed compared to when a complete node was displayed.</p>
<p>I have previously seen it done this way by adding this into in a node.tpl.php file:</p>
