<h2>Updating Features and Adding Components Using Drush</h2>
<p class="posted text-light">21st October 2014</p>
<p>If you use the <a href="http://drupal.org/project/features">Features module</a> to manage your Drupal configuration, it can be time consuming to update features through the UI, especially if you are working on a remote server and need to keep downloading and uploading files.</p>
<p>If you re-create a feature through the UI, you'll be prompted to download a new archive of the feature in its entirety onto your local computer. You could either commit this into a local repository and then pull it remotely, or use a tool such as SCP to upload the archive onto the server and commit it from there. You can simplify this process by using <a href="http://drush.org">Drush</a>.</p>

<h2>How to fix Vagrant Loading the Wrong Virtual Machine</h2>
<p class="posted text-light">6th October 2014</p>
<p>A few times recently, I've had instances where <a href="https://www.vagrantup.com">Vagrant</a> seems to have forgotten which virtual machine it's supposed to load, probably due to renaming a project directory or the .vagrant directory being moved accidentally.</p>
<p>Here are the steps that I took to fix this and point Vagrant back at the correct VM.</p>
