Upgrade to Drupal 7

Posted on Thu, 2012-02-02 22:09

I have finally got around to upgrading the old site to Drupal 7.

Site is very simple just using a basic view for the blog listing (which I could of just used the standard river of news, but it's nice to know that I can control it whenever I want).

The upgrade process was very simple, there were a couple of issues with modules not working properly mainly due to PHP 5.3 errors but they were easy to overcome or I just got rid of the module as it wasn't really needed.

Site is also on a different Linode server which is set up with Varnish being used to server images, CSS and javascript.

I also took a few minutes to code up a new theme which is based on the Tao base theme.
