I'm really loving the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's difficult to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appearance. I must say that you've done a excellent job with this. In addition, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome. Outstanding Blog! Woah! I’m really loving the template/theme of this website.

There seems to be a jungle of CMS out there, and its great to see that someone really have looked into them. We are currently thinking of what CMS to use to skin our game site templates for and Drupal sound very promising. /AntonW www.GameSiteTemplates.com Great nteresting reading!

I am not here to tell you that you made the wrong decision in your selection of Drupal for your project but as a member of the MODx Marketing & Design team and a user since 2006, I can offer some insight into the current <a>roadmap</a> and compatibility of MODx 0.9.7 (as it is currently dubbed) and previous versions (current as of this comment 0.9.6.1p2). While 0.9.7 is based upon an entirely new codebase, it will have a migration system for previous versions, certainly the tables and the core addons will be addressed. There may be some issues with custom built addons that rely on the old API as well MODx will be moving to a more consistent use of Smarty Tags for its templating and placeholders vs the current version but that could be handled via a single plugin that does a translation on the fly or you could do a search and replace and be done in a matter of minutes. Again, I want to say that every web project is different and every developer has their likes and dislikes it is great that you have looked at MODx as part of your project choices. Keep watching and join the friendly bunch at the MODx forums. Cheers and all the best, Jay Hi there.
