I have just released the Views Examples module at drupal.org. It is a library of views that you can enable and use directly within the views UI.

Here's what views examples are included so far along with what they look like on this site. I will be add more examples and welcome suggestions.

• Recent access page - example: http://www.kristen.org/recent-access

Someone requested that I add functionality to my Drupal featured content block module to sort by the nodes that are the closest match to the node being viewed based on vocabulary terms. I did this, but then someone asked if I could integrate with views to allow for this same type of sorting. I thought maybe it could be done already, and sure enough, I was able to do it using views and the views group by module.

Make sure you are using a recent version of views (e.g. 6.x-2.8) and have installed & enabled the Views Group By module.

Here's a grid of top ten Drupal modules recommended by the top websites (per Google - 2009 posts only) as of December 2009. The websites are numbered 1 to 10 and if the particular module was listed in that site's top 10 Drupal modules list, then it has an X in the column for that site. So far, I have gone through 6 websites.

I went to an awesome talk on creating high performance Drupal sites by Josh Koenig of Chapter Three at the recent BAD Camp in Berkeley. You should check out the slides, but here's a recap:

Current Availability

I am currently working on several contracts, and will be too busy to take on new clients until at least August 2010. At that time, I *may* be able to take on additional projects depending on their scope and timeline. For example, I may be able to take on a project that will only take a few days, or a project that only needs a few hours/week.
