Despite the absence of those who had gone to DrupalCon Copenhagen, the August Denver Drupal meet-up had a good turnout and was a great success. A lot of questions were answered and three short presentations were given about theming regions, drush and data migration.

The New AtenDesignGroup.com

Over the past few months, we've been working to redesign our website to better reflect our identity, our work, and our process. The new design gives us the flexibility to create custom designs for featured projects, a better framework for writing blog posts, and a much prettier interface, both on the front and back-end.

Fonts in Drupal with @font-your-face

If only all of these font providers all had APIs, we could pull them all into Drupal and use a standard interface to apply a wide variety of fonts to our designs without needing to hunt down who offers which fonts and deal with the a slightly different system at every provider. That's the idea behind @font-your-face: a common interface for dealing with fonts from all over the web in Drupal.
