Recently, there has been a lot of debate in the Drupal community surrounding the questions of "Is Drupal for developers only?" and "How we can get more designers involved?". It's a passionate subject for many who want to see further growth in the community and wider acceptance from both developers and designers to the end-users.

UPDATE (9th Sept 2009):

I've noticed some odd things happening on this server. So sorry the demo site had to be taken offline to due security reasons and i haven't the time to keep it updated.

However, you can download this package and play with it on your localhost. If you plan, on installing it as a live site, please make sure you update Drupal and modules used in this package to the latest versions.

Over the weekend I was reminiscing over Joomla and why I had decided to go with Drupal. I still miss the wonderful vibrant Joomla community at times and how quick it was to build a website compare to Drupal. But I don’t miss the limitations of Joomla core system. However, Drupal does have it's own issues as well and that is, you tend to find quite often you'll need some kind of glue module (usually some custom code) to tie the pieces of modules together if something more specific is required.

I'm still receiving many emails about 1pixelout player for Joomla and i think it's time to set the record straight on the development progress. Before that, i do want to thank everyone for downloading and using it on their sites.

Since i have decided to switch to using Drupal a year ago, i have ceased development of all my Joomla extensions / plugins due to not having enough time. So please do not ask for feature requests or support any more. Read more about Development has ceased for 1pixelout player for Joomla & a final note about volume control

I've been receiving many emails concerning 1pixelout player plugin (1.0.x or 1.5.x versions) for Joomla not working on Internet Explorer 6/7.

This all seems a little odd to me as i have not been able to reproduce this error, so i investigated the problem by a little troubleshooting and i can confidently say that it still works fine. Read more about 1pixelout player plugin for Joomla failing to work on silly IE

This is pretty cool, just found out that Know your Rights website (part of United Nations) is using my audio player for their podcast section. I'm very please because the site is beautiful and is used for a good cause :) Read more about Know your rights website using my audio player
