You have probably noticed that many websites tend to display advertising between posts, surrounded by relevant content.

Achieving this in Drupal is a trivial task. All you need to do is place the following code to the top of the node.tpl.php for whatever theme you are running.

If you are using custom_content and customizing it differently using a node-custom_content.tpl.php, don't forget to add the code to the node-custom_content.tpl.php as well.

Regardless of whether the big "G" approves or not text-link-ads are still a very popular form of revenue for a lot of webmasters. From personal experience I have managed websites with text-link-ads that outperform Adsense with over ten times the revenue per month (this is even after the page rank penalties imposed in the last round of updates).

If you have a Drupal powered website and are still using text-link-ads you my want to consider modifying the code in the module. You may have noticed that at the end of each article in the feed the word Advertisement: is inserted. But, the Drupal module does not currently support text-link advertising in the RSS feed.

Caution this is a long detailed post!

I had a recent requirement to build a photoblog website for my daughter who has just started to learn about photography.

After evaluating a number of different product including: gallery 2, cheesecake, pixelpost and photostand to name a few I decided that none of these would match with my requirements. With a few years experience and having built several Drupal powered sites I decided to investigate the possibilities.

When you think of a photoblog Drupal is probably not the first application that comes to mind. But, it is relatively simple to create a stylish, scalable and very functional photoblog with Drupal.
