Good night sweet prince 😭 #Drupal

I'll be speaking about #Drupal at #PHPVerse 2026 on June 9th!

In my session, we'll explore what's driving Drupal's resurgence, from component-driven development and the new Canvas page-building experience, to Drupal CMS and its rapidly growing marketplace. We'll look at how modern PHP, and AI-powered workflows are helping teams build faster.

This is a free virtual event that you won't want to miss! I'll be going on at 4:25pm CEST / 10:25am ET

IMHO, the “SDC slots can set expectations and cardinality” #drupal issue that @mherchel and others have been working on is a big deal.

I considered writing a post- @drupalcon Chicago blog post, but apparently I hung out with @mherchel way too much so he wrote it for me: 😄

Dripyard's Drupal Contributions for March 2026 | Dripyard

Inspired by Mark Conroy's blog series, I’m starting a series of blog posts detailing Dripyard’s contributions. My hope is that it brings a bit of visibility to 1) inspire y’all to buy our themes, and 2) inspire folks to contribute on their own.

New #DrupalCon Chicago blog post! Lots of cool pics, talk about contribution, community, and what's next for Dripyard #Drupal

Dripyard’s DrupalCon Chicago Wrapup | Dripyard

In my portion of the “Drupal CMS Spotlights” keynote, I made the case that in my 19+ years of being involved in the Drupal community, now is the most exciting time in Drupal’s history.

@dripyard has so much going on at DrupalCon North America!

- One training
- Three sessions
- One site template
- Four hundred stickers
- Limited supply of beanies

Excited yet busy! https://dripyard.com/blog/dripyard-drupalcon-chicago

If you're starting a #Drupal site-build, you'd be nuts if you didn't at least consider building your theme from one of the beautifully engineered themes from @dripyard 🎨🏗️
