Hi Adam,
I have a question about the blog you keep for Matrix. It looks awesome and I want to create one myself. Did you use wordpress or eblogger or something like that to create it? How much html coding was involved? I’m just curious what all is involved to create something similar. Thanks so much in advance.

Hi Helen-
Thanks! That blog was created in Drupal. There was quiet a bit of “coding” that had to be done. I worked with our house drupal developers along with a few graphic designers to create it.
Most of the social media features were add-ons that came from Drupal, but I had them designers modify the look to simulate our branding efforts.
