Red raíz  is a project that from the beginning was conceived as a portal for Internet users interested in acquiring, exchanging and renting properties through real estate agents. As its name indicates, it is a user network that was developed taking into account the raison d'être of Web 2.0: the Internet is for users, by users, and they are the ones who generate and transform information.

The Internet has been with us for a few decades, not really that many, and it has managed to change our way of life to the point that business, politics, society and even tastes revolve around the Internet. It is fair that we at least know how it came about, how it evolved, who were the precursors, what dimensions it currently has and perhaps a little about where it is going.

Varnish is a great server for the static layer of our Drupal installations and we use or recommend it in the vast majority of installations, there are some special cases where we must make adjustments to the Varnish or Apache configuration so that we do not experience problems with some modules such as the voting API when we require blocking by IP, since Apache sends the response directly to Varnish and not to the user's browser, the IP that we will register will be the local IP 127.0.0.1

Colegio  San Patricio  is an educational institution with more than 50 years of experience, private, calendar A, bilingual, Catholic-oriented, with preschool, basic and secondary education levels. The SeeD team designed and developed a web portal based on Drupal 7.0.

Form fields are very easy to manipulate using a  form_alter  in a module, however when we are dealing with fields created with  CCK (Content Construction Kit)  the story is a little different because these fields are created at the end of the form construction, in such a way that any changes we need to make must be done between the construction of the form and the rendering.

Google has been carrying out a very interesting campaign to teach the basic concepts of Internet use and security, a campaign that is worth supporting because it helps reduce the digital divide and improve technological inclusion worldwide, so I want to share the website  http://www.20thingsilearned.com/es-419 with you , it is completely in Spanish and accompanied by fun graphics, very much in the Google style, which makes it very easy to understand.

Applying styles to a form field of type "file" is one of the biggest headaches for developers working on the implementation of the presentation layer, a simple way to achieve this is to use Jquery and the  FileStyle library , this library helps us allows a custom image for the "Browse" button as well as applying styles to the field as if it were text type.
