This morning I worked on a pet project, the Team Road Kill website.  For many reasons, this is a Drupal 6 Install.  Even though we are still stuck with a heavy install of the Location module, we got a new facelift on the site, but updating the WYSIWYG process and updating how we manage inline images.

I'm a members, and you should be too!  Support the platform that makes it all possible.
