I gave a presentation at last night's LA Drupal meetup on migrating from Squarespace to Drupal. I'm writing a full blog post (maybe more than one) on the subject, but for now I want to post the slides.

Download Squarespace to Drupal: a migration adventure (PDF)

All the links in the PDF should be hyperlinked and clickable. There are also some XPath selectors and drush commands that might be useful. The full post on this topic is coming soon.

I'm currently working on a new Drupal site with a lot of media: slideshows, movies, and audio. I'm taking the opportunity to use the much-in-development Media module. Because this site needs to go up soon, I'm using the more stable 7.x-1.2. It's a much more robust way of working with rich media than anything Drupal has had previously, but there are some things that need some extra work, like display of uploaded MP3s and movie files (as opposed to embedded media from other sites).

If you use Drupal on any kind of regular basis, Drush is your friend. It's a command-line utility available for all platforms (including Windows as of version 5!) that can do sometimes-seemingly innumerable tasks for you. I've been using it for installing, enabling, and disabling modules and themes; clearing the Drupal cache; and running code and database updates for years now, but that's just scratching the surface.
