Bricks and Stones Gossip

BricksAndStonesGossip.com is another convert from the world of WordPress. The site actually began life as a Blogger site originally, but today it has evolved into a growing Drupal-based community. As If Productions was brought in to migrate the site, giving it a total redesign and adding some new features, like the "Gossip Groups" communities and the jQuery slideshow on the front page.

Celebrity Baby Scoop

Another happy WordPress-to-Drupal migration, Celebrity Baby Scoop is (you guessed it) the place to go for up-to-the-minute information on celebrity babies, and celebrities who have them. The site features a growing community of self-styled User Groups, a custom AJAX-driven Slideshow demonstrating the power of jQuery, and an expectancy calendar indicating all the upcoming due-dates of the stars. Design by August Afternoon Designs.


WedVert.com

In 2009 an upgrade and expansion was required for the flagship publication of Portovert LLC, creators of Portovert.com (praised as "The Number 1 Green Wedding Site" by Martha Stewart Weddings). This Drupal-based Green Wedding site now includes a tagged, searchable Shopping section and a popular Green Wedding Guide, in addition to the feature articles and photogalleries of its predecessor.

Asiance Magazine

A complex and evolving magazine with a dedicated community site, Asiance Magazine is a good example of a highly customized Drupal theme. In migrating the site from Drupal 4 to Drupal 5, we faced a number of challenges due to lack of support for discontinued modules. Many of the site's features required custom-coding to retain compatibility with legacy data structures. Design and Flash programming by Jon Dela.


FitCeleb.com

A sister site of ImNotObsessed.com, FitCeleb features health-related stories, celebrity news, exercise tips and nutritional advice to help you live a healthy lifestyle. FitCeleb began as a WordPress site, but they have joined the growing list of ex-WP sites now using Drupal for their content management needs.

The Bastardly

Another happy conversion from WordPress to Drupal, this popular celebrity gossip blog was recently listed by MAXIM among the best examples of "pervarazzi" websites. Make no mistake: the Bastardly Crew do not idolize their celebrities; they prefer them skewered. Or naked. Or skewered, naked. Features include buttaface brownbags, the bikini body face-off, and the Bastardly Boob Reviews (wonder what those are?) The Bastardly is (usually) safe for work, but you probably won't want to share it with your mom.


VivaGreen.com

A Drupal-based community blog and directory of Green companies, services and products, VivaGreen is the brainchild of Pivotal Ventures Inc. This highly dynamic site features a variety of advanced Drupal features, including a complex taxonomical structure, ad-hoc user groups, tag clouds, and a customized tabular approach to the "CCK Address" module allowing vendors to be sorted by city, state/province, country, zip/postal code or name.

Listings and blog space are free. Got a Green company or service? Enter it in!


Newbury Greens

Newbury Greens is an online artists community, personal artists gallery and exhibition hall for digital representations of physical artworks. Using a hybrid platform consisting of Drupal (for taxonomy and community features) and X-Cart (for e-commerce features), we were able to quickly put together a seamless user experience allowing art collectors to interact directly with each other, and with the artists whose work they are following.


I'm Not Obsessed!

Vera Sweeney, Owner/Editor of I'm Not Obsessed!, is the "nice guy" of the celebrity blogging world. If you're looking for a positive spin on celebrity gossip, you'll find everything right here - including our newly-added features such as User Groups, Buddy Lists, Polls and Favorites, turning this site into both a blog and a community.
