Drupal and GoDaddy

I spent some time developing this new Drupal site on my localhost using Acquia. When I went to move the site to GoDaddy where I host my site it was an absolute pain. I did some research for a while and read some horror stories. I called there tech support which unfortunately did not resolve my situation. So here is the low-down on how to get a Drupal installation moved to your shared hosting account.

Before starting this process make sure you disable clean-URLs in your settings.

Facebook Application Development

I was asked recently if I know how to make Facebook apps, and had to answer no. I decided to investigate this since I know that Facebook is a PHP platform. I started working on an application which would play a YouTube video in an iFrame and then let the user guess the title and artist. It is public but it is kind of in an alpha page. It has been a great project for working with PHP and MySQL. I included some jQuery to create an autocomplete feature. It has a song entry form for users to contribute to the project. The game uses categories so you can guess songs you are familiar with.
