Look at available modules more closely after reviewing Activity Streams: ” … With Activity stream, every time you twitter, post a link on Digg.r receive a Facebook notification, you can view that information on your Drupal site. There are many add-on modules for popular social media sites and services that extend the Activity stream module. Here are a few of them:

  • Facebook
  • YouTube
  • Qik
  • Identi.ca
  • Blogger
  • Goodreads
  • IMDB

[See] …https://drupal.org/project/activitystream [and] …activitystream_facebook[, etc.] … Browse Administer-Site building-Modules[, … enable … Activity Stream [and] … Save configuration. … Choose Administer-User management-Users[, l]ocate the user [and edit, ]… click the Activity Stream link. … Enter your username for the particular Web site you wish to include in your Activity Stream output and click Save. Your streams will update automatically at intervals, but to make it update immediately so ou can see the new data, you need to run your cron program to make Drupal go out and get your information from the web sites.” –Author: Beighley, Lynn Source: Drupal for Dummies (2010), pg. 273-280

2012-06-10 Using Galleries

Drupal (book) additions up to Chapter 6, pg. 97.  Added story to gallery (Drupal gardens).  Imported picture to media library and returned/deleted one picture/sample).  Not working right?  Skipped ahead to Gallery chapter in book.  Ah, ha.  On main page, gallery shows on one picture.  Cannot tell if other pictures are in gallery unless you go to it.  To get multiple pics on main page, use separate Gallery for each?
