Just wondering what tips or tricks you guys might have to share. As always with posts like this, please only one tip per post so they can be voted on independently.
I'll start: however you do your theming, you can use the mothership theme as a base theme for your theme to inherit from so that your markup will be a lot cleaner and less verbose.
use drush to install/update modules and do maintenance tasks. if you use drupal you cannot go without it.
Before coding any custom feature in Drupal, make sure there isn't already a module for it.
Use the zen theme - not only it
makes theming easier, it also adds
CSS classes that reflect the state of
the website (like <body
class="not-front not-logged-in
page-node node-type-project-project
two-sidebars">
) - makes it really
easy to customize your site.
Browse through Drupal Modules - 9 out of 10 chances you'll find what you are looking for there - is it safe and/or maintained - that is a different question ;) But at least you'll have a starting point.
