We've been working with one of our clients to rebuild the way they capture membership information, both new and renewing. One of the requirements is to allow potential members to signup for access to forums, comments, subscriptions, etc. The goal is to provide the user with a smooth, logical process to create an account and if they choose, to become a member.

Wild Utah Project (WUP), along with other conservationists and scientists, has been developing the Rapid-Stream Riparian Assessment, which uses scientific indicators to determine stream health.  WUP approached us to "build an RSRA database" and make it accessible for the world to use.  We were able to leverage their existing Drupal CMS and extend it to make their vision a reality.  We built the custom web-based database in less than 50 hours, at a fraction of the market cost.  It was completed ahead of schedule and far exceeded their initial requirements.

The hardest part of implementing a word counter was finding one that looks good and works. A surprisingly difficult task. We settled on the very slick jQuery Word Counter. I like Trevor's style of explaining how he implemented an idea, what was going through his head and why he made his programmatic decisions.
