Before we can display a location on a map, we need to decide on a location storage method. This is a critical step because not all storage methods are compatible with every mapping module. Since we'll be using Leaflet, we'll need to use Geofield to store our geographic data. Geofield will provide us with a new type of field that we can add to any entity bundle or content type. Geofield provides many different field formatters that can display geographic data in a variety of formats, such as latitude and longitude or well known text. By the end of this lesson, you should be able to download and install Geofield and its dependencies, add a Geofield to a content type, and enter in the latitude and longitude for a location node.

Over the years we've developed some techniques for practicing that we wanted to share. At Drupalize.Me we take hugging seriously. In this tutorial we'll look at the art, and science, of giving a good hug. The Merriam Webster dictionary defines the word hug as; squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.
Did you know there are all kinds of different hugs that you can give? In this tutorial we'll look at:
- Defining what a hug is
- Some of the many types of hugs in the world today
- Precautions you may want to familiarize yourself with before hugging
- And the importance of proper technique
Lets go ahead and get started shall we?
