Drupal is a Content Management System and most often when we think of content, we tend to think of the text-based content we type into into web forms and see as a blog, or an about us page. Digital media creators, however, also have to deal with sound clips, videos, and images. Those things need to be stored, retrieved and displayed just like text, and understanding the needs and processes around this will make working with them in our site a better experience.
In this lesson, we're going to look at the major needs for media asset management in Drupal with:
- Uploading and storing files
- Retrieving files
- Displaying files
Note: This series is covering Media Module version 1.x. To learn about Media Module 2.x, check out our Using Drupal Chapter 4: Media Management series.

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?
