I wrote an article in Smashing Magazine detailing all of usability and accessibility work that went into the menu system within Drupal’s Olivero theme. I’m super excited about it because they’re one of the most foremost resources for web developers, with lots of great articles, conferences, books, and more. It’s an honor to get an article published there! 😊

I’m also thrilled that Drupal is being discussed in the wider web development community. I’m a big believer that the Drupal community needs to be more outspoken on the work that we’re doing. We’re innovating on an enormous amount of free/open-source techniques, tools, and methodology that could be shared!
How to share with the wider web community
Looking to write more articles? Here are more options:
-
Write for yourself. Great examples in the Drupal Community include Matt Glaman, Théodore Biadala, Mark Conroy, and Rachel Norfolk (who has a great looking site IMO).
You can get your RSS feed published on Drupal Planet, which will drive visitors. The benefit of writing for yourself is that you can do or say whatever you want! Shit!
-
OpenSource.com. The Drupal Community’s own AmyJune Hineline is on the editorial team at OSDC (as all the cool kids call it). They’re actively looking for articles, and even have an editorial team that will help you through the process! An example of this is John Picozzi’s article, Open source runs on non-code contributions, and Alex Borsody’s A Drupal developer’s guide to Progressive Web Apps.
Find out more about contributing to OSDC at https://opensource.com/writers.
-
CSS-Tricks.com. If you’re a front-end developer and have done something that you’re especially proud of, submit it to CSS Tricks! I wrote an article on some cool CSS Grid stuff that we did for Views’ Responsive Grid last January. The process was straightforward, and they have a huge audience!
-
Php[architect] Magazine – if you’re a backend dev, and want to showcase some of the cool solutions that Drupal has figured out, they take article submissions! They also publish an old-school paper magazine, as well as put on conferences.
