Taxonomy. What is it and why should I use it in my Drupal site? In this blog post I will introduce you to the Taxonomy module.

The modern Web is a dynamic place. However, sometimes it's necessary (or desirable) to remove the dynamic functionality of a website, while preserving its static content.
Inspired in part by Karen Stevenson's excellent blog post, "Sending a Drupal Site into Retirement," I wanted to outline a few other techniques for accomplishing this.
Reasons you may want to create a static copy of a site:
Suppose you're using taxomomy terms in exposed filters, and you want the resulting page to display one of the the terms as a title. Taxonomy term pages will give this to you very easily, but sometimes the taxonomy term page is not the right solution. Here's how you can display the taxonomy term as the title of your views page.
In this post, I continue my series on how to override Open Framework's default styles to get a more custom look-and-feel on your site. Last time we looked at how to override the main menu styles. Today, we'll look at how to customize your typography.
