  Social Media: What to do if your Identity/Brand is Stolen

  There is no way to absolutely prevent people from using your organizational names, logos, branding, identity, and other copyrighted materials on social network sites (besides creating groups on every social network under every conceivable organization name, which is impractical).
  
  The best way to combat infringements is to:

  1. First, kindly ask the person who made the group to take it down.
  2. Second, ask the social network (most of the big ones have this) to take down the group/account, or at least restrict access, by filing a copyright/infringement claim.

  Windows 7 "God Mode"

  Oh IE, how I Hate Thee

  Oh Internet Explorer... how many times have I encountered your nasty little bugs? How many hours have you caused me to lament the fact that you exist?

  Websites like this make the baby Jesus cry...

  http://www2.mde.k12.ms.us/6812/WTHS%20HP.htm

  First things first... look at that URL! There are 5 parts to the domain name alone. Then what does all the gook after the / mean?

  Then click on the link and view the page. Yick! Sadly, this is the same as the state as half the Church websites I've seen around.

  How Do I Remove The Title in Drupal?

  Question:  How do I remove the Title in Drupal?  Wordpress has the option in the admin settings to remove the title so that only the banner image shows.  Is this also true in Drupal, or do I need to insert a conditional statement in my page or node template?
