Because you are the expert on the topic, kindly explain to her that a blog you can build in 30 minutes won't be of the same quality as the one that you could build in three hours. The reason that you are getting paid for web development is not because you know how to build a website. Anyone can do that. You work with Drupal: you build kick-ass websites that work well, are stable and secure, and supported by a community of tens of thousands of people. <br>
<br>That said, if she doesn't want the work done, there's nothing saying you have to do it anyways. Just move on to another client.<br clear="all">-----<br>Cameron Eagans<br>Owner, Black Storms Studios, LLC<br><a href="http://www.blackstormsstudios.com">http://www.blackstormsstudios.com</a><br>

so, I have a client using blog/blog_api. She complains because of the blog naming, the breadcrumb, the naming of the remotely submitted blog article, the url, and more. String_override doesn't work with the blog name. So I told her that if we set it up as a custom content type instead of using blog, there's a log more I could do. I estimated 3 hours to change over everything, create the view, test all the page/url/article/breadcrumb naming, etc. She said my estimate was wrong, because she saw an article on creating a blog in 30 minutes. I need to find a way to make money developing with clients!!!!<br>
