Installing forums in Buddypress without sounding like a sailor!
Finally there is a compatible bbpress version to go with buddypress. I was having no luck before getting forums integrated into buddypress so I did the only smart thing I could think of. I walked away. Now here we are about 2 months later and things are looking good. And even better, someone wrote up some detailed [...] Related posts:- Blank screen when installing Wordpress 2.5 As I said I am slowly moving a few of...

A Tale Of Two Tribes
Exactly one year ago Seth Godin started his triiibes.com network for the launch of his book “tribes”. We will call this Group A.

Looking back one year later, this is what I see they had in [...] No related posts.Warning: fsockopen() [function.fsockopen]: unable to connect to submissions.ask.com:80 (Connection refused) in

I run a social group that has about 100 members. The site averages about 20 hits a day and every few days a couple of people pop in and write a post or 2. It is active but it can go for a few days with no action. Well, the other day I got spammed! Someone [...] No related posts.Main Buddypress environment object
I was looking for the cleanest way to reorganize some menu items and I happened across the core buddypress environment object: $bp. To access this you will have to make it a global first. global $bp; echo $bp->loggedin_user->fullname; This echos ‘admin’; There are lots of good tidbits in there so if you are going to be doing some major [...] Related posts:- Installing forums in Buddypress without sounding like a sailor!

Fun with the windows host file
Does apple.com use apache? It does on my PC. If you want to use a domain on your PC instead of localhost, your windows host file is the key. On XP or Vista, go to c:windows\system32\drivers\etc and open the host file. This file has no extension so don’t let that trick you.

Helpful Twitter searches
I have recently discovered some useful twitter search parameters. Search within a date To find all searches from some date until now, go to twitter.search.com and type in: @mattkern since:2009-01-19 The “since” syntax gives you a nice date parameter in the yyyy/mm/dd format. You can also add “until” to get a particular time frame. @mattkern since:2009-01-19 until:2009-01-26 This returns everyone that has referenced in [...] Related posts:- Twitter Roundup I have seen a growing number of “Twitter for Business”...
