Customize Facebook Emoticon
When I was talking about Facebook Emoticon for WordPress, lots of question came in and asked something like this:
How to add this to my Facebook?
Well, I have to repeatedly explain that the plugins are meant to be used on a WordPress-based blogs. You don’t have to add that to your Facebook, because it was Facebook’s emoticon in the first place anyway.
But since there is a high-demand upon customized emoticon for Facebook, I’m going to tell you how to make one for yourself by using free stuff such as Facemood. This is fun, believe me.
iPod Shuffle on its way!
If you’ve been here a lot, you probably have already notice that I speed up the blog update frequency. But if the last post was about some technical issue that would probably only be useful for those WordPress blog users, this time it’s an opportunity for everyone to win an iPod Shuffle.
Who doesn’t want an iPod!? Well, I do! And to be honest, this isn’t the first time I try to get one on my hands. Remember that NameCheap’s Twitter Trivia Contest? Yes you are right, I didn’t win the iPod back then.
But now, since a chance showed up.. I’m going to put all my effort in it.
WordPress Maintenace Notice
When you work on your wordpress blog, for example modify the theme or back-up your database, would you prefer to suspend the blog while you perform the task? Or do you prefer to act careless and let others see that uncompleted job of yours?
I’d prefer to suspend the blog. Why? Because it’s a nuisance for me, when I’m backing-up my database, somebody posted a comment, which will absolutely be left out from my database back-up. So I think giving a notice to visitors that the blog is under maintenance, and really suspend the blog from outer-side interaction, is a good step.
These following steps will suspend the wordpress blog, by showing a notice on every requested permalink. Its so simple, no plugins required. And it is much better instead of only putting a single emptied index.php file in your blog folder (because when people access the permalink, the content will still be available).
And here is how to do it..
