Facebook FBML Ends June 1, 2012
It’s amazing how fast 6 months can go by!
Last October I wrote an article about when FBML would completely end and we would now longer be able to use it.
We knew last Fall that this would happen in June, but now we have an exact date. FBML will no longer exist after June 1, 2012.
10 Upcoming Features in WordPress 3.4
The release of WordPress 3.4 is not imminent and will probably be ready this summer but I thought it would be a good time to discuss some of the planned features in the new version.
Many of the changes are related to themes, theme options, and searching for themes as well as many bug fixes. Otherwise, I don’t see anything too exciting but there are some useful features.
How to Display Different WordPress Sidebar Widgets on Different Pages with the Widget Logic Visual Plugin
I am frequently asked how different widgets can be used on different pages of a WordPress site. For example, someone might want a Facebook like box to show up on the Home page but not on other pages of the site.
I usually set up the Widget Logic plugin but that plugin does require some understanding of simple code and it’s not easy for all users.
Recently I discovered that there is a similar plugin, called Widget Logic Visual, which is much easier to use and does require knowing any code.
Please Use Useful and Descriptive Email Subject Lines
I think people should pay more attention to the subject line used in emails. When someone gets a lot of email the sender is, of course, important but so is the subject line in determining which emails should take priority.

And, it’s amazing at the number of emails that have useless subject lines or even ones that make me want to never open and read it.
Do You Ever Feel Like This? Trying to Open a Package Like Larry David
I’ve been busier than usual lately with a number of really big projects. So, I haven’t had a much time to write up posts. I have topics that I want to write about but they are more in depth and will take longer than I have right now. I used to write posts in advance for times like this but that just hasn’t seemed to happen lately.
So, if you don’t have anything prepared, it doesn’t really make much sense to bother posting, does it?
How to Turn Off Facebook Notifications
I get a lot of Facebook notifications. Unfortunately, many of them are for things in which I am not interested, such as game requests. While I like video games, I’ve never played one on Facebook and have no plans to do so. And, while I have all email from Facebook turned off, the notifications fill up within Facebook quickly.
So, I decided to see if I could remove the game notifications. Unfortunately, there isn’t a single setting and they need to be done individually.

My Top 10 Pet Peeves
While I try to be a patient, tolerant and kind person there are a number of things that totally drive me up the wall.
Although many of my pet peeves are related to rude and inconsiderate things that people do rather than my own personality quicks.
Anyway, here’s the list of things that push me over the edge.
