Changes to Facebook Notifications, Requests and Invitations Start Today
As promised on the Facebook Developer’s Roadmap, the locations of notifications, requests and invitations will be changed/moved today.
I’m sure we will all enjoy spending time looking for the new locations and the interruption to our workflow ;-)
But, plus side is that we’ve been told in advance and were given an actual date for when the change would happen.
So, here’s what’s been changed with notifications and where they will now be located.
14 Flickr Plugins for WordPress
I really like Flickr for photo sharing and to find photos with Creative Commons licenses to use in my blog posts.
There are also a lot of fun Flickr groups on pretty much any topic that you can think of.
So, since so many of us use Flickr I decided to list some of the best Flickr plugins for WordPress.
7 Free Facebook Themes for WordPress
The Facebook interface isn’t too bad.
The biggest issue I have with it is that Facebook changes it too often. As soon as you get used to where settings and features are located, they are moved.
I don’t know about you but since the last update, I keep moving my mouse to the left for the home page and to the right for search. I’m sure I will get used to it but I am losing precious seconds of my time ;-)
Here are 6 WordPress themes that have a Facebook like layout (old and new).
How to Use FBML to Display Your Profile Photo on a Custom Facebook Fan Page
On custom Facebook pages images must exist on your own server (or somewhere else on the internet) and linked to from the Facebook page code.
The only images that can be uploaded directly to Facebook are the logo for your fan page and the image used on your profile page.
FBML provides code that will pull your profile or logo picture to your fan page so you don’t have to link to it from a different server.
Here’s how you do it.
How to See All the Ads Being Served to You on Facebook
If you are anything like me, you are annoyed by most ads that are presented to you on Facebook. Very rarely do I see on that I am interested in and it’s usually for a fan page.
Admittedly, I don’t like any advertising and is the probably why I don’t watch much television. During the Super Bowl so many people said that they were only watching the game for the ads and I kept thinking that ads were the last thing that I would want to see. Of course, advertising is so pervasive that it isn’t possible to be free from them.
WordPress 2.9.2 Released: Security Release for Trash
You may have noticed the WordPress update in your WordPress admin for version 2.9.2.
This is a security release but isn’t one to worry about unless you have multiple authors on your blog and particularly if anyone is allowed to register as an author.
And it can be an issue if you leave “sensitive” posts in the trash, which is a new feature of the WordPress 2.9 series.
Basically any logged in user can view posts left in the trash. Even posts that they didn’t write.
