I’m Never Going To Get This Long URL In My Twitter Post

January 30, 2010 By Jeffrey 2 Comments

Tiny URL’s ……. what’s up with that ? I don’t know about you but the fact that my post URL goes from: “What I Did On My Summer Vacation” to: http://fe.f48/EFA1.z ……… leaves me a little unsettled. If you ask the Tech guys they’ll tell you how it shows good form. That’s GEEK …

Dealing With WordPress TV

January 23, 2010 By Jeffrey Leave a Comment

For those who follow this blog, you are probably aware that I’m not a big codex fan. Dealing with the endless forums and broken links, I can honestly say that I don’t think I have ever found a solution to my problem through the codex. I am however, kinda impressed with WordPress TV …….. kinda.

While I’m pretty sure that the codex is a lost cause, I have hope for WordPress TV. Video after all is the going rage these days for the blogger. However, while working with WordPress TV I have noticed some bugs that you should be aware of.

I just can’t put my finger on it. How is it that the WordPress software is bullet proof, but the support is so weak? I just don’t get it. I digress !

One of the cool things about WordPress TV is the ability to actually embed the video inside your post. Yeah, Yeah, Yeah, Youtube this ! But WordPress TV is at least a little better in quality than the other video services that allow you to embed. To control traffic to their sites some of the better one’s don’t even let you embed. So to have a good quality video to embed inside your blog about blogging is like kinda cool.

When you reach the video that you want to embed, you will see the word “embed” in the top left of the video. Once you click on the control menu button, you will see a drop down menu that gives you several choices. Unfortunately, those choices don’t include anything that will fit your template more than likely, so you will have to adjust the dimensions in the embedded code. I’ve provide the code so that you can check out the dimensions change.

The “Copy To Clipboard” thing is kinda cranky too, so be patient. It doesn’t always want to copy or paste for that matter.

Here it is for those who need a quick look see:

Adding Twitter Links To Your Posts

January 9, 2010 By Jeffrey Leave a Comment

It seems that Twitter is all the rage these days, really pretty cool when you think about it. I personally think tweets should be more than 140 charters, but what do I know ? I don’t have a Twitter Account for this website yet, but I do have one for Bloggers Market.com. I have a link at the top of the homepage, but for the coming …

Why not just download that theme again and use the single.php from the download?

Shane G. on “WordPress won’t change my 8mb file upload limit”

January 6, 2010 By Shane G.

Hi,

Add this code in htaccess and have a check:

php_value upload_max_filesize 20M
php_value post_max_size 20M
php_value max_execution_time 200
php_value max_input_time 200

This will allow you to upload up to max 20MB. You can change the limit according to your requirement.

Thanks,

Shane G.

I just installed a theme purchased from Theme Forest (http://themeforest.net/item/delericon-businessportfolio-template-wordpress/76635), installed and after installation received these errors:

Warning: fopen(/home/content/j/r/c/jrclyle2/html/blog/wp-content/themes/Delericon/style.css): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/j/r/c/jrclyle2/html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3580

Warning: fread(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/content/j/r/c/jrclyle2/html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3583

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /home/content/j/r/c/jrclyle2/html/blog/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3586

The theme preview in the Admin tool displays as blank. I am not well-versed in php nor do I have a good enough grasp of how each piece works together. Can someone please help!?

dbUNIT16 on “Site Suddenly Gone! What Happened?”

January 6, 2010 By dbUNIT16

The problem is that I have made so many customizations that if I upload a new install then I will be screwed!

Something interesting to note as well... my other domain, same server, without as many customizations... isn't working either: http://www.azfanstore.com

Any ideas?
