Go to your twitter profile and scroll down to RSS feed and you’ll get something that looks like this:

Do you want to transfer this feed to FeedBurner? It’s simple, just follow these four easy steps:

1. Go To Your RSS Feed
   Go to your Twitter profile and scroll down to the end of the right column and you’ll see a RSS icon. Click it and copy the page address (or right click the link without clicking and copy). It should be something like this http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/15391375.rss
2. Login to FeedBurner/Register
3. Add your username and password to the URL
   You need to change the http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/15391375.rss to http://username:password@twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/15391375.rss
4. Paste the modified URL to FeedBurner and modify your settings!

See, it’s that simple. Now you have your feed and you can do whatever with it. Submit to an RSS directory, use it on your blog etc.

We all know Twitter, and we all know what it’s about and how its eventually cure AIDS, cancer, and the next big disease; all with 140 characters! Cool, eh? Blogging on the other hand is much more.. complex, I guess.

So let’s get to the point..
Why?
(more…)

You know those 140 character messages you send on Twitter? Yeah them. They’re called tweets and not twits.

Twits are pregnant goldfish. I don’t see how they have anything to do with birds and Twitter. Oh and just so you know, I think Twitter knows what they should be called.

Case closed.

I got an email today from Aaron, telling me to take a look at what he’s done with my WordPress theme Capricorn. What awesome tweaks he’s made! Definitely worth checking out.

If you’ve downloaded Capricorn and have tweaked it (not simple tweaks like changing the font)- contact me and I’ll take a look at it [and possibly post it].

Now, you all remember Big-Show.NET, right? Okay- so I’ve had thoughts of re-opening it. Would you like to see it back?

Capricorn hits 1000 more downloads.

1000 + 1000 = 2000

I’ve got a few people asking about how I got the seconds it took the page to load to display. Just wanna share the code:

1

<?php timer_stop(1); ?>  <?php echo $db->num_queries; ?>

Or you can simply use:

1

<?php echo('text before time' . timer_stop(0) . 'text after time'); ?>

HTML is allowed in text before time and text after time.

Works in a WordPress environment only.

Well as you may have seen, I’ve been changing themes quite frequently in the last few days. I decided to go back to Resurrection (my theme), and as I was looking through the comments code, I found this:

1

<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Log out of this account">Log out &raquo;</a></p>

What’s wrong with that you ask? If you’re on WordPress 2.7 (you better be), you’re gonna have a problem. In WordPress 2.7, you’ll notice there’s a wpnonce=x (x being random figures and letters) added to the logout URL. How do I get that when there’s a random figure there? Simple:

1

<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a>. <a href="<?php echo wp_logout_url(); ?>" title="Log out of this account">Log out &raquo;</a></p>

See the difference? It’s the echo wp_logout_url();. That function gives you the whole URL with the wpnounce.

Just upgraded – WordPress 2.7.1!
