This morning I switched hosts away from Budget Dedicated to Start Logic. BD was a great host but I found have a virtual server being just a tad more than I needed. When I signed up for the account I had plans for the server. Plans which never really came to fruition. So today I move on. SL is only a temporary host until I find one that I really like and is not mind blowingly expensive for hosting. I have this SL account because I used to work for them, they are not a bad company to host with. Servers are fast, they give 5gigs of space and 100gigs of bandwidth. I personally don’t like thier control panel very much and so I will be spending the next few months searching for another host. If you have any suggestions I would be glad to hear them

Having trouble with your blog/post titles in coComment? Kristin has the fix … once you do this however your blog will still show up as untitled as it is stored in the database, hopefully those lovely folks over at coComment will have a way to remedy that as fast as they give out invited to wanting geeks =)
(0)I read about this service called coComment that does something along the same lines as Daves X-Comments. Seems like it would be a really cool service. It is currently invite only though … anyone got an extra invite to pass my way? ;-)
*Edit* – Posted right before I went to bed, had an invite when I woke up! Thanks coComment!
So the upgrade to WordPress v2.0.1 went very smoothly. I am still loathe to upgrade k2 until a final version comes out … I don’t want to have to redo all my changes every time there is a new rev :-P When the final does finally come out I plan on turning all of my changes into include files and noting down where they go in each file to make the process much more smooth.
I started my new job last Monday. I work for a local company here in the Detroit area doing PHP development for them. Nothing really high end just basic entry level stuff, right up my alley =) That’s why I have been seldom to update, kinda busy doing that and trying to figure a few things out. I need to buy a car like yesterday. I still haven’t been able to get around to reviewing 30 Boxes yet, but I have been using it a bit. Hopefully I will be able to get something out this weekend.
I got an email the other day asking me how I got FAlbum working with K2 so I thought I would do a nice little writeup for it.
1. Download and install FAlbum.
2. Download and install Page Links-To plugin from txfx.net.
3. Go to the options page for FAlbum, under Use Friendly URL’s I chose ‘numeric’ because I don’t really name most of my photo’s accordingly, but you can choose by name if you want. Under URL Root I put ‘/photos/’(without the ‘s) but again you can put whatever you want. Set the rest of the options accordingly. Oh and make sure you give FAlbum read authority to your flickr account!
5. If your .htaccess is not writeable you will need to copy and paste the rewrite rule from the FAlbum options page to your .htaccess file. I would recomend checking anyways because the FAlbum rewrite rule needs to be before the WP rewrite rules.
4. Follow the instructions on the FAlbum Wiki for integrating with k2 to setup your Photo’s page. When you create the page, make the slug whatever you want other than the URL Root you chose, and use the page links-to plugin and create a meta field that links to http://yourdoma.in/your_url_root/ … Also make sure and edit the header.php file like it says in the howto so you get the nifty little tab hilight going at the top.
That should be it … if you have any problems leave a comment and I will try and help you out with it.
