Blogger Allows to Limit Which Labels to Display

In your Labels gadget in the sidebar of your Blogger blog, it now allows you to limit which labels are showing only.

My request though is the ability to filter labels only according to their frequency. Say, I just want to display the labels that were used more than once. I guess that's more relevant (and efficient) filter method.

How to Edit the Encrypted Footer in WordPress

In my search for WordPress-related downloads in Mininova, I came across some premium WordPress themes, which were and some are available only for download for a fee. However, the files are already manipulated by the uploader so that the footer (footer.php) contained encrypted text.

These text, when decrypted by php and presented already as your theme when deactivated from the WordPress backend contain the regular links from the original premium theme, PLUS some links for the benefit of the uploader. Some of these links are even malicious by nature that link to spam sites.

So how do you get rid of these links?

Simple. Just activate the theme, then on the front page, examine/view the source code (which is all html already)--from Firefox just press Ctrl+U. Then, copy the footer area, including the closing body and html tags, and paste those to the footer.php file in your downloaded theme files.

You may want to change some of these html files to php files in order for it to behave accordingly, just like when the html file contains the logout (from WordPress) link, you may want to change it to wp_loginout() so php can properly parse it according to whether you're already logged in or logged out of WordPress.

What I'm looking for in the Disqus Documentations

The problem I have so far with Tumblr is when moderating comments (replying especially) by email via my mobile phone. You see I have a push email in my mobile phone and it comes very handy when managing emails.

Now when I’m replying to a comment in Disqus, it handles the original email message different (than compared to when using the web interface of gmail). The last time I replied to a Disqus comment, my comment appeared with my signature (okay, I can delete the signature anytime) and then the phrase “—- original message ——”. Okay, the orignal message itself was excluded when it posted to my blog. But this obviously is annoying.

I searched through the Disqus documentation and I couldn’t find any article about handling such kind of problem. I’m not even sure if deleting the original message altogether is fine with Disqus.

For one thing, in IntenseDebate they have something like (!End) you put at the end of your message so that everything after it are disregarded. This is a great feature, only that it is not working! (Crap IntenseDebate).

The First Bug with the Dynamic Subject Line in Feedburner Email

Feedburner lately rolled out a feature wherein you can change the subject line of each email sent to you subscribers. This subject line is of course changing from each post title you post everyday. Read more about that feature here.

I took the plunge and availed of this new feature.

But of course, every first implementation will discover a but, or an error in implementation. An overlook, probably, on the part of the feedburner team.

As part of my feedburner "email" settings I checked the tickbox, "Send me an email whenever people unsubscribe (will be sent to your "from" address)."

However, lately, when some unsubscribed from my email feeds, feedburner sent me this message:

user@yahoo.com has unsubscribed from ${latestItemTitle}

Okay, could someone explain what is this? :D

Tweetdeck Now Allows You to Synchronize Your Columns Across Multiple Computers

Yes, it's good news. Beginning with Tweetdeck's latest version as of this writing (version 0.26.2), you may now synchronize your columns across all your computers where you have installed tweetdeck on. No more hacking to be done in order to save or export your settings from one tweetdeck client and import the same in another with another computer.

To avail of this feature, you need to update your installation in various computers, create an account with Tweetdeck (you can do this within the client alone) and login with Tweetdeck in each and every computer where you want to synchronize.

Wait, there's more! With this latest version, you can also manage (within Tweetdeck) you various Twitter accounts if you have any. No need to sign in and out from one account to another in order to post or read updates from your followings.

So if you haven't updated yet, make the upgrade now.

What is Tweetdeck

TweetDeck is your personal browser for staying in touch with what’s happening now, connecting you with your contacts across Twitter, Facebook and more.

TweetDeck shows you everything you want to see at once, so you can stay organised and up to date.

What I would Like to See as a New Feature in Disqus

Disqus interviews some famous bloggers and successful Disqus users about their experience beginning from scratch and the use of the Disqus commenting system. They post these interviews in the official Disqus blog.

One of the questions asked was, "If you could add one feature to Disqus, what would it be?".

I may not be worthy to be interviewed by the Disqus team, but I would like to voice out my idea of what I would like to see as a new feature in Disqus.

I wish there could be the ability for users to add multiple profiles to their Disqus accounts. I have various websites with various domain names, and if I put Disqus in each and every one of them using the code from my single Disqus account, commenting to these different websites (using that same Disqus account) will display the same avatar and links to the same domain name (whatever I indicated in my Disqus dashboard).

If I have various profiles (with different email addresses-- for gravatar purposes), maybe there could just be a dropdown menu in the comment area to select the profile I want to use while commenting on a particular website. That way, I don't have to create another Disqus account (plus the hassle of signing out and in) in order to accomodate the various profiles I want to project to the world wide web.

The New Import Tool in Posterous

From the Posterous blog:

Do you have an old blog collecting dust? Something you started years ago, but never kept up with because it's just too hard?

In just a few clicks, import all your old posts *and media* into Posterous, and be done with that old crufty site for good.

This is indeed a welcome development in Posterous. I just wonder how it'll handle blog posts and media from a self-hosted WordPress blog. If it can successfully, it's a good way to backup my data in my WordPress blog.

How I just wish we're already offered the opportunity to customize the look of our Posterous blog. And yes, the proper handling of custom domains.

Allowed Memory Size Fatal Error in WordPress

If you are on WordPress, you might have experienced the same error while upgrading plugins and other actions from the backend:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 33554432 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate...)

This particularly happened to me while automatically upgrading Google Sitemap Plugin.

To solve this, this trick worked for me.

Edit your wp-config.php to include the following line:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

I just hope this will work for you too.
