Social Bookmarking with Serendipity Blogs

Dr. Jackie Black wanted to add some functionality to her blog to connect it to social networking sites so I installed the social bookmarking plugin via spartacus and selected a few of the ones we opted to link to... 35 seconds and done!

Next she wanted to add a few more with larger icons to link to Twitter with a Tweet This link, stumble upon with a stumble this icon and a couple others.

These were not included in the Serendipity plugin - so they cant just be enabled like the others.

Now for a brief moment I thought to myself - maybe wordpress has gotten better because I know for a fact that there are already plugins for everything.

But then I snapped out of it and remembered WHY I love Serendipity blogs - A little bit of smart goes a long way!

I just had to modify the existing plugin's code and paste it into the template for the entries and BAM - Social networking glory reached WITHOUT a plugin!

Tweet THAT wordpress!

The rest of this is the techy details...

Facebook can import your blog!

Sometimes I come across something is facebook that strikes as kinda cool and the ability to import a feed is definitely pretty cool!

What makes this so darn exciting is that it really makes it a snap to incorporate new stuff I am building for a Life Coach Directory

If you blog - you should repurpose your posts into Facebook posts AUTOMAGICALLY!!

ask me how...

Quicktime Active X Error - 64 bit Vista

First time I used Vista I could not stand it!
It was a 32bit ultimate something or other on a fairly snappy laptop. It sure was pretty - but a lot of the software I used under XP Pro would not run (older versions of adobe products mostly) at all.

*Newer versions do not have this conflict as far as I know, but I do know taht I didn't want to buy new software.

So a year or so goes buy and I go out and buy a new PC with the intention of wiping the drive to get rid of Vista and stick with trusty XP Pro; but it turns out this new rig is a 64 bit quad core so it is not the same Vista.

So far the most tricky thing I have had to figure out is how to fix active x controllers missing for Apple's Quicktime player.

I found that information here:
http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-vista/fix-for-quicktime-error-46-could-not-find-or-load-activex-control/

Before that - anything that did not run was easy enough to fix by simply disabling the desktop composition when a program starts:

go to C:\Program Files (x86)\what_ever\ and right click on the program and under compatibility check "disable desktop composition or similar
