Some days ago a reader asked for advice when his blog got hacked. We recommended some good security measures to keep WordPress safe. In case you missed it, read the post here: What if my WordPress Blog Got Hacked with the Google Redirect?
If you want to show your Facebook Statuses and you are hosting on a WordPress.com blog that restricts you from installing plugins, try this. The following method make use of Facebook status feed and WordPress RSS widget. It will also work for self-host WordPress blogs, but you guys who self-host can use better plugins for that.
WordPress is more than just a blogging tool. It can be used as a Content Management System (CMS) for many different purposes. It has a built in system for most things you would have to code yourself, or pay for an expensive custom application. With a little creativity, you can use basic features to power almost anything you want.
One of the most important things to a website with any hopes of establishing a user connection is having user accounts.
Now, blogs get by here by having comments tied to emails, which is similar in a way. But you’re most likely looking to have unique accounts for your site. This was every user can login, logout, edit their profile and have special privileges. WordPress also allows you (as an admin) to control the level and permissions of all other users.

I saw someone using windows media player on vista the other day and it inspired me to make a website menu. So here are the steps I went through to make my media player style menu.
Start off with a canvas with the size of 800X200px and make the background color black (#000000).
Next I want to put a few guides in to make the menu. I am going to use the rulers to make my guides. If you have never used the ruler to put guides on your canvas, you should try it because it helps out more than you would think.
An AJAX (or AHAH) proof-of-concept page that allows the visitor to edit the very (x)HTML page they are viewing, without leaving the page.
Click the text to be edited and magically a textarea appears with buttons beneath to save or cancel the changes. Changes are sent via AHAH to a PHP script which normally would be used to update a database (MYSQL or flatfile).
