I am just trying to see how well this WordPress app publishes photos taken with my iPhone. In the past this app has been wretched.
What bothers me with this app is that I can’t place the photos where I want them to be in the post. If you happen to know a way for this to be done please let me know.
Thanks!
A little while later…
…oh wait I figured it out. The code for the photo shows up at the bottom and I can just select, cut and paste where necessary. While it’s tedious on an iPhone it’s effective.
Good night…er morning. lol
By the way here is a screen shot of my home screen after spending literally an hour organizing my apps into folders categorically. I love this new OS despite it’s faults, which is for another blog post later on. Sheesh!
[UPDATE]
I failed to give credit to a cool twitter follower that lead me to the awesome iPhone/iPod Touch apps bookshelf you see above. He’s knunez on twitter. Thanks Kevin!
If you’d like this wallpaper on your homescreen too, you can just go here with your iPhone’s twitter app. (For this to work as your homescreen wallpaper you will need to have updated your device to iOS4.)
Tap the image or link (depending on your twitter app in use).
Tap the screen again to clear the controls.
Do a screen grab of the image.
Go to your photos album and make it a wallpaper like usual and you’re done.
If you’ve been wanting to give your self-hosted wordpress blog a more fully owned customized appeal, then I’m sure it will help by getting rid of that silly WordPress logo on your login page.
Here’s how!
All you need is a custom logo of your own, add just text or do both like I did in the image above.
Step 1: Create an image in Adobe Photoshop with the following dimensions: 310px by 70px.
Step 2: Export it as a .gif and name it “logo-login.gif”
Step 3: Use an ftp client or however you access your files in your hosting account and upload the image to the “images” folder. Location path: wp-admin>images
Step 4: Finally, go to your login page (www.yourdomain.com/wp-admin) or refresh your browser if you’re already there. Voila! Custom login page.
You’re welcome!
P.S. While I’d love to brag that I made this discovery on my own, I must give credit where credit is due to the ever so wonderful WordPress developers at pagelines.com.
I have been using the Apture plugin on this blog for many months now and I truly love it! It has helped save me time in researching for blog posts and making embedding content a whole lot easier. But not only can it be useful for authoring this blog, but it can also make understanding and researching certain portions of a post for the reader very convenient.
So I have one simple question for you: Have you had a chance to try out the Apture feature on this blog and was it helpful.
If you haven’t utilized it as a reader here, would you please try it out and leave a comment. I am a little pass due to email the Apture developers about my experience with it, but before I do I’d like a little input from you.
One of the questions about our new terms of use is whether Facebook can use this information forever. When a person shares something like a message with a friend, two copies of that information are created—one in the person’s sent messages box and the other in their friend’s inbox. Even if the person deactivates their account, their friend still has a copy of that message. We think this is the right way for Facebook to work, and it is consistent with how other services like email work. One of the reasons we updated our terms was to make this more clear.
Well that was quite a round about way of answering. Are you (the reader) satisfied with this reply?

ORIGINAL POST – February 16, 2009
I just read that Facebook has a new terms of service or shall we refer to the new TOS as “Terms of Screwing” you and your content, for lack of a better phrase. No matter what you do now, any content that you have uploaded to Facebook belongs to them…FOR-E-VER!! Kind of gives of the scene in the movie “The Sandlot” where the kid ominously repeats “forever.”
I’m not going to re-hash what can be read in the original online source (theconsumerist.com), but what has me dazed and confused was pointed out by one commenter that goes by the name of Silver Bolt.
He stated:
[Facebook TOS]: ‘You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual , non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license.’
–
[Facebook TOS]: ‘You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.’
–
Those two sections were contradictory in the first place. How can a irrevocable forever license expire?
