Hey, did you know you could post your blog in a Facebook page and benefit from all of Facebook’s social bells and whistles without even installing a single plugin?

All you need to do is to get a free Facebook Application ID, create a Facebook “Fan page”, configure the Facebook app to grab a page from your blog, smack it onto a custom tab in the Fan page and bingo!

Let’s review in detail how this works step-by-step…

Since WordPress 2.8, a new kind of caching mechanism has been added to WordPress. it is not very well documented yet (I could not find any relevant page in the Codex. Please leave a comment if you find one).

According to this WordPress core development trac discussion, that feature has been introduced so that “non-persistent” or otherwise “short-lived” data that used to be stored in the “options” database table can be distinguished from “real options data” that is meant to be persistent (ie, live forever in the database until it is updated or erased).

Je retranscris ici un petit memento que je me suis fait pour “remonter” rapidement une configuration opérationnelle sous Debian 5 / Apache2 / PHP5 / Mysql pour héberger des sites sur un serveur dédié GNU/Linux type OVH ou Kimsufi. Cette configuration, qui inclut également eAccelerator et des outils de supervision et d’administration de base (Munin, phpsysinfo, mtop, PhpmyAdmin, AWStats) est opérationnelle et suffisamment sécurisée pour une installation standard (à condition de faire régulièrement toutes les mises à jour des packages). En tout cas pour moi c’est bon©®™.
