How to Remove a Facebook Application from your News Feed

by

Zarko Drincic - Yesterday news (by Zarko Drincic)

As much as I love my facebook friends there are some applications that I don’t want or need to see clogging up my news feed. The application can be removed from the news feed, although it isn’t obvious, and you won’t have to de-friend your first boyfriend.

For this example, let’s use … hmm … I don’t know … how about Mafia Wars? While I am thrilled that so many people enjoy playing this on Facebook, I am not playing and the status updates telling me you just got a new gun or killed the bad guy mean absolutely nothing to me. And when I really busy and am trying to get caught up, they are completely annoying.

How to Add a Custom Tab to a Facebook Fan Page

by

Tab (by Joe Shlabotnik)

Update 2/17/11: After March 11, 2011 the Static FBML application will no longer be available. It will continue to work on existing custom tabs but all new tabs will need to be created with Iframes. Please see my tutorial on how to create a custom Facebook page tab with Iframes.

People often ask how to rename the page tabs on their facebook fan pages. Unfortunately, this functionality does not currently work. Facebook used to have this feature but it hasn’t worked since the last update.

You can, however, use the fbml application to create a custom box that is used as a tab. The tab will be whatever you name it, such as Welcome or Services, and that tab will contain whatever data you included in that fbml box.

Another month has coming to a close. It seems that time just keeps going by faster and faster. Summer has finally set in here and I am trying to keep cool without air conditioning. Once it hits the high 90’s with 90% humidity, I may have to turn it on. But for now I’m trying to conserve money and energy.

Using WordPress Custom Fields to Display NextGen Gallery Slideshows Conditionally

by

SR 20 - Snow Slide (by Washington State Dept of Transportation)

When I was setting up up the NextGen Gallery plugin to manage my portfolio I decided I also wanted to display a slideshow of the images on certain pages. Since NextGen has a Slideshow feature built in (sort of but I’ll get to that) I assumed that this would be a piece of cake (and why is something that is easy called a piece of cake anyway?). But it wasn’t as simple as I though it would be. Fortunately, I found some awesome resources to help me out.

Let’s step back for a second though. NextGen DOES have a slideshow but not ALL of the functionality is built in.
