Shaolin Tiger’s “How to Use RSS Feeds on Your WordPress Site” describes a simple step-by-step technique for creating a Page to host incoming RSS feeds using the WordPress Feedlist Plugin.

Follow the instructions, replacing “http://www.spymy.com/” with whatever feed link URL you would like and with little effort or complex programming, you can showcase feeds on your blog.

This technique is not limited to Pages on your WordPress blog. You can also use the same technique in your template files such as in your sidebar, header, or footer.

Stay tuned for more information on handling feeds in WordPress.

How to add RSS buttons to your blog

SS buttons are an easy way to let your readers add your blog to Netvibes, iGoogle, Yahoo, Wikio or any other online RSS reader.

Many of those services even have created tools for creating those RSS buttons within a few seconds. All you will have to do is paste the generated html code where you want on your blog.

Here are links to some of those RSS button tools:

Netvibes button tool

iGoogle button tool

My Yahoo button tool

Pageflakes button tool

Webwag button tool

Wikio.com button tool

RSS button maker

The last one comes from the TopRank Online Marketing Blog and might be one of the best RSS button tools, since it gives you the possibility of creating several buttons with one single operation. You can even chose if you want to get simple html code, a dropdown menu or blog specific code.

Important notice:
You need to know the exact URL of your RSS feed for all of those tools except for the Netvibes tool. Netvibes will normally identify your feed or make several propositions (at least one of them should work).

If you use Feedburner, you might not be able to use some of these tools. This applies apparently for the Wikio tool.

If you are unable to identify your feed, you might want to check out the FAQ pages concerning your blog. Some blogs might not have any RSS capabilities, so none of these tools will work.

How to Add an RSS Feed on Blogger

Blogger.com is a popular blogging site that provides not only the storage space and bandwidth for a blog, but also a number of tools that can make a blog more effective.

5. 
   
   Step 5
   
   Paste the RSS link URL into the "Feed URL" box of the Blogger "Configure Feed" dialog. Select "Continue." If you make a mistake, click "Cancel" and start again.

7. 
   
   Step 7
   
   Place your new feed. The feed you just added will show up as the top item in your list of side page elements.

A88 - Among The Newest Dual Sim iPhone Clones With Shake And Tilt Technology

There is little dispute that China's iPhone clones were a resounding success. Not only the iClone very convincingly copy iPhone technology, they actually changed the technology with some improvements that should remain.

First, the Chinese clones has a removable battery and surround speakers, and these features were highly valued. But the premiums that would sell these phones long after the iPhone frenzy abated, the film was guaranteed to unlockFunction, dual sim (two phone numbers) feature, and the new shake and tilt feature. These three things have to ensure that these phones are no longer incorporated Fly by Night knock offs and are here to stay.

The A88 is one of the latest shake of iClone and inclination. With this new technology, if you change songs, wallpapers, videos or photos to shake, just the phone. You did not look down or scroll even bothered to. Even if you can see a video or viewPhotos or media, if you want to change the phone to widescreen, you need only to overturn it.

As the clones that inspired it, the A88 has full smartphone features like an oversized touchscreen with finger touch and the ability to surf the Web, e-mail and text, as well as full MP3 / MP4 capabilities, and a built-in Web cam and digital camera.

CECT A380i - The Newest iClone To Introduce Shake Technology And Improvements Upon The iPhone

Published in January 2008 alone, the CECT A380i is the latest iClone from China not only copy but improve on iPhone technology. Although this phone looks and performs just as impressive as the iPhone, it actually improves on areas where the iPhone was missing.

For example, the A380i has an extra SIM slot is such that it is a dual-SIM. This gives you the option of two mobile phone numbers without ever closing on the phone. Ithas also boosted the iPhone by unlocking with a removable battery, additional speakers and a slide function, which you unlock the phone and immediately use all airlines allow you. (A huge drawback with the iPhone is that you are forced to use AT & T service, which can be very expensive.)

In addition, the A380 has an expandable memory via Micro SD cards. The iPhone does not have this memory capability. Perhaps the most innovative of the improvementsto the iPhone is the clone of "acceleration" or "shake technology" which is when the songs, like wallpapers, photos, or change, means that you just shake the phone to the media beforehand. You do not look or spend a lot of time browsing.

More the CECT A380i has everything that makes the iPhone so popular: build the high-resolution 3.0-inch touchscreen, an integrated digital camera, Bluetooth, a video camera and MP3 / MP4 player. The clone does not requireSoftware. The phone can automatically read every SIM card.

The cost of this phone starts at about $ 150. The more time passes, these prices may fall too, but the phone is already pretty reasonably priced for the latest, new and improved, high-performance technology. The clone is a wonderful opportunity for someone to try these features in a smartphone / pda / media player, with no plans to pay the full price.

Premium Plaxo for Comcast users …

I recently switched from DSL (which I'd had since it first was invented) to Comcast Cable for my Internet connection (and TV and phone). By doing so I saved about a hundred bucks a month over AT&T and DirecTV. Of course as soon as I switched, AT&T started calling me with a bundle that was roughly the same price, but that's a different story.

One of the things that happened a while back was that Plaxo was bought by Comcast. I have always been a premium Plaxo user, feeling that I wanted to support them since I find the product so incredibly useful. What I learned was that if you are a Comcast subscriber, you are automatically a Plaxo premium user.

Now, being a premium subscriber used to only mean you got VIP support and access to a couple of tools (like the address and calendar deduplication tool). But now Plaxo has announced that the Outlook synch is a premium member only tool. While I worry that this decreases the value of the service (since there will be fewer reasons for people to sign up, therefore fewer members, and decreasing the number of automatic updates I get), what is interesting is that every Comcast subscriber gets access to these premium services.

GTUG Campout - doin’ the Wave …

I recently attended the Google Technology User Group Campout at the Googleplex in Mountain View. This was a three day sprint to build something interesting with the latest Google product: Google Wave.

Google Wave, as it turns out is a very interesting experiment in social interaction. Google is trying to reinvent collaborative communication with a piece of software that is one part chat, one part Wiki, and one part WebEx.

I'd seen this product at the Google I/O conference a few months back and was impressed with the demos. Basically you get these shared documents (called Waves) that all of the collaborators can update at the same time. You can watch the hour and a half demo at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_UyVmITiYQ

The demo included things like interaction with blogs, Twitter and other web technologies, as well as interesting programming doing things like on the fly grammar checking. I signed up for a sandbox account the day of the presentation (using my iPhone of course), and got set up a week or so after that.

Wave was written by the brothers Lars and Jans Rasmussen, who are the architects of the Google Maps API. In some sense, this is an experiment in building software caused by the lessons they learned with the immensely popular Maps API. By giving the developers access early in the build process, they hope to build a more solid platform that will serve the developers needs.

iPhone Visual Voice Mail returns

This weekend, AT&T finally fixed my visual voice mail. I still don't know what they did to fix it, but I'm pretty sure it's related to a hack that I've been reading about which lets the phone do tethering.

Now I didn't try this hack on my newly replaced phone, but when I asked the AT&T people about it, they said they were working on a fix on their side for a wider problem (meaning I wasn't the only one who had gone without visual voice mail for some time).

I'm hopeful that this problem won't recur, but I wonder if perhaps it was caused by AT&T trying to block the tethering hack. Now my phone is happy again, and I'm no longer missing calls (at least as far as I can tell).

Microsoft Office self-incompatibilities …

I received an post on a group I follow reminding people not to send out documents in the Office 2007 format of Word. Now, I've been using the 2007 suite since the first betas (way before 2007), and have learned this lesson more than once (mostly because of lost settings when I've had to do a reinstall).

The new format for files in Office was created by Microsoft in an attempt to create an open file structure. Any file you save in a default install of 2007, will have the letter "x' appended to the file extension, signifying that it is saved in this new format.

There are many ways to deal with this problem, and the most successful strategy is actually to simply configure your 2007 products to default to saving in the older format.

Advantage Mac (again) …

This month has been a bad one for me and computers. First my MacBook Pro died (due to a video card that had been recalled), and then my desktop PC decided to fall over dead.

The Mac failure was another study in why I love Apple service: The video just died one day, no screen, external monitor wouldn't work. Since a Mac has a real operating system (Mac OS X - a Unix variant), I was able to determine that the machine was actually still working by connecting from my desktop PC using ssh.

I did a bit of system administration black magic, and turned on the remote desktop service (see http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2370 or http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2081446&tstart=1 for a writeup of how), and was able to connect to my MBP using VNC. That allowed me to validate things were working, and to make sure I had a current backup before doing anything else.

A quick call to Apple's support desk, and the helpful tech looked up the problem, found there was a recall on the video logic board for certain MBP systems, and walked me through a few things to validate it wasn't just user error. He gave me a case number, told me to go to the Apple store, and have them check for the recall.

Adventures in iPhone beta land

...Or how to brick your phone with an upgrade, and recover...

Earlier this month, Apple released the fifth beta of their 3.0 firmware for the iPhone. As usual, I raced to the site to download it.

I became very excited by the email that I got saying that submissions to the Apple store have to be compatible with iPhone OS 3.0, which to me means it won't be long before this is a production OS. With that in mind, I strapped on my crazy cap and decided to upgrade my phone to beta 5.

Oracle and Sun - Better Microsoft competition ?

I was thinking about this as I drove to work this morning: what is the real business value to Oracle of buying Sun ?

It occurred to me that part of the many benefits to Oracle are the products that help them compete better with the Microsoft offerings. Could this be another in a long line of acquisitions by Larry Ellison in his quest to make Oracle a more successful company than Microsoft ?

Why is Microsoft bashing Apple ?

Today I read a blog that was a continuation of the series of ads that Microsoft has about why you should buy a PC instead of a Mac.

The article (see http://tinyurl.com/cncx73) was one of those cutesy marketing ideas that looked at the alleged difference in cost between a Mac and a PC and came up with an imaginary tax rebate based on the savings. The author used this whitepaper as the basis for the comparison. Like all of these comparisons, comparing apples to oranges results in the preferred hardware (in this case the PC) being shown to be a better deal.

I do most of my work on a MacBook Pro, after being a laptop user for more years than I care to count. I switched when it became possible to do so without giving up Windows. With the current crop of Apple machines, you have the option of running Windows directly, setting things up to dual boot (BootCamp), or running Windows in a VM (using Parallels, Fusion, VirtualBox, etc.)

Which once again leads me to ask why would Microsoft bash Apple ?

iPhone beta Recovery …

Recently I downloaded the iPhone beta 3.0 firmware upgrade and decided (without thinking it through) to update my phone to use the new version. In hindsight, Apple makes it pretty clear this is a bad idea, and warns you that you won't be able to revert to a prior version of the software:



But warnings were meant to be ignored, so I blithely went ahead and updated with the new firmware. Immediately after doing so, I had a d'oh moment when I realized I better not have my business phone running on beta software, so I wanted to revert.

No problem I thought, I'll just follow the steps to downgrade that I wrote about previously ...

How to Downgrade Your iPhone (or iPod) Operating System

On the first day of 360iDev, I was in a session to learn about programming an iPhone, and somebody mentioned that a friend of theirs had updated their iPod firmware, and couldn't figure out how to reset it back to the prior version. Since I had recently done this, I thought I could write this walk-through.

Share A Calendar with a Group …

One of the things I always struggle with as a project manager is how to communicate availability. If I'm using a corporate email system like Exchange, it is extremely easy to set up calendars to be shared, and everybody using that system has the ability to at least see your free/busy status which helps in setting up meetings.But when you're dealing with a disparate group, who don't have access to the same information, figuring out meetings can be difficult. I manage some of this complexity with tools like Plaxo and MobileMe, which allow you to keep calendars in synch across a variety of calendar systems, including Google, Yahoo and even the local calendar application.

This doesn't solve the problem of how to check on availability however. What I've always found most effective inside the corporate firewall is to make my calendar public, and to ask my team members to share their calendars as well. This allows me not only to quickly schedule meetings, but gives me insight into what sorts of meetings my team is scheduling, and how they are managing their time.

Reassociating Word files with Open Office on the Mac

One more thing I ran into after posting the blog on my Microsoft Office update problem originally. Turns out that the update reassociated all of the "Office" files with the Microsoft programs (even though they don't exist on my machine), so double-clicking a document for instance tries to open it with Microsoft Word (which of course fails).

Keeping Entourage 2008 up to date without Office 2008

I recently was seeing a few weird problems with Entourage and synching, so I decided to check and see if it was up to date.

I have a copy of Entourage 2008 that I got from an Exchange hosting service that I use for email with one of my partner companies.

Looking at the Entourage/About Entourage, I saw that I was running version 12.1.3,which was a couple of revs back from the current version (12.1.5). So I picked Update from the Help menu in Entourage:

Google Translate me please …

I use Google Reader to follow industry blogs about things like PHP and Java. One of the nice things that Google Reader does, is to automagically translate the page into English when the post is in a different language.

This is very helpful especially with blogs in subjects like these, especially since the international community is very active. Reader will give you a brief translated version of the feed, and when you click the link to go to the page, it typically forwards you through http://translate.google.com so you can read the page. For the most part, this yields a very understandable page that represents the subject the author was trying to convey very well.

Another great reason to use a GPS when cycling

Back in the summer of 2007, I was riding my bike every day from John Muir Health to my home in Livermore. I am a fairly cautious rider, so I would take the the Iron Horse Trail to keep my interaction with automobiles limited to cross walks as much as possible.

One day (June 18th, 2007), I was riding home, and I got hit in a crosswalk crossing with the green light.
