Many psychiatrists believe that the first step in happiness is to be friends with yourself. In my journey for self-discovery I tried to add myself as my friend on Facebook and this is what I got for my efforts:
I’m DEVASTATED! WHY NOT?!… Ugh… Well I’ve started a petition. Feel free to join: Facebook Petition: Let Me Be Friends With Myself
WYSIWYG stands for What You See Is What You Get. Basically it’s more then just a text box. It allows for things like font stylizing, image inserting, etc. If you’ve ever done any blogging online them you most likely used one for making your blog posts.

Since PHP5 was released, PHP programmers have been blessed with a decent support of object-oriented programming. With this ability many programmers have used classes in many if not all of their projects. A very common practice for OO programmers is to place each class in an includes folder. There have been many times when I have seen a config file full of includes and/or requires. They will include every class in their includes folder whether or not they use it in a particular script.

This will show you how to include the Kwista Hint script which will allow you to generate automatic hints in your form’s input fields. Automatic hints, by our definition, are input fields that contain predefined text in the field that provide the user with a hint as to what should be typed in the field. These hints are usually gray, though the colors and font styles can be changed through CSS. When the user focuses on the field (e.g., they click on it) the hint text is removed and the style of the text goes back to normal. If the user doesn’t type anything in the field, or they erase what they type, and they click away from the field then the hint text is returned to the field.

Thirsty Sites was launched this weekend and we’ve already had huge success. There have already been hundreds of links submitted and approved.
With the huge success of the link submissions we have custom programmed the list directory to allow for bulk link approvals. We have placed the code for this customization on our site http://www.thirstysites.com/bulk-approve.html. Feel free to use it on any of your sites.
Website Monitoring Hub We are still in the beta phase of the site but we are making huge progress. We hope to get the site in a completely workable state. No date has been set yet but we are hopeful for a speedy launch.
