This tutorial takes you through the steps of setting up your own server using the default server software that Mojang distributes free of charge. The software may be installed on most operating systems, including Windows, Mac and Linux.

Regardless of your operating system, you must begin by downloading the server software from the minecraft download page. The server is available as either a Java .jar file or a Windows .exe file. The .exe version may seem easier to use, but in case of problems the .jar version gives better error messages and it is more configurable.

For instance, in most tasks related to pure text presentation Flash is neither necessary nor user-friendly, and it also has some serious accessibility problems: in fact, “pure” text is easier to maintain and easier to copy and paste.

Used moderately, Flash-based galleries can give the presentation a fresh spark and create a rich visual experience you might want to offer your visitors.

In this post we present some of the free, attractive and flexible Flash-based galleries you can use to present your images more effectively.

Converting links from MT to WordPress. I had over 1,000 posts in Movable Type that were archived individually, by month and by category. When I switched to WordPress I changed the format of the permanent links to include the date and title instead of the non-portable post ID (which, by the way, MT does not include when you export your blog so your permanent links won’t work if you export and import your blog through MT either).

I was concerned that I wouldn’t be able to get those old URLs to forward to WordPress but in the end it wasn’t all that difficult. The easiest was the monthly archive. It used to be “/archive/year_month.html” so I just added a line in the .htaccess to change it to “/archives/year/month” and I was done. RewriteRule ^archive/([0-9]{4})_([0-9]{2}).html$ /index.php? The category names would have been easy except that Movable Type uses underscores and WordPress uses hyphens. $title = strtolower( "<$MTArchiveTitle$>" ); $title = preg_replace('/&.+?

Fix the RSS update time on the WordPress RSS widget. One of the most common complaints on the WordPress support forum is that the content of the RSS widget doesn't update, or doesn't update frequently enough.

Here's the scoop, each widget instance checks the feed once every 12 hours. Twice a day — that's it. And that aint much. If you are using WordPress 2.8.3, the most current version as of this writing (and you should be), you can change this setting by adding the following to your current theme's function.php: add_filter( 'wp_feed_cache_transient_lifetime', create_function('$a', 'return 1800;') ); The above code will cause the feeds to be checked every 30 minutes. 1800 = 1800 seconds == 30 minutes.
