So I found some “hidden gems” in the codex…well sort of. They’re not really hidden or gems, but none-the-less they are pretty cool. I was on the hunt to display the “last updated time” for the current networked blog the user is viewing. A quick glimpse into PMA (PHP MyAdmin) shows the following: So what [...]
I was in the process of submitting my tutorial on “Installing MongoDB on Cento OS” to the MediaTemple wiki, when I started to get frustrated, with my MASSIVE HTTPD (apache) memory usage! So I did some research, between the (mt) kb (knowledge base), Apache manual (Timeout, MaxClients) and some self knowledge I was able to [...]
Ok, so this was a little harder than what I thought…ok ok alot, it was one of those things that had me a walk away for a few hours only to come back and solve it in about 30minutes. I’d have to rate setting up WordPress networking on Mac OSX Leopard as hard to advanced. [...]

While html validating my project site, I noticed that the function I’m using to build the navigation of my networked sites had an html error in it. This was due to the function I had been using which I found over at, social ink. In short it’s a great function (for the few of us [...]
Introdction Came across an issue where WordPress saves “%YOUR_CUSTOM_PERMALINK_STRUCTURE%” in the link tag under the rel attribute. This for me appears to be an issue because I’ve changed my custom permalinks one to many times (in my production environment). This is only an issue with using wp_head() as wp_head() puts the start, previous and next [...]
So over the weekend I decided to update our functions.php file for the zmcollection.com theme, adding Wordplay’ wp enqueue style into my perfectly working theme*. I added the code below: wp_enqueue_style(‘collection-base’, get_bloginfo(stylesheet_url), ”, ’0.0.1′,’screen’); Of course at first glance everything seemed fine, the style sheet loaded with the correct version, I was under the impression [...]
