Building services like FriendFeed using PHP - Part 1
Jun 02, 2008 @ 13:47:32

Hasin Hayder has posted part one of a series he's doing on making an application similar to the popular FriendFeed site in PHP.

Friendfeed is an excellent life streaming service aggregating all your feeds from different service providers, compile them together, build a social network among your known people and finally deliver all these feeds as a mashup. [...] In this blog post I will try to focus on how to develop such a service like Friendfeed using PHP and JS and how to scale such a huge load successfully.

This first part looks at the photo sharing handling of the application, including links to libraries already written in PHP to connect to them (like Flickr and Smugmug).

Apr 14, 2008 @ 14:34:09

For all of you putting off making the upgrade to WordPress 5, Cal Evans' story might be just that last push you need to take the plunge.

I now run WordPress on 4 of my web properties. So let me first say a big thank you to the entire WordPress development community for all their work. [...] In the process of installing and managing these properties, I've learned just a little bit about WordPress and decided that I had better document some of it before it falls out the back of my head.

He steps through the details his install including his pre-install steps, the installation and configuration of the software (including Akismet, SimepleTags, the All in One SEO plugin and interfaces with FeedBurner and a Friend Feed).
