Ningall you need is a good idea to run your own social application. Social apps let you match, transact, and communicate with other people. A few clicks, no coding (unless you want to), and you can be up and running with your own social app in minutes. Interesting. Thanks Pedro Vera

RSS Reader: Just click the link, personal news delivery at its finest!! Thanks Threadwatch.

Variables in your CSS via PHP: Good writeup/tutorial on using PHP to control the way your page looks. I love the way Chris writes, but this article is even more poignant as it also talks very candidly about OOP in php (which is sorely lacking in larger percentage of all PHP code)

StructuredBlogging.org is officially launched …announce the launch of StructuredBlogging.org, a non-profit initiative supporting the development and deployment of micro-formats in blog posts. WordPress plugin available. StructuredBlogging.org

FeedBurner introduces interactive RSS with a good writeup (and via) here. I cannot help but stop and think how this will jive with the fact that feeds will have to change along with presently published content, thus forcing readers to view old content (with slightly modified matter) as new content. For example, if the number of comments on a post change, that might not be enough for many people to have to download that content again. If that is not the case, then is the content truly dynamic/interactive beside being simple links?

Closed, Open Source Share Compatibility Problems: Interesting take on the compatibility problems brought onto WordPress by the latest versions of Mysql running in “strict” mode as default. Especially poignant here because I see well greased programmers moving to the postgresql model because of a shift of ideologies of the mysql group. I should look into the added benefits that the strict model provides to the system.
