Add digg and reddit to wordpress

Find: “<div class=”post-content”>” in index.php

Add the following:

<div class=”diggit”><script type=”text/javascript”>
digg_url = ‘<?php the_permalink() ?>’;
digg_title = ‘<?php the_title(); ?>’;
</script>
<script src=”http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js” type=”text/javascript”></script>
<iframe src=”http://reddit.com/button?t=3&url=<?php the_permalink() ?>” frameborder=”0″ height=”75″ scrolling=”no” width=”75″></iframe>
</div>

In the style.css document add:

.diggit {
float:right;
margin-top:10px;
margin-left:15px;
}

Should work for most skins

MoneyDashboard Feedback

Below some feedback I recently sent to moneydashboard.com,  a mint.com alternative for the UK.

It would be good if:

1. You could filter by custom date range for the tracking tab rather than just the pre-set months (also why call it tracking, doesn’t report make more sense?).

2. You were able to filter by transaction type under transaction (rather than just sort).

3. If the system remember the transaction type so that in future I dont have to re-set it.

4. If you have full control over the tags (i.e. Income…)

5. I am not sure I agree with the way the tracking (report) page or dashboard page works and the information it display. Maybe have a look at what info mint and/or lovemoney display and how it is displayed.

Finally, I am still not sure why you chose to build the app in silverlight; I have read the article “Why Silverlight” and although I understand and accept some of the points I still think it puts the app at a huge disadvantage to html. At least fix the following silverlight issues: I can’t scroll using my mouse, crt+a highlights everything, tab doesn’t highlight the new section, you can’t press back or refresh the browser page, can’t copy and paste, textbox doesn’t have scroll bar.. etc

Anyway good first attempt, I hope you choose to iterate quickly, try not to copy the way Microsoft desktop applications look, keep it fast, carefully think about UI and listen to feedback. Cheers, Leonard PS. you really need mouse scroll and copy and paste.

How to Install InstantSSL on Plesk

To install an Comodo InstantSSL on plesk you need to do two steps, 1. create a csr then upload it, 2. install the certificate comodo send to you (this is the bit that Comodo’s documentation is crap).

Create a CSR

1. In Plesk go to the domain you want a SSL for
2. ClickSSL certificates
3. Click ‘Add SSL Certificate’
4. The name can be anything but make sure the rest of the fields are filled in correctly. Make sure you select 2048 bits
5. Click Request (you will be redirected back to the certificate index page)
6. Select the certificate you just requested, scroll down and the csr should be shown
7. Go to comodo and upload the csr when they ask for it.

Istall InstantSSL on Plesk

This is the bit that is confusing as the Comodo documentation doesn’t match the files they send you. You should recieve three files:

1. www_domain_com.crt
2. AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
3. UTNAddTrustServerCA.crt

If you have move files read the following but then look at the troubleshooting section as well.

Go back to Plesk and the certificate section.

1. Paste www_domain_com.crt into the certificate textarea
2. Paste AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt into the CA Certificate textarea
3. Paste UTNAddTrustServerCA.crt into the CA certificate textarea directly below the AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt
4. Click send text

In plesk go back to the domain overpage, click ‘web hosting settings’ and you should see the certificate you just created.

Troubleshooting

1. If comodo sent through more than the files listed above paste them into the CA certificate in this order (EssentialSSLCA.crt ComodoUTNServerCA.crt UTNAddTrustServerCA.crt AddTrustExternalCARoot.crt)
2. Check the domain has a exclusive IP address
3. Check the certificate pasted into the textarea are in the correct order
4. Check the comodo support site (even though it is rubbish).

Hopefully this has helped a few people as every time I have to install a instantSSL I alsways forget which order to do what.
