I just developed a FriendFeed IE8 Accelerator. It is currently under review but you can install it on your IE8 now over here

Hope it’s useful to IE8 users.

I’ve promised my family and friends that I would create a Blogger counterpart of the plugin I did last night for WordPress, the Facebook “Like” Button Widget Plugin.

Well, I don’t want to keep you from waiting. Here’s how you do it:

1) Login to Blogger (I preferred Blogger Draft in this example)

2) Click “Layout” on the blog you want to add the Widget

3) Click “Edit HTML”

4) Tick the “Expand Widget Templates” checkbox.

5) Search for the following code (you can use CTRL+F on your browser)
<div class=’post-outer’>

Once you found it, on the next line you should find this code <b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/>. If you found that, it means you are on the right spot.

Copy the code below and paste it right after that <b:include data=’post’ name=’post’/> code (highlighted yellow above).

<script>
fb_like = &quot;http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<b:if cond=’data:blog.url’><data:post.url/></b:if>&quot;;
document.write(&quot;<iframe scrolling=’no’ frameborder=’0′ allowTransparency=’true’ style=’border:none; margin:10px 0 0 0; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:auto;’ allowtransparency=’true’ src=’&quot;+ fb_like +&quot;’/>&quot;);
</script>

UPDATE: The above code doesn’t seem to work because copying it from here adds some funky characters in the markup. Grab it here instead:

Like the highlighted code in the screenshot.

6) Click “Save Template”

7) You’re done! Refresh your main blogger blog now and you should be able to see your new Facebook “Like” Button Widget

Got it working? Post your URL in the comments below. Cool huh?

Add the new Facebook “Like” Button Widget Plugin on your WordPress Blog. Download it here.

Instructions:

1) Download the “Facebook-Like-Button-Widget.zip” file
2) Extract and upload `facebook-like-widget.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
3) Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
4) That’s it!

It should look like this

I’ve given the widget a style ID so you can target it in CSS. The id is “facebook_like”.

If you’ve installed it on your blog, please post your URL in the comments below. Thanks.

I love the look of the new Gmail buttons.

I still however dislike the fact that the “Archive” button is still beside “Report spam”.

I am also fully aware that Gmail offers an “Undo” link if you make a mistake. But sometimes, it may still be overlooked.

 
Look at the above screenshot and tell me what you think?

PHP User Group Philippines (PHPUGPH) together with Microsoft Philippines supporting Filipinos be competitive in the global IT industry landscape.

“Filipino developers don’t have much resources, funds and support to do research and unfortunately, they also don’t have enough training for them to excel even though Filipino developers are one of the most skilled in the global IT industry. The purpose of the summit is not only to share knowledge about PHP alone but also to inform developers of the good programming practices and other tools that would aid them in their work,” said Cherrie Ann Domingo, president of PHP User Group Philippines.

“We’re confident that Filipino developers will thrive in a competitive atmosphere because this is where their creativity and ingenuity will set them apart. By ensuring a robust software economy, we’re also able to support the development of our national economy,” said Microsoft Philippines platform strategy manager Arnie Locsin
