Turn your phpBB Forum into a Blog

by

phpBB Blog 2.3 is a software add-on for phpBB which turns your forum into a blogging system. The latest version has been running stable now for over a year so it may be an interesting option to explore if you are interested in setting up a blog.

I’ve personally never tested this system so would be interested in getting reader feedback from anybody who has. I’ve personally always assumed it would not be as fully featured as other systems such as Wordpress which are also available for free and have thus avoided it. However, despite this I have recently heard a great deal of positive information about phpBB Blog so those hardcore phpBB fans out there may really be interested in trying out this sytem first.

The system works with phpBB 2. If anybody has tested with phpBB 3, please leave a comment to let us know if you encountered any problems.

Thanks!

    Hi everybody

    Just trapped on a little tool to slice website images.
    Quick in preparing ready html from simple single-image site design.
    Program is rather crappy and cheap (especially comparing to similar function in PhotoShop).
    But there is a trick! Just look what books come as a bonus:

    Search Engine Optimization: An Hour a Day
    Web Design in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition
    Webmaster in a Nutshell, 3rd Edition
    etc…

    I wonder how $270 priced books can be sold for just 20 dollars…
    Anyway here’s link: http://www.sliceimage.com/

    Hope these books will help you as well.

    Regards,
    Mark

    Tori Spelling is seen her hanging out with her husband Dean as they get a break from the babies to go to La Scala in Beverly Hills for lunch. Isn t that the sweetest? I guess given the ever-present Miu Miu dress Tori must be having some issues losing the baby weight, perhaps someone should tell her that a La Scala lunch isn t going to help her much there. At least she is keeping her blonde locks maintained in a way that is most practical for new baby mamas. Tori has this season s look down, with cropped locks that are easy to manage, and far away from little grabbing fingers. I think a more polished look would work with her here though, perhaps with some extra time with the flat iron and some glossing serum for some extra polish. I mean, if you don t get out much, and finally get some time for a nice lunch with your hubby, you really deserve to spend a little extra time looking all gussied up for him.

    My husband and I want to go on a awesome vacation soon. We were looking for advice. Anyone have any great spots? A means to save some cash would be nice as well. Vacationing is expensive these days.

  5. GregorySockssy Says:

    We traveled to Tahiti not too long ago. It was an unbelievable vacation. We stayed at this nice little Bungalow called the Beach Sands. But, if your looking to save money, it’s a very expensive plane ticket. Another option is Mazatlan, I have a amazing time everytime I go. As far as saving dough, I don;t know for sure, we always go with expeida or travelocity. My cousin tells me that he usually saves a lot of cash on his travels. I’ll ask him how he does it.

    Good Day

    Just wanted to share my new experience.

    If your Windows XP denies to start due to an error corresponding to lost HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can fix this by using the XP installation CD. Just boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then launch “attrib -H -R -S” on the C:\Boot.ini file and delete it. Run “Bootcfg /Rebuild” and then Fixboot

    Cheers,

    I’m hoping to buy a home someday instead of renting an apartment. In fact, my fiancee and I almost bought our first home during March of 2007. We were very excited at the time because it was going to be our first house and we even drove over to see other similar houses in the same neighborhood at 3:00am! However, we decided in the end to not put any offers in because we thought the housing downturn would get drastically worst.

    Fast forward 9 months, and we are experiencing one of the worst housing slump in US history. Being in California, our decision to hold off on buying a house saved us at least $50,000 and might turn into $100,000-$150,000 when it is all said and done. One side of me is relieved because of the fact that I didn’t buy the house yet, but another side of me really want to live in a nice house that I can call my own. Should I look at the house as an investment? Or should I forget about the ups and downs of my potential house price and be happy that I will leave in a nice home?

    Do you consider your primary home as an investment? Take the poll and let me know what I should do!

    My son knew he needed to stop smoking. He’d just seen his father die at 38 from lung cancer. That was the spark that made him realize that smoking could literally kill him. Unfortunately, every time he tried to stop, he would yield to temptation within a few days. I looked at using a nicotine patch and nicotine gum, but didn’t want him to use either. For me, it seemed silly to take the same substance that causes the addiction - nicotine.
    I searched for a natural and safe method to quit smoking: http://freshnewsday.com/stop-smoking.html

    I believe it is pretty sick. I am one of those people that are currently without health insurance. This is a direct result of the insurance that is offered to me by my employer. They currently offer Aetna, which for all intent and purposes it is a catastrophic policy. Doctor visits and medications are nearly covered, therefore I would rather save $100 per month instead of giving it to the slimey bastards at Aetna.
    I hope that more people will continue to speak up and hold these health insurance conglomerates accountable, or the health of the average American will continue to go down.

    A contestant, Sally, on ‘Who wants to be a Millionaire?’ had reached the final plateau. If she answered the next question correctly, she would win $1,000,000. If she answered incorrectly, she would pocket only the $25,000 milestone money. And as she suspected the Million Dollar Question was no pushover.

    It was, ‘Which of the following species of birds does not build its own nest but instead lays its eggs in the nests of other birds?

    Is it:
    A) The condor

    B) The buzzard

    C) The cuckoo

    D) The vulture

    The woman was on the spot. She did not know the answer. She had used up her 50/50 Lifeline and her Ask the Audience Lifeline.

    All that remained was her Phone-a-Friend Lifeline.

    She hoped she would not have to use it because….Well, her friend was, well, a blonde. But she had no alternative.

    She called her friend and gave her the question and the four choices. The blonde responded unhesitatingly: ‘That’s easy. The answer is C: the cuckoo.’

    The contestant had to make a decision and make it fast… She considered employing a reverse strategy and giving any answer except the one that
    her friend had given her. And considering her friend was a blonde that would seem to be the logical thing to do. But her friend had responded
    with such confidence, such certitude, that the contestant could not help but be convinced.

    Crossing her fingers, the contestant said, ‘C: The cuckoo.’

    ‘Is that your final answer?’

    ‘Yes, that is my final answer.’

    ‘That answer is absolutely correct! You are now a millionaire!’

    Three days later, the contestant hosted a party for her family and friends, including the blonde who had helped her win the million dollars.

    ‘Jeni, I just do not know how to thank you, ‘ said the contestant.

    ‘How did you happen to know the right answer?’

    ‘Oh, come on,’ said the blonde ‘Everybody knows that cuckoos don’t build nests. They live in clocks.’

    Sally fainted.
