Shortcode to make archives on 1 page with Wordpress

Another days ago, I find this news when see wordpress support page. I think this is a new news for us, especially who use wordpress.com services only. Why for wordpress.com user only? Read this article first to know what are the different between wordpress.com vs wordpress.org. This shortcode only work with wordpress that hosted on wordpress.com.
How to do that? I have some blog that hosted on wordpress.com. OK, this is the way, just make a new post, or a new page, or use a text widget, then write this code [archives] and publish it. In default, this action will generate all your post, from the latest to newest, and give a link to it.
There is muce option that you perhap to give a try.

Option	Description	Choices	Default Setting
type	The type of archives list to display	yearly, monthly, weekly, daily, postbypost	postbypost
format	How to display the archives list	option (drop-down menu), html (unordered list), custom (for use with the “before” and “after” parameters)	html
limit	The number of archive entries to display	Any valid number	No limit
showcount	Display post count of each archive entry	true, false	false
before	Text to go before each archive entry	Any string of text or HTML tag from here	none
after	Text to go after each archive entry	Any string of text or HTML tag from here	none

For example in using that option, you can see below

This code will generate a link to all your post within 12 months from the date now on
[archives type=monthly limit=12]
Same as above, but we show out post count in every months
[archives type=monthly limit=12 showcount=true]
Show your 18 days activities.
[archives type=daily limit=18]
This code will generate a link to your 32 posts from the newest.
[archives limit=32]

Maybe for your needs, you can combine the option to fulfill it. OK, that's all guys, have a nice blogging. Rahim Rasyid

Update your Facebook with Twitter and vice versa

We already know about twitter and facebook. Facebook is most famous social networking web around the world. I, myself known facebook when friendster goes down for a week. And now, I am prefer to use facebook to friendster. Twitter, some of us call this with mini blogging. Why? It because we just say a few word, but it can give a powerfull meaning for our activity. Some big website make it promo in this mini blog to get a traffic.
OK, I hope we already have an account in both of that sites. We want to link it to update our status. The main key is we want to make an update in one of them, e.g in facebook, but when we update it, in our twitter do the same action, and vice versa. It cut our time to update it one by one.
This is the way how to do it :

1. Facebook to Twitter
   First, find your status RSS feed on Facebook.We can find it if we visit our profile and on our mini-feed select "See All". On the right side, we will see a list of items, select “status stories” and finally below this a feed link can be found. Next step is to add your newly found status RSS feed to the TwitterFeed. In this step, we can set our update frequentcy, prefixed it with "From Facebook..." and we publishing just the title.
2. Twitter to Facebook
   The official Twitter Facebook app (found here: http://apps.facebook.com/twitter/) has an option after you install it to update your Facebook status with your latest tweet. We need to understand that there is a delay if you use twitter frequently.Overall it's really powerfull to make an update for both with one update in a side.

Maybe that's all I wanna say now, I hope I will have a new article to write. Rahim Rasyid

First step using VMWare

VMware is a software to make a virtual machine in your PC to work like a dedicated PC. This software help use to try before use an operating system. In this post, we'll talk about how to make a virtual machine. VMware is a licensed software, so you have to buy it. Don't to be affraid, the publisher give a trial software to use. If you want a freeware software are like VMware, you can choose virtualbox.
Like before, we'll do this in step-by-step to make you understand how to do it. OK, we start now :

1. Absolutely, we have to run our VMware program first.
2. Now we click file -- new -- virtual machine. Like in this image below
   
   
   
3. After that, you will see a window pop up to start the wizard. We already now what to do right? Just click next button to next window.
   
4. When next button clicked, we will see a window is like image below
   
   
   
   There are two radio button to decide our choice. In this window we'll choose our virtual machine type. There are two type you can choose, first one is typical type and second one is custom type.
   
   
   • Typical : it's a default computer option. Like a complete computer in real world.
   • Custom : we can choose the hardware we want to use or not. This is for advance user and know what he need.
     
5. We choose our guest OS in this window. There are a group of OS in this world. Choose what you want to try. There are five main groups of OS.
   
   
   
6. The OS that you choose have to have a name and a directory to place all file.
   
   
   
7. Next step we choose our network type. There are four types of network, use bridged networking, use NAT, use host-only networking, and the last don't use a network connection.
   
   
   
8. After choosing your OS, we continue to set your virtual harddisk drive. And this is our final task
   
   
   
9. Just click finish, and you are ready to run your virtual machine. Don't forget to load your OS CD installation first to your CD-ROM.

Thats all to make a virtual machine with VMware. Maybe it'll a little different with virtualbox, but allover same. Rahim Rasyid

WordPress.com vs. WordPress.org

Many poeple confuse between this two phrase, WordPress.com and WordPress.org include me. But now I've seen the answer. 
WordPress.com Benefits

• It’s free and much easier to setup
• Everything is taken care of: setup, upgrades, backups, security, etc
• Your blog is on hundreds of servers, so it’s highly unlikely it will go down due to traffic
• Your posts are backed up automatically
• You get extra traffic from blogs of the day and tags
• You can find like-minded bloggers using tag and friend surfer
• Your login is secure (SSL) so no one can get into your account if you use wifi

WordPress.com Cons

• We provide 70+ themes (and adding more every day) which you can modify and edit the CSS, but you cannot run a custom theme*
• You can’t hack the PHP code behind your blog*
• You can’t upload plugins

* The VIP program on WordPress.com for high-traffic and high-profile sites, allows you to run custom themes, custom PHP code, ad code, and WordPress plugins.
WordPress.org Benefits

• Ability to upload themes
• Ability to upload plugins
• Great community
• Complete control to change code if you’re technically minded

WordPress.org Cons

• You need a good web host, which generally costs $7-12 a month, or thousands of dollars per month for a high traffic site
• Requires more technical knowledge to set up and run
• You’re responsible for stopping spam
• You have to handle backups
• You must upgrade the software manually when a new version comes out ( with WordPress 2.7+ there is now an auto-updating mechansim )
• If you get a huge spike in traffic (like Digg or Slashdot) you site will probably go down unless you have a robust hosting setup

The main different is about what they are.

WordPress.org is free blogging software, you can install themes and plugins, run advertisements, edit the database and even modify the PHP source code. WordPress.org is the home of this software. Anyone can download the software for free but it must be installed on a web server before it will work.
WordPress.com is different. You do not have to download software, pay for hosting or manage a web server. When you sign up for a WordPress.com blog, you will get a URL like “andy.wordpress.com” or you can map a domain so your blog is available at “example.com” without the “.wordpress.com” portion.  What you can do on WordPress.com is blog for free.
