Plugin for Wordpress : Auto Social Poster

The main idea of this plugin is to make our jobs done with one job. What do you mean? Let we talk about it slow but sure. When we make a new post on our wordpress blog, we want it to be bookmarked to all bookmark web on internet. So, when our new post published, we do our next job, bookmark it to bookmark web. We have to open bookmark web one by one, for limited bandwidth especially. But if you have a good or an awesome bandwidth, you can open it simultaneously, and this is not a good thing to do. So with this plugin, our job to bookmark our new post will be done when we publish it. That's the main idea for details.
Now, this plugin has a compatible for wordpress v.2.1 to v.2.7. We will have a trouble if we install auto social poster on wordpress version below v.2.1 or above v.2.7. As we now know, wordpress has released wordpress v.2.8.x and soon will launch v.2.9.x. That for, we will talk about tips and tricks to make auto social poster to work well on your wordpress v.2.8.x, because now a day there are no blog using wordpress v.2.1.x.
Now we will see how to install this plugin, step by step like usually.

• Unzip the download file. It contains one folder called social-poster.
• Upload the entire social-poster folder to your /wp-content/plugins/ folder. Do not change the folder name. The plugin files must be located in a folder named /social-poster/
• CHMOD the /tmp/ folder to 777
• CHMOD file mm_conf.php to 666 or 777. File is located in /wp-content/plugins/social-poster/

We already done for installation by following steps above. Just activate the plugin and setting it. It's really simple to activate auto social poster, visit your plugin tab on your wordpress dashboard and click activate. To edit the setting, open your setting tab and choose social poster link there. What will you see?? I know what you see for the first time you click that link, because I feel it too. It say we have no right to access that page. This is the problem using auto social poster with wordpress v.2.8.x.
How to solve it and make auto social poster run? Just in case, it's a quite simple things we must do. Find mm_post.php on social poster folder in your plugin directory. Open and edit that file. Which one I must edit? Find this line dude

add_action ('admin_head', 'mm_add_menu');

Make a change on that line to be like this one

DjVu Reader

I found something unfamiliar file type called djvu yesterday when looking for an e-book. What is this? I don't what's that, but google know that. DjVu.org said "DjVu (pronounced 'déjà vu') is a digital document format with advanced compression technology and high performance value". So this are one of document type that used on internet. It gives me a surprise, because I only know pdf and chm format for e-book, hehehe. Ok, that's not matter. And the real problem, how to open and read it??
There are so many way to do that, using paid program, free program, and use plugin on our browser. Buy a software to do that? I don't think so, because I don't have enough money for that. So my choice is using free program. Why I buy an expensive program while free program can do it for me, right.
Now we'll talk about this free program, called IrfanView. IrfanView is a very fast, small, compact and innovative FREEWARE (for non-commercial use) graphic viewer for Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, XP, 2003 , 2008, Vista, Windows 7.See underlining phrase? We use this program just for home purpose only, not for business. We need to download installer and plugin for this porgram. You can find it at IrfanView website. After download it, first install the installer then plugin second. OK, that's all for this posting. 
How about using plugin in browser? I've forgotten what it's name, but in fact you just need install that plugin. Browser that plugin support is Internet Explorer. After installation, you can open djvu file with IE. How to save it as pdf? You just need to print it, choose print as pdf.

I think this is rarely happen to blogger, because if we use one of that engine, we'll loyal to use it. Never want to change it from wordpress to blogspot or vice versa. But it still worth to learn how to do that.

Now we login to our blogspot and choose settings tab. You will see blog tools there, give you 3 option, import, export, and delete blog. You know what to do here, click import blog and you will see this

Now you know where to put .xml file that you've download from wordpress blog. Shall we put it now? Maybe you want to try it first before I answer that question. My answer we can't do that now. It's because xml format from wordpress is different with xml format for blogger. So what we do next? Convert it. Do it myself? Hahaha, we use service from other website. Please visit this blog
