This is a wordpress hack which will allow your users to add images and videos in comments.


Wordpress strips out most HTML tags for non-admin users. This leaves comments with text-only.But what if you want to run a contest for the funniest image/video etc….. something where you want users to be able to embed rich media in the comments instead of a text link

Step One - Locate your kses.php file


This can be found under /wp-includes/kses.php
Make a backup of this file - incase you need to revert to original


open the file in a text editor, Notepad or TextEdit(Mac) will do just fine


Around line 25 you will see html tags commented out using the // system


'strike' => array (), 'strong' => array (),
// 'sub' => array(),
// 'sup' => array(),



tags not commented are allowed, commented tags are NOT


we can add tags to this list to allow rich media but we also have to allow the attributes


To allow images add these lines after // 'ul' => array(), but before );

‘img’ => array (’alt’ => array (), ‘align’ => array (), ‘border’ => array (), ‘height’ => array (), ‘hspace’ => array (), ‘longdesc’ => array (), ‘vspace’ => array (), ’src’ => array ()),

This will allow image tags to be embedded in comments
To allow Youtube Videos add these lines

‘embed’ => array (’src’ => array (), ‘type’ => array (), ‘wmode’ => array (), ‘height’ => array (), ‘width’ => array ()),
‘object’ => array (’src’ => array (), ‘type’ => array (), ‘wmode’ => array (), ‘height’ => array (), ‘width’ => array ()),
‘param’ => array (’name’ => array (), ‘value’ => array (), ‘wmode’ => array (), ‘height’ => array (), ‘width’ => array ()),

This approach can be modified to allow videos from any site as long as you add the right Tags and Attributes

I just finished work on my first Dashboard Widget for OSX.

Its still only a week into development and not fully functional yet but here is my latest project.
 



 
Its a website where students can find deals on tech related products.
Occasionaly they will feature lifestyle and office products also.
 
Why should students shop there ?
It saves them the time looking for these deals themselves. We Search You Save.
PlattDeals being an associate gets additional promotions and discounts that students wont have access to otherwise and are not advertised on the merchant sites such as unadvertised specials, affiliate-only coupons etc.
 
The Revenue Model
Commisions on products sold. Depending on merchant these range from 1% - 5%
Contextual ads placed on the sides from Google AdSense and Text Link Ads.
 

having some time to myself i tried to finish one of my old stencils. this is a piece that i started before i left for break to india. Taking a break in between a stencil really makes it hard to get back to work. So its been sitting in my closet for months, i finally got around to finishing it.
 
It took me over 3 hrs just to find the PSD file. This really stresses that i need to stop using generic labels and start organizing my pc.
 
so here it is 3/4 done. Its a gas mask spread over 4 16×20″ canvases.
