as some of you may know I introduced a blog that I run for my friend from Munich. It is based on Wordpress with a few plugins, so I came to this question.

I have several plugins installed within the blog:

1. WPTouch (Mobile Theme)
2. Akisment (Well known anti spam software)
3. WPTables Reloaded (Pretty cool table plugin)
4. Download Counter (Well, it is deactived, waiting for update)

How about you? Do you run a WP blog with plugins?

Its website provides hosting services, similar to WordPress blog hosting services, or you can choose join to servers using this software.

However the best part of it, is that you can install it onto your own server or hosting account. In fact, it comes as a one-click install for those hosting providers offering Softaculous to their costumers.

There are many social networking software applications, but I believe StatusNet is the closest approach to Twitter that one can find on the net, check it out, http://sandbox.appslots.com/statusnet/demo

And this is the download link for those who want to try it and has not access to Softaculous, http://status.net/download]]>

Personally I don't care how accurate is an external service but to control on my own each and every aspect of my website so, anyone knows what is the best software to track several domains from a single location?

Many years back I tried BB clone, the so called PHP Web counter on steroids, but I never found those steroids and being this a flat-file database script is rather hard to setup.

Any suggestion I can look at to run my own stats?]]>

I prefer using MyBB, because it looks more professional than the other free forum softwares. I only will ever purchase a license to a paid software if the community gets big enough and I think I need it. Besides the point, MyBB has a great and easy interface, for not only users, but the moderators and administrators too. It has plenty of modifications to choose from, a great wiki, plenty of settings, and it always has amazing themes, which are quite easy to code yourself.]]>

Some other people may prefer a flat database because is easier to connect and maintain, but whatever is the reason someone is using this type of text databases, it would be interesting to hear some opinions, not about how fast or convenient is MySQL in comparison, but what kind of flat database is better and more efficient.

Flat text writes on text files, as easy as that.
XML database does the same but over an XML-formatted DB
SQlite is a flat database engine that offers better security and performance

I think I'm missing some other options so I would really like to hear your input about these or any other non-MySQL databases that can be used as an alternative.]]>

Some of you probably already know it, but I haven't seen it proclaimed in here, and I can really recommend it if you are the type who sits all night and designs and code your own templates.

Anyway, the 960 Grid System is a set of templates that makes it easier to both design and code your layout into CSS. It's centered around a max width of 960, because it's easily dividable into 12, 16 or 24 columns and thus you don't have to calculate all kinds of fuzzy widths when you code your CSS.

The templates are available for industry standard apps, such as Photoshop, GIMP, Flash, Ink scape, Illustrator and even PDF sheets.
