I decided to install and play with Buddypress this weekend. The first thing I wanted to do was move the admin-bar to the bottom of the page. Buddypress is still very young and I expect this to be a feature you can add with a simple click.
To make things easy you might want a code editing program. This will add numbers for each line. It will make it super easy to find the right code to change. I recommend Notepad++ on the PC and Espresso on the Mac
First things first. If you havent already renamed your custom.css and site-wide.css file, we need to do that first.
You can find the files in Themes > bphome > CSS
Rename custom-sample.css to custom.css and site-wide-sample.css to site-wide.css
This will activate a custom css for us to use without modding core files.
Using a code editing program (listed above) add this code to site-wide.css:
/* Relocate Admin-Bar */
body { padding-top: 0px !important; }
#wp-admin-bar {
bottom: 0 !important;
position: fixed !important;
top: auto !important;
}
#wp-admin-bar ul {
bottom: 27px;
}
#wp-admin-bar ul li:hover ul ul, #wp-admin-bar li.sfhover ul li ul{
bottom: auto;
position: relative;
}
/* END Relocate Admin-bar */
You should have a fully functioning admin-bar at the bottom of the page.
This will not break when you update!

Like most people with a first generation Ipod touch, I was feeling a little left out with the cool features in Version 3.0. Not to mention it costs us a cool $10 but its free for everyone else. Heres a simple way to upgrade your Ipod touch without paying Apple a cent.
How to Upgrade or Update iPod Touch to OS 3.0 Firmware For Free
1. Download and install iTunes 8.2 or higher version.
2. Download iPod Touch 2G OS firmware 3.0 Apple Device Software Update IPSW file, First gen Ipods HERE and Second gen HERE
3. Plug in and connect the iPod Touch to computer.
4. Run iTunes 8.2 or higher.
5. Select the iPod Touch from Devices list.
6. Optional but recommended, take a backup of the iPod in case of accidental file lost.
7. Now there are two ways to update iPod Touch. For user who want to clean and fresh upgrade the iPod Touch, without retaining any existing songs, musics, videos, movies, apps and other media or data files on iPod Touch (mean you will be losing all files stored on iPod Touch), follows these steps:
1. In Windows environment, press and hold Shift key and left click Restore.
In Mac OS X system, press and hold Option key and left click Restore.
For user who want to retain and save everything that has been uploaded and stored on iPod Touch or ensure that the media is untouched (not losing any files), follow these steps instead:
1. On the iTunes main screen, there should be 2 options: “Check for update” and “Restore”. Click on Check for update.
2. A web page showing the iPod Touch OS firmware 3.0 features and offering option to buy for $9.99 will be loaded and shown. Click on Cancel.
3. iTunes will return to the previous iPod Touch main page. However, the “Check for update” option has now been change to “Update.
4. In Windows environment, press and hold Shift key and left click Update.
In Mac OS X system, press and hold Option key and left click Update.
8. Locate and select iPod Touch OS 3.0 Apple Device Software Update IPSW file downloaded in step above.
9. The update process will start. iPod may reboot a few times. Do not disconnect iPod Touch until iTunes has completed updating iPod Touch.
10. Once upgrading is done, the iPod Touch will be on OS firmware 3.0, for free without any cent been paid.
11. Optionally, if you have choose to restore iPod Tunes to firmware OS software 3.0 at factory default, iTunes will offer option to either create a new iPod or restore it from backup. For user already created a backup of iPod, just restore the date files to upgraded iPod Touch.
Note: If there is an error when iTunes attempts to recognize iPod Touch, just unplug and plug the iPod back in again.

Panorama-mania
Jun

If your photography needs a little pick-me-up, consider panoramic.
Panoramic views are eye-catching and breathtaking, but they aren’t for every
situation. However, there are many situations that cry out for a panoramic view.
Stadiums, skylines, stages, group portraits, architecture, and nature scenes tend
to be the most popular subjects.
You don’t have to run out and buy more equipment. The camera you have will
work just fine. Instead you can use photo stitching in Photoshop CS3. Its
surprisingly simple and extremely powerful.
Step 1: Taking the pictures
Configure your camera to capture all photos identically, and take the photos in a
sequence. You want to take the photos scanning from side to side staying with
the horizon. Be sure to over lap your images by at least 20 percent. Avoid
scenes with moving objects.
Step 2: Import
Open Photoshop, click file > Automate > Photomerge. On the left change your
layout to Cylindrical. On the right chose Browse and navigate to your images.
Once you have your images selected click OK and go grab a coffee, order pizza
or whatever you want while you let your computer do all the hard work.
Step 3: Edit
All the hard work is done! You should be looking at a rough panoramic. Most, if
not all of the time you are going to have to crop your image. All that is left to do is
edit.
Now that you have seen how easy it is to create a panoramic I hope you go out
and play with panoramic yourself!
*This was done in Photoshop CS3, it might be different in any other version or
software.
Please post any questions in the comments section and ill do my best to answer them.
