After spending sometime on the database and Googling for help I came across this handy php file called emergency.php, It allows you to change your WordPress administrator password and it sends off an e-mail to the blog administrator telling him that the password has changed.

The file works on WordPress 2.0, 2.2.x and 2.3.x but I just did it in a 2.5 installation and worked like a charm.
You need to upload the emergency.php file to the root of your WordPress installation via ftp and then type your blog url followed by /emergency.php where you will see the following screen:

After reseting the password to what you want, you will receive an e-mail (if you are the administrator) with the new password, after checking that everything works DELETE the file from the server and save it for other emergency, this worked perfectly and saved me many hours of researching and hedeaches.

A webisode is effectively an internet short film or series that is broadcasted online as a web episode. They can be inclusive of many facets including, drama, non-fiction, reality TV, comedy, music and many other variations. While there is no industry standard on the length of such webisodes, they tend to range from 1-15 minutes.
Many are productions by major companies who are trying to garner a large internet viewer-ship to catapult their show to network television. Webisodes are very rapidly gaining in popularity, some of them garnering millions of views per month, not to mention loyal users who log on everyday to see when the next internet episode will air.
Due to that fact they are free to watch and that they do not have commercials in them, webisodes are quickly becoming a popular new form of online TV.

It has all the features of the official Google Web Application and you can switch easily between accounts and different reports with elegant transitions, I’ve been using this little app a lot lately and I’m pleased to see more and more AIR applications appearing all over the internet.

Here is a screenshot of what it looks like when you select a report:

If you want to try this application keep reading and grab it from the WordPress AIR Badge plugin below.

Blogger was easy enough to setup and had the basic features that anybody (at that time) needed to create a Daily Journal.

I even create a couple of blogs in Blogger myself (post Google acquisition) to share photos and news with family located in different parts of the world, its integration with Picasa and the Hello service made Blogger a very easy tool to share memories.

As a web developer , I always wanted to go the extra mile and explore new platforms, I’ve looked at WordPress and installed a copy of their software in one of my servers and I thought there was nothing special about it, ” just another WordPress blog”…until a friend of mine asked for a simple website where he can show his condo on the beach and rent it out trough the website using a custom calendar and form for his customers. I spent a whole Sunday afternoon Googling about the different possibilities that I had to develop this website without spending too many hours (very limited budget) and achieving the goal that my friend wanted for this website, WordPress seemed to be the choice for this project, great plugin support, huge online community and easy enough to understand and learn the code in a short period of time.

This was the Before/After WordPress, my friend got his site with all this features and more…everything changed in the way that I develop websites, it is very rare that I recommend using a different platform to my clients, I was an avid Flash developer since Flash 4 was released in early 1999, I went trough all the iterations of Flash & Cold Fusion (Flash Remoting), developed complex applications and stunning presentations but nothing got my attention more than a zip file containing the now famous sidebar.php, header.php, index.php and so…

I have to thank WordPress for teaching me PHP language and CSS, XHTML markup.

Page templates possibilities, custom loops, hacks, categories, web services integration and the possibility of have infinite blogs (CMS) in one WordPress installation make this my platform of choice. With the new so called Web 2.0 technologies like AJAX and Jquery popping out all over the web, I’ve realized I can take advantage of this and include them in my WordPress themes, the result of this is the PressTheme series , a series of high quality WordPress themes to be released in the coming weeks, mediaPRESS will be the first of this series with innovative features and the high quality graphics that mediaCORE Studios provides.

if you are curious about the WordPress endless possibilities, head to their website and download a copy of the software.
