Disqus is a commenting system that offers features improving commenting blog posts in many ways:

  • Threaded discussions: users can reply to other comments
  • Email replying: bloggers can reply to comments via email
  • Shared profiles: The profile that commenter creates in Disqus is shared across all blogs using Disqus. So users can use the same profile to post comments in any blog that uses Disqus.
  • Spam control

Installing Disqus is easy:

  • Download the DISQUS Comment System WordPress plugin
  • Copy the plugin to WordPress plugins folder
  • Go to admin panel and activate the plugin
  • From Settings->DISQUS->Advanced set your DISQUS API Key and import your current comments to Disqus

Disqus is currently funded by Y Combinator and Union Square Ventures. There are other competing services such as JS-Kit and IntenseDebate.

µSprite generates ActionScript 3 code from your vector graphics. Sprites can be created in multiple layers and animated with timeline based tweens. µSprite generates ActionScript 3 or haXe code as you are drawing and designing. You can also import SVG graphics.

You can include the code as-is in your projects or enhance it further. With AS3 code your graphics can be resolution independent and might result in smaller, faster downloads than Flash applications with embedded bitmaps.

Install the openldap rpms

WHM>Software>Install RPM
- installed openldap
- installed openldap-servers
- installed openldap-devel - if it is not installed, you’ll get “Cannot find ldap.h” error while recompiling - this also needs cyrus-sasl-devel installed
(If cyrus-sasl-devel won’t install - find your existing version and download it from the centos mirror
- installed openldap-clients - for working from command line

Recompile Apache

if you are using php5, add the following in /var/cpanel/easy/apache/rawopts/all_php5

--with-ldap=/usr

Then run /scripts/easyapache

After compilation run php -m to check that ldap support is added.
