If you’re trying to install Zend Framework with Wamp for local development, then hopefully this will help. I’m assuming you’ve already got Wamp up and running, then tried the Zend Framework Quickstart and it had a head-fit on you…
We’ll keep it simple. Either extract/install as I do below letter for letter, or amend the filepaths accordingly to match your own. This is just how I did it on my local machine – no settings or instructions are intended for live sites, and any changes you make to your system are at your own risk.
First off, I have installed: (more…)

I’m using Posterous at the moment, but a little concerned that my blog won’t be the original poster as posterous may get spidered first.
I love the functionality of posterous though – images in the right order etc.
My problem with the Postie WordPress plugin seems to be that images go in at either the beginning or the end of the post. Not much use if you’re writing a ‘how-to’ with screen shots.
Default WordPress functionality seems useless for me as it’s limited to text only.
Anyone else know of a way to post to WordPress via email with image-order intact without the post showing up on some other site first?

Okay. It’s 20 to midnight, I know it’s stupid, but I got really bored.
Tonight, I’ll be mostly eating…Zend Framework and Wamp for some lovely
web development.
I know they’re supposed to get on like chalk and mouldy cheese, but let’s see what happens.
I’ll post back with an update on how much hair I lost, and how many Budweisers (empty of course) got thrown at my screen…

If you’re working in a development environment where the number of developers > 1, then the likelihood is you’ll want some kind of SVN / code repository / revision / version control in place. Or failing that, a good yoga teacher and some valium. We’re currently using GIT for our web development projects.
GIT has a Windows client installer that you can hit up and the installation wizard runs pretty nicely. Yes, it’s free, Yes, it’s open source, and Yes, legendary Linus Torvald is largely responsible for Git’s development.
If this is what you’re after, go get the GIT client, download and kick off the install.

Neat software to add your laptop or 2nd PC monitor as an extra display monitor. Free trial, but it’s so smooth I’ll be shelling out the $39 on this one immediately.
If you’ve already got 2 screens set up, and it’s not enough (it never is…), and you’ve run out of card slots in your PC for an extra graphics card, and the 2 machines are networked already – then try it, it’s sweet. Perfect for any web design / web development work. No, I’m not affiliated, I just think it’s great.
You can also take control of the second machine from the one you’re on, and view files, copy / paste, run programs etc etc.
Love it.

How do you get new inspiration for your business website? How can you rapidly develop a template graphic design? With so many options out there, including layout, colour, and hundreds or thousands of font types, it can be like trying to pick a tree in the woods. You can end up running round in circles, getting nowhere fast, and the options can seem mind-boggling. (more…)

We’re now using the NoFollow Free plugin for WordPress to clear the evil no-follow from our links. Okay, maybe it’s not quite evil…
There is a bit of a movement on at the moment – with a lot of bloggers wanting to remove the no-follow from links on their blogs. I’m not quite sure what the stats are at the moment – I presume most WordPress blogs are still no-follow, seeing as that’s how it comes out of the box.
What was the internet all about to start with? Let me think here a minute…yeah, linking to other sources of information! That was it!
PR sculpting and blog spam are regularly cited as a couple of the major reasons most blogs and bloggers started using no-follow. I haven’t noticed any let up in spam with no-follow applied – I don’t suppose spammers check for this….and most of us would probably have more luck with an ice sculpture than attempting PR sculpting…
Down with no-follow, I say.
