"Veronica – “Oh Grant Grant Grant… but surely not ALL women like to do is cook and use pink gadgets? This list is boring, unimaginative and trite.” What did you expect from a company that specializes in “Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers Digital Cameras and more!” I see 6 products that a father could potentially buy for a daughter ages 8-21). Don’t forget the “great gift ideas to pamper the women in your life” is directly to a large male demo." - Gabe Diaz

"@rebecca – Glad you found it useful and yes passing along styles from custom categories to the posts within those categories is why I needed a solution like this. By creating custom post templates you can modify every aspect of your post…really useful if you have a category sponsored by “x company” and need to show certain ads or a banner for the category and the posts within." - Gabe Diaz

"@Eric - If you want to style posts differently on your index.php and have them change depending on which category they are in you can try this within your loop: <?php if ( in_category('3') ) { ?><div class="post-cat-three"><?php } else { ?><div class="post"><?php } ?> Then you would just apply CSS to make your edits. WP 2.7 introduced the post class which make the above even easier. Basically your In your loop you would include: <div <?php post_class() ?> id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> The above outputs a category specific class which you can style via CSS.Reply - @Eric - \r\n\r\nIf you want to style posts differently on your index.php and have them change depending on which category they are in you can try this within your loop:\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\nThen you would just apply CSS to make your edits.\r\n\r\nWP 2.7 introduced the post class which make the above even easier.

wow where is my comment!! - abdellah
I have to say... very cool picture ... that is funny. - Marika Dye
abdellah: no homophobic comments on my posts. I delete them. - Bret Taylor
oh god!! it wasn't homophobic - abdellah
@abdellah It seemed that way. - EricaJoy
I think abdellah's original comment was asking why the couple WASN'T same-sex. - Brian Chang
so please take note of the following, first it wasn't intended to be homophobic I was just to make a point that not all couple are hetero, second point accusing my comment beeing homophobic without refrefing to me in dm or something else is abusive. - abdellah
can't we all just get along - Gabe Diaz
@brian you get it, but what can I say, I think that some jump to earlier to conclusion, @bret hope that as you deleted my comment you will edit or delete your owns refering to me as some one who make homophob comment thank you. - abdellah
Hide. Its a stupid effin pic anyway. - jcunwired
haha, cute picture!! it's complicated! - Susan Beebe
misunderstanding much? - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
I agree, it is awesome! (not biased, whatsoever) - Jeanette Bosman
@Erica!! really all what I saay was "why the pic wasn't a pic of a homo couple a man and man) damn FF is too masculin to be shown as women that all, for me there is nothing homophob in my sentence, but accusing me beeing homophob is really sad. but now I have to ask a question is it homophob to replace the pic above by a pic showing a homo couple, this is really sad, for me it is the... more... - abdellah
abdellah, if you don't mind my asking, is English your first language? I think part of what may have caused the misunderstanding is that, at least in the parts of the United States where I have lived, the term "homo" is almost always used in a derogatory sense. - Brian Chang
ha ok, yes english is my 2 language, homo is a french terms= gay, there is nothing degratory in saying homosexual. - abdellah
Told you it was a misunderstanding...LOL - Rahsheen ™, Coach of FF
awesome bret! luv it! - Jason Pollock
I've been dying for FB to drink some of the FF cool aid!! Let's hope the integration or technology transfer goes smoothly. Can't wait to see what comes out of it. I think it is a testament to the FB team that they saw and appreciated the same power off FF we all did. - Phil Ashman

El. Oh. El. You gotta be some sort of stupid to friend your boss before your probation period is up. Fired in front of friends and family? PRICELESS. - Anika
She's a f*ing idiot. A similar thing happened to a friend of mine at an ad agency, who accidentally texted "my boss is a fucking cunt" ... to her boss. She didn't get fired or reprimanded, but she freaked out about it. - LANjackal
It floors me how much people openly vent about their jobs on public feeds like FriendFeed. Even if your boss isn't a direct contact, how are people so sure that a boss or co-worker won't stumble across it? - Mike Doeff from iPhone
If I have complaints about work, I try to mask them as much as possible or make them more about me personally than the job itself. At the same time, I really try to stay mum about any job I have.. - Jon, the Beartato of FF
Mike and how are you so sure that other people don't know who you are talking about? There's a person here on FriendFeed who complains about their coworker. Even though I live in a different city, I know that coworker. - Anika
+1 Anika. I generally refrain from talking bad about my employer/coworkers ANYWHERE online. Even on anonymous accounts. You just never know who might freak out and file an unmasking court order. It's happened before. - LANjackal from IM
It also doesn't matter if anyone sees it when you write it, because The Google sees it and records it for anyone looking for it years from now. - Trish R
Maybe the more general rule that comes into play here is to never say anything about someone you wouldn't tell them to their face. - Ken Sheppardson
Well said Ken. - Benjamin Taylor
What an idiot... When people claim we don't need guidelines for employees using social media, I just have to point out cases of extreme stupidity like this... - Badger Gravling
Ouch! Hope she learned the lesson. And +1 Ken, this is the simplest rule not to forget at any point. - lelapin
this is huge! - Loic Le Meur
OH those lessons learned the hard way. - anna sauce
This is great! Don't bite the hand that feeds especially if you're friends on FB. - Gabe Diaz from iPhone
Why friend your boss in the first place, especially if all you do is complain about the job? - Adrian McMillan
Ouch… :P - Daniel Schildt
Well someone has to make room for other people! From the sounds of it, she was probably already canned anyway. - Robert Fisher
Well that was a bit dumb. The thing about social media is it's just so much a part of our lives. We are encouraged to pour our views and feelings into it but we have to remember who is going to be reading it. In the end we have to censor ourselves so as a result our lifestream is a watered down stream. There are no directors cuts. - Parvez Halim
Absolutely priceless! - Robert Couture
Oh and I forgot the LOL. - Parvez Halim
this is something that may occur very often. More than we think! - Rui
@Rui I remember a colleague of mine did a similar thing. Luckily they got away with a written warning and no pay rise for that year. - Parvez Halim
HUGE! - Nathan Guetta
Interestingly, every time I consider complaining about my job via any social media platform, I stop and think "how can I make my job better? how can I improve myself?" and then end up writing about that instead. It has made me a much happier person. Really. - mike fabio
OMG ! this is awesome - Franck Nouyrigat
OUCH! - Retno Nindya
:). Well it's okay for both of them. It sounded like the employee was really unlucky to got this job. He hated it deep inside. The "Boss" don't need people which don't love their work, ASK YOURSELF: What's more worse? Being fired after posting you real thoughts somewhere, or keep on working without having a bit of joy or patience on the job and face serious health problems after some time? - Ryo / Fuck Facebook
.. and that's why I'm private. I'm pretty good about not talking about work, but never know when I may say something completely stupid - Rodfather
I think there is a serious point here: Your on-line social network pals will be supportive of you regardless of whether you are right or wrong. That's what friends are for, kind of. All the boss does is let in a bit of reality. - sjjh
Maybe she wanted to be fired by her boss? Just questioning... - Torsten Eckert
Splendid. Too bad the story isn't real. OR IS IT...? - Francesco Balducci
I do so love the false sense of anonymity the Internet instills in people. - matthew john ernisse
haha! - orionstarr
Where did you get this? I'm trying to verify that it is actually a real event. Looks too 'perfect' and to generate this much hype I believe it is just two friends that wanted to laugh about how stupid the world is... - Brian J. Reeves
I wondered the same myself. The language suggests it's from the UK - LANjackal from IM
... or somewhere else where the British style of speech dominates - LANjackal from IM
April - you can't imagine how many people e-mailed me screenshots of this :) - Charlie Anzman
I wish I was here in order to press the "Like" button. - Clément Cailly
social media and your boss don't mix well :) - Dave Q

yeah, it seems the web interface is down but the api is working.. - Giorgio
I think the social media experts are going to spend the next hour talking about Twitter being down - Keith Barrett
Maybe read a book for a change? - Yiorgos Adamopoulos
Scoble's followers where the glue keeping Twitter together! now that he's 'pulled the pin' and released them all, Twitter has fallen down and can't get up. - MikeAmundsen
Seems to me like some sort of an (DDoS) attack on Twitter and Facebook. - Jari Hakkarainen

Man imagine if this had happened on #followfriday... - Rob Paller
Yiorgas: read a book for a change? I do that anyway, but only about 10/month. need more twitter time to balance it out - Rachel Clarke
Facebook is copying twitter too closely...even to going down at the same time - Robert Littlejohn
Does Twitter have what it takes to be a big player? We've been working with their API on a project and every time there is something out of whack. Anyone else have the same issues? - Chris Nadeau
twitter is really down, I think twitter itself should have a site that tweets when it's down :) - Ata İsmet Özçelik

Wondered why tweetdeck wasn't loading anything. actually got some programming work done. lol - Justin Long
friendfeed rules! - Kevin Dolan
twits will move, but only until twitter is back online, then there will be a mass exodus. Remember during all of the 2007/2008 fail whales users still flocked back to it regardless. - Travis Koger
Twitter, Facebook, now Posterous... 4chan organize an attack or something? - Sam Harrelson from IM

Hey, no bogus follow messages in my inbox for a while! ;-) - Julie Barrett from twhirl
This is teaching us something about the framework of the current Internet traffic patterns. We're watching cascade scale problems from one major Internet program going down. - Melanie Reed
Facebook is giving up the ol', "Transport error (#1001) while retrieving data from endpoint `/ajax/inline_comments.php': A network error occurred. Check that you are connected to the internet" message now. - 3Cinteractive, L.L.C. from twhirl
I think this is bigger than Twitter and FB... I think it's some interweb routes or something. I had a VoIP call going with a party local to me and two across the country and I lost the two across the country, but maintained the local party. And others are commenting on other sites showing signs of outages. - Timothy Federwitz from Alert Thingy
Twitter is Down....panic..run.,,SOS! - Veetrag

As I said, I predict a baby-boom in 9 months... wait and see! - Jordi Soler
SEO Experts can analyze their charts, celebrities and wannabe's can entertain us with video (maybe some cool Twitter Whore like stuff) , and social media experts can quickly become Fail Whale Experts. - Michele Lorito-Chase
@Lee Provost don't you thing you're going to be a little apocaliptic ? :-) - Filippo Ronco
Twitter downing has to be a lesson for all of us. if sometimes gmail or even google will be down. what we all are going to do in that situation??? - obolonskyi
@Filippo i've been suprised many times that reality is often more wacked up than the conspiracy theories of geeks :-p - Lee Provoost
I'm hoping the social media experts go away and do something useful. - Parvez Halim
@Lee this is true too :-) - Filippo Ronco
@Jordi LOL, considering that there are a vast amount of single male computer geeks out there in the twitter community, baby boom effect might be negligible :-D - Lee Provoost
what is bad here? here doesnt exist reply button =( - obolonskyi
The realtime updates of the comments is great. FF rulez. Would be better though to have the comment link not on top - Flynn (Michael A. Volz)
@Lee single male computer geeks - LOL)) - obolonskyi
Go back to MySpace? - Juliana
Maybe some will switch to FF if twitter is down for a while - Flynn (Michael A. Volz)
The twitter bots are rebelling - Charles
@Flynn, go check out this Greasemonkey script, solves it: http://userscripts.org/scripts... - Alex Schleber
Come here and moan about it! - Kami Huyse
Read post on 100k unfollow - I love how people are commenting and blaming Twitter being down on that! lol - Helene
@AlexSchleber: thanks, great :) - Flynn (Michael A. Volz)
AAANND.. it's back. At least for a moment I guess.. - Alex Schleber
AAANND it's GONE! ..Again. At least I managed to send out a quick FriendFeed SOS, as in: "Still think you shouldn't have all of your favorite tweeps in a "backup system" on FriendFeed? Join here: www.friendfeed.com/alexschleber " - Alex Schleber
Either collapse or back to use their phones in voice only mode, do some shopping, get eye to eye contact ... Blame god, and then. Give a serious try on FF ;p - Marco ILLESCAS from iPhone
They will still be able to Tweet to themselves - not sure if they will realize it is down until it comes back up. - Phil Harrison
I hope everyone will be ok...lol - April Mendez
Hey, can I hang out here on FF while my Twitter is down :) - Kevin Krewell
Welcome to FF Kevin! You can tweet from here too! - Arleen Anderson
Thanks Arleen. I hear all the kool kids hang out here now - like Scoble and you! - Kevin Krewell
I'm glad I joined FF yesterday, great timing! - CodeSamurai
I also micro-blog or create my own Twitter, but in more than 140 characters. - polou/indigo_bow
FF and Tumblr are working fine! :-) - Tim Moore
A good FF day- new familiar faces on this thread. - E-Advocate Network
What will the blackhat SEO experts, the SM spammers, and the social media experts do during a widespread outage? The answer is obvious: While sitting out the crisis they're fine-tuning their methodology. Seriously, your question offends me. There's a gazillion of SEO experts out there who do not abuse social media. - Sebastian
Sebastian there can't be a gazillion SEO experts! What's 10,000 keywords times 20?? (and that's being generous!) - Arleen Anderson
Would a social media expert consider it to be a crisis? If they rely so heavily on just one or two tools that it's enough to throw them into a tizzy, their expert status would seem to me to be ... questionable, at best. - Gord McLeod
Agreed. - Greg
Arleen, 10,000 keyword phrases times 20 is a tiny fraction of the search terms that are worth optimizing for. Think of the long tail. Also, consider lots of webmasters and even publishers / site owners / bloggers / Web developers ... SEO experts who are able to optimize their stuff quite successfully but don't sell or publish their expertise. Many of them, and even many SEO consultants, do make sensible use of social media, as plain users. - Sebastian
Gord, in a social media spammer's book 2 hours of outage, IOW 2 hours w/o sales from sneakily distributed links to questionable sales pitches, can sum up to way more than a good day's beer money. ;) However, "crisis" might be a term too strong for this potential loss. - Sebastian
+1 Sebastian - Bill Sodeman
I'm hung up on hop 12! - bev
I love FF! - John Giglio
come to Friend Feed? Not - Rob Cairns
You must be dying of laughter now Robert! - Arleen Anderson
Arleen: yes, reading this is fun. Sebastien SEO types are so easy to wind up. ;-) - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Gotta love it... @RobCairns says "come to Friend Feed? Not" and then his page shows ONE POST from Twitter in the past 18 hours! And that one talks about how Twitter seems to be slowing down again! (Sorry Rob, but that's just too good to let pass!) - Mark Jepsen
Robert, admit it, you broke Twitter by massively unfollowing people. The DDoS attack reports have just been a ruse to cover up the fact that you were the backbone of Twitter all this time. - Louis Trapani
Louis: that is true. I pissed the bots off. - Robert Scoble from iPhone
Keep running into the wall a few times then find alternate outlets such as ff, linkedIn, etc... - Kirsten Mitchell from iPhone
Looks like the devious plan to move everyone to FF is working well. LOL :) - Geer
Ha! The whole Facebook Twitter slowdown may have been just people clicking on spam (not a DDoS botnet). How funny! Manual DDoS. See Bill Woodcock's theory at CNet, AP, SF Gate, and The Register http://ff.im/6gLmO - Mitchell Tsai
There you go again implying the only ones that use twitter is SEO experts, the celebrities, the spammers, the bots, and the social media experts - This is definitely SPIN. Perhaps you should join CNN also LOL - RetiredTeacherD
Ironic, given your status as a celebrity social media expert who constantly spams about bots... :-P - David Kettler
Now they'll have time to shower and do their laundry! - Ron Hagenhoff
Ron, oh man, I hope the infrastructure will survive this :) - Ryo / Fuck Facebook

What do you mean? - Thor
a serious lack of intellect coupled with an egregious amount of over pimping yourself - Braden Douglass
Twittter is down - Jeremiah Owyang
Scoble unfollowed everyone and broke it. - Steven Melfi
It's down HARD - API and web site for about an hour - Jon DiPietro
braden, is that limited to twitter? ;) - Jeremiah Owyang
when you find out, let me know... :( - Sydney Owen
It's not working here in MN... must be down; API doesn't work, either so no tweets for us - Tim Elliott
site and API is totally down (nit just failwhaling). odd. - Sam Harrelson from BuddyFeed
Lots of folks at Dell are noticing it's down too. - LionelatDell
SCOBLE BROKE TEH TWEETEZ - Jeremiah Owyang
Loaded question, Jer ;) - Brett Kelly
Not even a fail whale on this end. - Ed Moltzen
I was using pingdom to track when it was back online. - Rob Paller
huge Twitter fail right now - Kevin Norman
It's down? How is that even possible? - Justin Whitaker
Been down for at least 45mins... - Penthouse Magazine
Twitter was a figment of our imagination ;) - Valeria Maltoni
Yeah -- I haven't seen a fail whale in a while. And i just noticed that Penthouse Magazine commented on your post, Jeremiah. - Daniel B. Honigman
Does Facebook or Friendfeed pick up the real time web slack when Twitter goes down? What is your first instinct on where to turn? - Joe Magennis from iPhone
Is this todo with the injunction? Twitter Sued for Patent Infringement - and it doesn’t look good - http://bit.ly/avWLR - ImJustCreative from twhirl
"We are determining the cause and will provide an update shortly" 5 mins ago on the status blog - jjprojects
Joe - Interesting how that happens, eh? Let's just move over here full time. - Sam Harrelson from IM
facebook is messed up too - (jeff)isageek
Major Fail Whale - huge - Drew Lucas from iPhone
so huge a fail, we're not even getting the whale :) FriendFeed must be rubbing their hands with glee - Robert McIntosh
I guess that's one way to get me to venture over to FriendFeed. - Ryan Stephens
Not sure, but i like it. - Johnny
@Ryan, this is a great time for me to figure out how FF works. - Sydney Owen
Kind of annoying, but interested to see where everyone will flock to in its absence... - Christian
So is this a coordinated attack on Twitter and Facebook? - Sam Harrelson from IM
Identica picks up a lot of the overflow - ImJustCreative
@Hutch I can't work, because a lot of my morning is on Twitter. Seriously. I'm just at a standstill, kinda. - Sydney Owen
LOL, I'm not the only one who is checking out Friendfeed a bit more right now :P - Selene M. Bowlby
Friendfeed was defeinitely the first place I came, then Facebook, but FB seems to be really lagging - Crispin Heath
Facebook was giving errors when commenting... - Gabe Diaz
I guess this is a perfect time for all you "die hard twitter users" to realize why Friendfeed is better! :D - Johnny
man, I think I have the shakes - Kevin Norman
Oh, look at all the fresh updates here! (Including mine) Is this the social media equivalent of a booty call? - Justin Whitaker
and the funniest part is when your first reaction is to tweet and find out what is going on. oops. Nothing on the blog, I checked. - nan braun
Can't access Twitter in NL either. Over to Friendfeed! - Samuel Driessen
I'm having login issues with Facebook as well (and so are a number of my friends in different parts of the countries). FriendFeed FTW - Sam Harrelson from IM
@Sydney I rather like FriendFeed, there's just more people on Twitter for me, it drives WAY more traffic, and it's RARE good discussions evolve here from anyone other than POWER users. - Ryan Stephens
love how we all pop over here when twitter is down ;) - Kate
Ryan: how do you have discussions on twitter? I'll agree that they are rare. - Johnny
What's up with twitter? Nothing. :-) - Panayotis Vryonis
Johnny: I have more discussions b/c my friends engage more there...of course harder to follow and usually include only 2-4 people. I LOVE the threaded comments here, provided a group of intelligent people were chatting, but how often does that happen? Sometimes with people like Scoble, Owyang and Louis Gray? (that's been my experience anyway.) - Ryan Stephens
Ryan: I don't think it's fair to assume that there is a lack of intelligent conversation on friendfeed, especially with your 12 comments and 2 likes which tells me you've never really tried it out. - Johnny
I was not fully awake trying to bring up the Twitter page. Good to know it wasn't just me. - RuthNH
Ryan: I'd be happy to build you a list of friendfeed users and send them to you later today - Johnny
Sam .. They are like alternate universes. Didn't expect anything in my Facebook feed, but knew it would be hopping here. Love this! This is going to be a Trending Topic I suspect .... - Joe Magennis from iPhone
@johnny I'd love to see that list, I'm going to sit down with friendfeed this weekend and figure it out - Sydney Owen
Well, you mean in general or just the current outage? ;) - Mads Kristiansen
Sydney: Subscribe to Kol (http://friendfeed.com/koltreg...) He is a very active user on friendfeed and already has a recommendation list. I'd be happy to create an additional one for you as well. - Johnny
.. Scoble must have run his script again, I guess.. ;) - Mads Kristiansen
Johnny: That's completely fair. I've lurked a lot & have read a lot of Louis Gray's, Scoble's and Valeria Maltoni's insights with respect to FriendFeed. You're right, maybe I'm not following the right people. And I didn't necessarily mean to imply there was a lack of intelligent conversation. It's just rare that I've seen these discussions develop from anyone's comments aside from a few power users. I'd be grateful for a list of users. - Ryan Stephens
A social networking coup? - Melissa Pierce
I heard from someone that Twitter doesn't even know why it's down. - Paul Chaney
Ryan: I'll subscribe to you and get you a list in the near future. This conversation that you are engaging in right now happens with the majority of users (not just power users). - Johnny
Yep, Twitter is still not working out here on the east coast @ 10:07am. - Dion Hinchcliffe
Facebook and Twitter are getting slammed. But internetpulse.net indicates the Internet is humming along. - Ed Moltzen

Thank God for Friendfeed and other such Microblogging streams. - PurpleZoe
Nothing on the twitter blog, which is still up: http://blog.twitter.com - Dion Hinchcliffe
I'm blaming Jeff Elder for breaking the Twitterz in the Charlotte area, because he wrote a column about how it was good for listening for businesses. http://bit.ly/ospIC - Andria Krewson from iPhone
Johnny: But how often does it start from someone's message that's not a 'power user' ? How often does someone following 100, have a 100 followers end up with conversations like this off of one of there comments? - Ryan Stephens
Are you asking for a list on how it can be improved, or are you referring to it being down at present? :) - Alasdair Munn
Failed Whale :-( - Gee Ekachai
Twitter works via SMS from your phone... - Tim Elliott
Tim: Who will be able to read it..? - Johnny

No Twitter? No FB? Yikes! I may actually get some WORK done this morning... :) - Alex Hayes
i've had problems with Facebook too. as i've been saying, i think friendfeed is the obvious choice for backup scenarios. - DanielthePoet
