One funny Facebook captcha check:

While checking out my personal blog (yes, some, although not all, of those hits are mine), I was a bit surprised to see this Google AdSense ad at the bottom:

The URL goes to MarkJiminez.com. (No, I did not click on the link. What I did was to right-click, copy the address, and look for the correct target URL at the end of the address - this way, I would not be committing click fraud.)

The ad, I would say, is an effective one. It catches one's attention right away, esp. if you are an avid supporter (or nonsupporter) of any of these three people (Manny Villar, Gibo, or Estrada).

Things you need to do to make WikkaWiki your content management system for your website:

1. Disable registration: in wikka.config.php change 'allow_user_registration' to '0'.

2. Change main_menu.inc and options_menu.inc - these files control how your header and footer menus (respectively) looks like.

My main_menu.inc contains only the following:

PageIndex
RecentChanges
RecentlyCommented
{{searchform}}

- I removed the categories link and the whoami bit.

My options_menu.inc contains the single bit [[UserSettings Login]] to show a login link.

Some notes on the use of WikkaWiki at 110mb.com (box 4) with htaccess support:

1. 110mb.com seems to not include in the unzipping the .htaccess files which is needed by WikkaWiki. You have to manually upload .htaccess files to the following directories:

templates/<template>/css
templates/<template>/images
images/

/3rdparty/plugins/wikkaedit/
In the Base URL, you have to remove "wikka.php?wakka=".

3. WikkaWiki's favicon could not be fixed by simply overwriting the favicon.ico file in the templates directory. The simplest way to fix this, in my opinion, is to just use an absolute URL for the href value in the shortcut icon link. You have to go to the templates folder and look for the header.php file. Change the following two lines:

<link rel="icon" href="<?php echo $this->GetThemePath('/') ?>/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php echo $this->GetThemePath('/') ?>/images/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" />

<link rel="icon" href="REPLACE_WITH_ABSOLUTE_URL" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="REPLACE_WITH_ABSOLUTE_URL" type="image/x-icon" />

Thus mine looked like:

<link rel="icon" href="http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy212/islesv/islesv-1.png" type="image/x-icon" />
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://i793.photobucket.com/albums/yy212/islesv/islesv-1.png" type="image/x-icon" />

The PhotoBucket file is the same favicon for my personal blog at blog.islesv.net.
