			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2240" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/startup-finance.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="236" />Cuando una <strong>startup </strong>empieza se suelen buscar <strong>Business Angels</strong>. Una vez la startup despega y gana sus primeros beneficios entonces es cuando los <strong>Capitales de Riesgo</strong> suelen incorporarse. Ambos tendrán un capital privado (no cotizado en bolsa) de la startup que se debe negociar.</p>
<p>Esto no debe confundirse con <strong>Préstamos </strong>o <strong>Financiaciones </strong>ya que éstos deben devolverse incluso cuando el negocio fracasa o no sale rentable.</p>
<h2>Bussiness Angels</h2>
<p>Suelen ser personas individuales (normalmente gente de negocios exitosa) que invierten de 10,000€ a 100,000€ en un <strong>negocio que está por empezar</strong> o ya en marcha. Tienen <strong>experiencia </strong>del mercado y contactos con los que ayudar y <strong>no requieren un puesto</strong> en la toma de decisiones del negocio.</p>
<h2>Capital de Riesgo (Venture Capital)</h2>
<p>Suelen ser empresas que invierten en <strong>negocios ya en marcha</strong> (o en negocios nuevos con fundadores que tienen reputación) y llegan a invertir cantidades de 200,000€ a más de 1,000,000€ (el dinero proviene de un <strong>grupo de inversores</strong>). Tienen contactos y normalmente <strong>requieren tomar parte en la junta directiva</strong> del negocio.</p>
<h2>Series A round, Series B round&#8230;</h2>
<p>Se refiere a las rondas de financiamiento que ha habido. Series A es la primera, Series B la segunda y así succesivamente.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2060" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/cheating.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="300" /><br />
Some <strong>SEO specialists</strong> are always trying to find holes in search engine&#8217;s algorithm and take  advantage of it instead of <strong>understanding the culture of Google</strong> and others and playing along with them. While this may give short term  advantage, it makes websites dependant on these tricks and creates a necessity  to constantly change and adapt. Just as someone doing something illegal needs to hide and change location, mobile phone number and clothes&#8230; The inevitable end is that the authorities will some day track him down.</p>
<p>Some naive companies are hiring  SEO agencies that use these <strong>dirty tricks</strong> and although they didn&#8217;t know anything about it, they <em>become dependant on them</em>. Most medium and big companies can invest on SEO on a regular basis but for small ones this can be tough some times. If they  ever stop using them they may find themselves in trouble since the card  castle will fall with a weak blowing wind on the next Google update. <strong>Grey hat SEO techniques may  become Black hat in a month</strong>, a week or even days and SEO agencies that  are in the loop of Google news can usually act quickly and <strong>re-adapt  their strategy</strong> to avoid getting their clients penalized. What if you don&#8217;t have an SEO agency taking care of your online presence anymore? Or if you change agencies and the current one doesn&#8217;t know the full details on the previous strategy?<br />
Furthermore, some  of these Grey hat strategies are sometimes abstract and  haven&#8217;t been tested thoroughly, usually just part of a belief, thought,  theory or something that &#8220;looks like it&#8217;s working&#8221; and they may be a big risk to take.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-2062" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/pelican.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>SEO  shouldn&#8217;t be targeted on what currently works best to show up first on  Google but on <strong>what the philosophy of Google is</strong>. This way you can <em>ensure  accumulative long term results and benefits</em> without worrying about  algorithm changes and penalization updates.</p>
<p>As  an example, today someone called at the company I&#8217;m contracting for.   They were an SEO agency experts in online marketing offering 300 manual submissions to web directories, 75   links to social networks and 6 articles posted to 25 websites every   month for only £150. Seriously? This strategy of<strong> inflating websites in   such an artificial way will end up exploding</strong> in a glimpse, specially now   that <strong>Google is punishing cheaters harder than ever</strong>. My recommendation has been to avoid them completely and spend the £150 in getting a great article from a professional content editor instead, something that people find interesting and talk about, something that fulfils a purpose and an action as in this <strong><a title="Effective SEO – Purposes and Actions in Content Writing" href="http://xaviesteve.com/effective-seo-purposes-and-actions-in-content-writing/">Effective SEO</a></strong> article.</p>
<p><strong>Focus on what Google wants</strong> which is nothing else than <em>improving the Internet and the overall user experience</em>:  provide people with the information they are searching for in a quick,  efficient and comfortable way. Carrying out this simple strategy will become long term SEO results  and constant <em>changes to Google algorithm will not harm you, they will  actually help you as Google keeps penalizing your naive competitors</em>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2047" title="Como hacer un presupuesto para una pagina web?" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/presupuesto-web.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="350" /></p>
<p>Si  quiere encargar una página web o rediseñar su web existente y no sabe  por donde empezar es importante tener las ideas claras de lo que se  quiere y sobretodo dejárselo claro a la agencia o profesional sin dejar  ninguna duda ni cabo suelto. Así conseguirá un presupuesto mucho más  preciso y fechas de entrega fiables.</p>
<p>A  continuación tiene un manual que le guiará paso a paso sobre que es lo que  debe hacer para tener un plan de proyecto web robusto y que le ayude a  recibir un presupuesto fiable.</p>
<h2>Información inicial</h2>
<h3>Único punto de contacto</h3>
<p>Empiece  por escribir el nombre, teléfono, email y dirección de la persona que  será el punto de contacto único de su empresa (o equipo de trabajo) con  el profesional o agencia que desea contratar. Es importante establecer  una persona y solo una para que la información fluya correctamente, no  haya malentendidos entre ambas partes y haya un acuerdo y entendimiento  en el resultado del producto final. Si contrata a una agencia que tiene  un equipo de trabajo, normalmente se comunicará siempre con el jefe de  proyecto. Si la agencia no tiene un jefe de proyecto, inste a esta a que  establezca una única persona de contacto.<br />
Es  también recomendable explicar un poco acerca de la persona en su  empresa que llevará todo el tema de la página web. Sin entrar en temas  personales, introdúzca la persona y explique el nivel de conocimientos  informáticos que tiene así como la familiarización que tiene con el  mundo de Internet y los tecnicismos web (estándares, dominios, HTML,  PHP, base de datos, etc.).</p>
<h3>Acerca de la empresa y el mercado</h3>
<p>Explique  a qué se dedica su empresa, donde se encuentra la oficina y si tiene  más de una, qué edad tiene, cuántos empleados trabajan en ella, sus  puntos fuertes y debilidades.<br />
A  continuación enumere sus principales competidores y aporte todos los  detalles que pueda incluyendo si tienen página web, su posicionamiento  en el mercado y los puntos fuertes y débiles de cada uno. ¿Qué  diferencia su empresa de sus competidores? ¿Por qué es mejor? ¿Por qué  peor?</p>
<h2>Requisitos</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2048" title="Objetivos" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/requisitos-pagina-web.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<h3>Su estado actual</h3>
<p>Antes  de pasar a lo que quiere es importante especificar qué material tiene  hasta el momento. ¿Tiene una imagen corporativa? ¿Dispone del texto que  quiere incluir en la página web? ¿Tiene una página web existente y la  quiere rediseñar o mejorar? Si es así escriba la dirección web, cuándo  se hizo y el autor de ella.</p>
<h3>Planificación de objetivos</h3>
<p>Explique  de manera clara y concisa los objetivos que pretende conseguir con su  nueva página web: ¿Pretende tener una presencia en el mercado online?  ¿Que sus clientes puedan encontrarle con facilidad? ¿Vender sus  productos en línea mediante comercio electrónico? ¿Mejorar la imagen que  tiene el consumidor? ¿Hacerla más moderna?</p>
<h3>Servicios deseados</h3>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2043" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/estructura-de-una-pagina-web.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>Especifique  qué servicios quiere exactamente. Puede que una vez terminado el  proyecto vea como le han cobrado de más por haber creído la agencia que  le faltaba algo que usted realmente no necesitaba, o puede encontrarse  con que le falta algo que quería y en su momento no especificó.<br />
Estos  servicios pueden ser tan variados como: todo el texto o parte del  contenido de la página web, diseño completo de la imagen corporativa de  la empresa (incluyendo logotipo, paleta de colores y estilo) o  simplemente de la página web, creación de un plan de marketing en linea o  campaña publicitaria, registro y protección de la identidad online,  programación de la página web, servicios de alojamiento y registro de  dominios, promoción y posicionamiento en buscadores, estudios de  usabilidad y experiencia de usuario, etc.</p>
<h4>Diseño de identidad e imagen</h4>
<p>Si  no dispone de un logotipo y una imagen de la empresa es muy  recomendable que observe si la agencia o profesional puede hacerse cargo  de ello o debe buscar a otro profesional o agencia dedicada a ello. En  caso de ser así, pida que le recomienden a alguien.</p>
<h4>Diseño de página web</h4>
<p>El  diseño de una página web es algo muy personal y subjetivo. Empiece por  describir cómo quiere que sea el diseño: moderno, clásico, alegre,  claro, tradicional, simple, etc.<br />
Describa  los sentimientos y atributos que desea que los visitantes sientan al  entrar en su página web: calor, amistad, exclusividad, seguridad,  confort, excitación, etc.<br />
Describa  los atributos que quiere sugerir acerca de su empresa: honestidad,  humor, profesionalidad, inteligencia, liderazgo, sofisticación,  confianza, etc.<br />
Sea realista con los sentimientos y atributos, no intente abarcarlos todos y céntrese sólo en aquellos que más le importan.<br />
Facilitará  el trabajo si enumera varias páginas que visualmente le agradan y que  comparten el mismo estilo que está buscando para su página web.</p>
<h4>Contenido y editorial</h4>
<p>Especifique  si dispone del texto que incluirá su pagina web, si ya dispone de  alguien que se hará cargo de ello o si desea que un equipo de escritores  especializados se encargue de redactarlo o mejorarlo. ¿Necesita ayuda  definiendo estilos de escritura consistentes o estableciendo una  estrategia de contenido?</p>
<h4>Programacion y funcionalidades</h4>
<p>¿Qué  funciones quiere tener en su página web? Desde un formulario de  contacto, boletín de noticias por correo electrónico, foro de debate,  sistema de compra, apartado de artículos y noticias, vídeos o música  reproducibles directamente en la página, archivos descargables, mapa  interactivo, secciones donde sus usuarios puedan comentar, votar,  compartir y/o valorar, integración con servicios externos como Facebook,  Twitter, LinkedIn, etc.<br />
Pregunte en que lenguaje de programación se codificará la página web y sus ventajas e inconvenientes.</p>
<h4>Alojamiento y servicios</h4>
<p>¿Sabe en que servidor quiere hospedar la página? Acepte recomendaciones.</p>
<h4>Mantenimiento</h4>
<p>Tiene  a alguien en la empresa para que mantenga el sitio actualizado? Desea  contratar a alguien para que mantenga la web actualizada? En caso de que  la web se “caiga” (tenga un error que impida su funcionamiento normal),  ¿quién lo arreglará? Debe tener esto claro y pedir a la agencia o  profesional lo que necesite.</p>
<h2>Estructura</h2>
<p>Haga  un esquema de todas las secciones que desea tener en su página web así  como de toda la información que desea albergar en ella. Si no sabe por  donde empezar, déjese recomendar por manos expertas.</p>
<h2>Perfil del visitante</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2045" title="Visitantes web" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/perfil-visitante.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>Describa  los dos perfiles principales de visitantes a su sitio, su situación  económica y demográfica. ¿Son científicos? ¿Gente mayor? ¿Jóvenes con  poco dinero? ¿Padres? ¿Profesores?<br />
Explique  qué necesidades tendrán sus visitantes: ¿Aprender mas sobre sus  productos? ¿Participar en alguna causa? ¿Ver dónde se encuentra su  empresa o comercio? ¿Ver qué horario de apertura tiene su negocio?<br />
Si ya dispone de página web, ¿qué necesidades cumple y en cuales falla?</p>
<h2>Modo de trabajo</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2044" title="Oficina agencia web" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/pagina-web-oficina.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>¿Desea  que el especialista trabaje desde su propia empresa para tener un mayor  control sobre el desarrollo del proyecto o prefiere que trabaje  remotamente? Si trabaja en su oficina, ¿le suministrará un ordenador o  tendrá que traerse su ordenador portátil? Si trabajan externamente  establezca una frecuencia estimada de reuniones que desea tener con la  agencia o profesional.</p>
<h3>Fechas</h3>
<p>Una  página web completa se puede conseguir en un mínimo de dos semanas y un  máximo de seis meses. Definir un calendario de fechas de inicio y  finalización es importante. Si tiene una fecha límite para que la página  web salga a la luz dígala. Pida a la agencia o profesional que le dé  fechas clave, fases o metas durante el desarrollo del mismo (fin de la  etapa de diseño, inicio de la de programación, inicio del testeo, etc.)  para asegurar una comunicación fluida y que usted pueda tener un control  sobre el producto (semanal, mensual&#8230;). No olvide especificar estas  fechas en el contrato.</p>
<h3>Revisiones</h3>
<p>Establezca  cuántas revisiones del producto puede hacer en total. Normalmente se le  dará una o dos oportunidades para cambiar cualquier aspecto que no le  agrade y suelen ser suficientes aunque puede aumentar este numero si así  lo desea (incrementando seguramente el coste final). Para evitar  malentendidos es muy aconsejable que establezca el número de cambios  (grandes y pequeños) que puede hacer en el contrato antes de empezar.</p>
<h3>Déjese aconsejar por expertos</h3>
<p>El  mundo de Internet evoluciona diariamente y aunque hace un mes haya oído  en el diario o un amigo le cuente acerca de algo que funcionó  perfectamente, puede que hoy en día ya sea cosa del pasado. Siempre  escuche sus consejos críticamente e investigue en Internet.</p>
<h2>Precio inicial y costes de mantenimiento</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2046" title="Cuanto dinero cuesta una pagina web" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/presupuesto-pagina-web-dinero.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>Los  precios pueden variar mucho dependiendo del tamaño y la cantidad de  funciones de la web así como de la experiencia que tenga la agencia o el  profesional.<br />
Deberá  preguntar el método de cobro de la agencia o profesional: si es un  precio fijo, por horas trabajadas, etc. El modo de pago también variará,  es muy usual que se le requiera un pago inicial del 30% o 50% sobre el  valor total.<br />
El  precio final de una página web puede variar muchísimo, por una página  web sencilla le pueden pedir desde 200€ hasta 2,000€. Para páginas web  con sistemas de compra personalizados o funciones especializadas fuera  de lo común los presupuestos pueden rondar desde los 3,000€ hasta los  20,000€. Pida un desglose del precio y a partir de ahí considere si  ciertas funcionalidades son realmente necesarias. Si tiene un  presupuesto estipulado a veces es conveniente decirlo de antemano para  evitar perder el tiempo.<br />
Siempre  compruebe la experiencia y el portafolio (otros trabajos realizados) de  la agencia o profesional y si la página web debe costar mas de 1,000€  contrate a un <a href="../">consultor experto independiente</a> para que le garantice que la razón calidad-precio de lo que le ofrecen es la adecuada (puede <a href="http://xaviesteve.com/contact-me/">contactar conmigo</a> si quiere que le asesore en ello).</p>
<h2>Exija un contrato</h2>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2042" title="Contrato Pagina Web" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/contrato-pagina-web.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /></p>
<p>Siempre  exija un contrato firmado por escrito entre las dos partes, antes de  empezar el trabajo, en el que se explique qué es lo que se va a  realizar, cuánto va a costar y las fechas de entrega.<br />
La  finalidad del contrato es que se establezcan las responsabilidades y  proteja ambas partes en caso de retrasos, impago o malentendidos.  Siempre lea el contrato entero y no acepte nada ciegamente. Recuerde que  el proceso de negociación existe precisamente para redactar un contrato  justo entre ambas partes. Si no sabe por donde empezar o cree que el  contrato que le ofrecen tiene alguna clausula abusiva o no es justo, <a href="http://xaviesteve.com/contact-me/">contacte conmigo</a> y le asesoraré en ello.</p>

<p>Direct link to the tool: <a class="blue button strong" href="http://xaviesteve.com/pro/flicksourcer/">Flicksourcer</a></p>
<p>Jonathan Foucher created Flickholdr a few weeks ago and I am impressed by how good the system is. It is not like other dummy image generators where you get a grey box or images of cats, it allows you to source random <strong>Creative Commons images from Flickr</strong> or even keyword relevant ones, scale them to your desired size and<strong> add a Copyright tag</strong> with the authors name automatically.</p>
<p>Flickholdr is mainly designed to be used as a <strong>placeholder image tool</strong> although I had been using it a couple times to <em>source images for live posts in a quick way</em>, allowing me to <em>save time browsing Flickr for free licensed images</em> and scaling them in Fireworks/Photoshop. The minor problem I had with Flickholdr is that I had to keep <em>changing the URL manually</em> one by one and finding the perfect image was quite tedious.</p>
<p>So I came up with this little script that <strong>loads several images in one click</strong>. You specify the image size, some relevant keywords (optional) and the quantity of images to generate. Try to keep the quantity number as low as possible since Jonathan shares the service for free and if many requests are made it can turn the service slow for other users.</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/pro/flickholdr.php"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-1947" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/Untitled-13.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="179" /></a></p>

<p><a class="blue button strong" href="http://xaviesteve.com/pro/flicksourcer/">Flicksourcer <small>http://xaviesteve.com/pro/flicksourcer/</small></a></p>
<p>You can also download the source code completely for free since it has been coded using JavaScript, jQuery and HTML. If you host it in your site remember to mention and link back to Jonathan and to myself (CC-by-sa 3.0).</p>

<p>Launchlist es un servicio gratis que nos muestra una <strong>lista de las cosas que debemos tener en cuenta antes de publicar un sitio web</strong>. Nos permite <strong>enviarla por correo</strong> una vez terminado para poder imprimirlo y modificarla para anadirle lo que queramos.</p>
<p>Empezamos rellenando los datos del proyecto y a quien queremos enviarle el informe una vez terminado.</p>
<p>Y pasamos a <strong>decir Si o No</strong> a los diferentes aspectos (se pueden <strong>deshabilitar items</strong> y <strong>anadir comentarios</strong>):</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-964" title="launchlist-completing-the-report" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/launchlist-completing-the-report-600x391.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="391" /></p>
<p>Una vez terminemos de contestar <strong>clicamos en Submit Report</strong> y nos aparece el mensaje de confirmacion:</p>
<p><img class="alignnone size-large wp-image-966" title="launchlist-list-completed" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/launchlist-list-completed-600x359.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="359" /></p>
<p>En nuestra direccion de correo recibiremos el informe:</p>

<p>Funciona muy bien aunque seria fantastico que se pudieran guardar los proyectos y poder actualizar la lista a medida que avanza el proyecto.</p>
<p>La web de Launchlist: <a class="button blue" href="http://launchlist.net/">launchlist.net</a></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-951" title="words" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/words.jpg" alt="" width="600" height="200" /><br />
These are code snippets that I use very frequently while developing advanced or custom WordPress themes. I keep adding and improving this list.</p>
<h3>Get custom field</h3>
<p>Will echo the &#8220;thumb&#8221; custom field:</p>
<pre>$values = get_post_custom_values("thumb"); echo $values[0];</pre>
<h3>Custom loop</h3>
<p>The custom loop allows you to include more than one WordPress loop in the same page:</p>
<pre>$carrotposts = new WP_Query();
$carrotposts-&gt;query('s=carrot');
if (!$carrotposts-&gt;have_posts()) {
  /* no posts */
}else{
  /* we have posts */
  $howmany = $carrotposts-&gt;post_count;
  while ($carrotposts-&gt;have_posts()) : $carrotposts-&gt;the_post();
    /* print posts */
  endwhile;
}</pre>
<h3>Get URL of the first image in a post</h3>
<p>Paste the function in functions.php and run it inside a WP loop or provide a post ID to target a specific one regardless of where you are.</p>
<pre>function catch_that_image($id = '') {
 $first_img = '';
 ob_start();
 ob_end_clean();
 if (!$id) {
 global $post, $posts;
 $id=$post-&gt;post_content;
 $output = preg_match_all('/&lt;img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*&gt;/i', $post-&gt;post_content, $matches);
 }else{
 $custompost = get_pages('include='.$id.'');
 $output = preg_match_all('/&lt;img.+src=[\'"]([^\'"]+)[\'"].*&gt;/i', $custompost[0]-&gt;post_content, $matches);
 }
 $first_img = $matches[1][0];

 // no image found display default image instead
 if(empty($first_img)){
 $first_img = "/images/default.jpg";
 }
 return $first_img;
}</pre>
<h4>Resize an image easily with TimThumb and this function</h4>
<p>Place TimThumb in your theme folder and name it thumb.php.</p>
<pre>function timthumb($src, $w, $h) {
	$q = 90;
	$zc = 1;
	$url = get_bloginfo('template_url').'/thumb.php?src='.$src.'&amp;w='.$w.'&amp;h='.$h.'&amp;q='.$q.'&amp;zc='.$zc;
	return $url;
}</pre>
<h3>Get keywords from the URL</h3>
<p>Gets the URL without the domain and converts hyphens and other symbols into spaces. Useful for 404 errors, you could display related tags or do an automatic search into your WordPress.</p>
<pre>$keywords = preg_replace("/([^a-zA-Z0-9])/", " ", substr(curPageURL(), strlen(get_bloginfo('url'))+1));</pre>
<h3>Send an e-mail through WordPress</h3>
<p>As simple and effective as that, I use it to send 404 errors and other information to my e-mail as it happens. It is highly customizable and allows you to send HTML emails too.</p>
<pre>// sendmail (subject, message)

function sendmail($sub = "Unknown", $text = "(no text)", $to = "me@example.com") {
  $msg = '
    &lt;html&gt;
     &lt;body&gt;
       '.$text.'
     &lt;/body&gt;
   &lt;/html&gt;';
  $headers = array("From: Garold Walker &lt;garold@example.com&gt;", "Content-Type: text/html");
  $h = implode("\r\n",$headers) . "\r\n";
  wp_mail($to, $sub, $msg, $h);
}</pre>
<h4>Check if user is logged in</h4>
<pre>if (is_user_logged_in()) { /*yes*/ }else{ /*no*/ }</pre>
<h2>WordPress paths and bloginfo variables</h2>
<p>Website path: <code>bloginfo('url');</code><br />
Template path: <code>echo bloginfo('template_url');</code><br />
CSS file path: <code>echo bloginfo('stylesheet_url');</code></p>
<p>Charset: <code>echo bloginfo('charset');<br />
</code>Blog name: <code>echo bloginfo('name');</code></p>
<h2>WordPress hooks</h2>
<h4>Remove jQuery default loading in WP</h4>
<p class="small">Very useful if you want to defer the loading of any Javascript to the bottom of the page. Watch out not to disable it in the admin panel (add it to the header.php of your theme instead of the functions.php):</p>
<pre>wp_deregister_script('jquery');</pre>
<h4>Remove META GENERATOR</h4>
<pre>function i_want_no_generators() {
  return '';
}
add_filter('the_generator','i_want_no_generators');</pre>
<h4>Remove RSD link</h4>
<pre>remove_action('wp_head', 'rsd_link');</pre>
<h4>Remove Windows Live Writer</h4>
<pre>remove_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');</pre>
<h2>PHP</h2>
<p>These are PHP codes that don&#8217;t use the WordPress &#8216;framework&#8217; but are helpful to create advanced WordPress themes.</p>
<h4>Header info</h4>
<pre>header('HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found');</pre>
<h4>Trim text without cutting the words and adding hellip when necessary</h4>
<pre>/* This function will trim text without
cutting it in the middle of the word and
adding … if longer
*/
function trimtext($text, $length) {
	$words = explode(" ", $text);
	$newtext = "";
	$addhellip = "";
	foreach ($words as $word) {
		if (strlen($newtext." ".$word) &lt; $length) {
			$newtext .= " ".$word;
		}else{
			$addhellip = 1;
			break;
		}
	}
	if ($addhellip) {$newtext .= "…";}
	return $newtext;
}</pre>
<h4>WordPress Relative date (without/no plugin needed)</h4>
<p>WordPress has a function for that:</p>
<pre>&lt;?php relative_post_the_date(); ?&gt;</pre>
<p>Or also:</p>
<pre>Published &lt;?=human_time_diff(get_the_time('U'), current_time('timestamp'))?&gt; ago.</pre>
<p>And here&#8217;s a function to convert seconds to relative date. Useful to display user-friendly times. Can be highly customized: &#8220;3 minutes ago&#8221;, &#8220;in 2 hours&#8221;, &#8220;for the last 6 months&#8221;, &#8220;takes 10 seconds&#8221;&#8230;</p>
<pre>function relativedate($secs) {
  $second = 1;$minute = 60;$hour = 60*60;$day = 60*60*24;$week = 60*60*24*7;$month = 60*60*24*7*30;$year = 60*60*24*7*30*365;
  if ($secs &lt;= 0) { $output = "now";
  }elseif ($secs &gt; $second &amp;&amp; $secs &lt; $minute) { $output = round($secs/$second)." second";
  }elseif ($secs &gt;= $minute &amp;&amp; $secs &lt; $hour) { $output = round($secs/$minute)." minute";
  }elseif ($secs &gt;= $hour &amp;&amp; $secs &lt; $day) { $output = round($secs/$hour)." hour";
  }elseif ($secs &gt;= $day &amp;&amp; $secs &lt; $week) { $output = round($secs/$day)." day";
  }elseif ($secs &gt;= $week &amp;&amp; $secs &lt; $month) { $output = round($secs/$week)." week";
  }elseif ($secs &gt;= $month &amp;&amp; $secs &lt; $year) { $output = round($secs/$month)." month";
  }elseif ($secs &gt;= $year &amp;&amp; $secs &lt; $year*10) { $output = round($secs/$year)." year";
  }else{ $output = " more than a decade ago"; }
  if ($output &lt;&gt; "now"){$output = (substr($output,0,2)&lt;&gt;"1 ") ? $output."s" : $output;}
  return $output;
}
echo relativedate(60); // 1 minute</pre>
<h3>Shorten a URL with Bit.ly&#8217;s simple API</h3>
<pre>function getBitLy($url) {
	$login = "yourusername";
	$appkey = "yourbitlyapi";
	$format = "txt";
	return file_get_contents('http://api.bit.ly/v3/shorten?login='.$login.'&amp;apiKey='.$appkey.'&amp;uri='.urlencode($url).'&amp;format='.$format);
}</pre>
<h2>Plugin Development</h2>
<h3>Add a style sheet to your plugin Admin panel</h3>
<pre># stylesheet
function admin_register_head() {
    $siteurl = get_option('siteurl');
    $url = $siteurl . '/wp-content/plugins/' . basename(dirname(__FILE__)) . '/style.css';
    echo "
\n";
}
add_action('admin_head', 'admin_register_head');</pre>
<h3>Add a button in your Admin panel sidebar at the top above Dashboard</h3>
<pre>add_action('admin_menu', '_add_menu_in_panel');

function _add_menu_in_panel() {
	if (function_exists('current_user_can')) {
		if (!current_user_can('manage_options')) return;
	}else{
		global $user_level;
		get_currentuserinfo();
		if ($user_level &lt; 8) return;
	}
	if (function_exists('add_options_page')) {
		add_menu_page( 'textintitletag', 'textinbutton', 'edit_pages', 'pluginname', 'functiontoloadwhenopened', get_bloginfo('url').'/favicon.png', '-1' );
	}
}</pre>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="button blue small" href="http://xaviesteve.com/best-facebook-setup-to-privacy-using-access-lists/">Read this post in English</a><br />
<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-667" title="facebook-privacy-settings-grouping-method" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-privacy-settings-grouping-method.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="327" /><br />
A continuacion explico un metodo muy facil y rapido para mantener controlado al milimetro la privacidad de tu cuenta en Facebook. <strong>Es muy facil y permite personalizar cada amigo individualmente de una forma muy rapida</strong>. He estado usando este metodo durante los ultimos 8 meses y mi cuenta es segura y sin agujeros de privacidad, compartiendo aquello que quiero con quien quiero y ocultando las secciones que no quiero a determinados amigos (por ejemplo, aquella gente a la que solo he agregado por tener mejor puntuacion en los juegos de Facebook como FarmVille, Guerra de Pandillas o Mobwars).</p>
<h2>Listas de amigos de Facebook</h2>
<p>Las listas de amigos son un metodo muy util de agrupar a tus amigos acorde a su relacion contigo (familia, companeros de trabajo, universidad, etc&#8230;)</p>
<p>La ventaja que tenemos es que podemos usar las <strong>Listas de Amigos</strong> como <strong>Listas de Acceso</strong>. Explicado a continuacion:</p>
<h2>Planeando las Listas de Acceso de Facebook</h2>
<p>Vamos a crear una lista por cada tipo de acceso. Estas son las listas de acceso que tengo configuradas actualmente:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>01 &#8211; Estado y enlaces</strong> (los amigos en este grupo podran ver actualizaciones de estado, Intereses y de que grupos soy fan)</li>
<li><strong>02 &#8211; Wall Posts</strong> (podran ver los mensajes del muro y escribir en el)</li>
<li><strong>03 &#8211; Fotos</strong> (podran ver mis fotos)</li>
<li><strong>04 &#8211; Videos</strong> (los videos son un poco mas delicados que las fotos asi que prefiero separar su acceso, por ejemplo, algunos familiares o mi jefe no quiero que vean algunos videos en los que salgo)</li>
<li><strong>05 &#8211; Educacion y Trabajo</strong> (podran ver informacion de trabajo y mis estudios)</li>
<li><strong>07 &#8211; Info de Contacto</strong> (podran ver donde vivo, mi numero de telefono, mi e-mail y demas informacion de contacto)</li>
<li><strong>00 &#8211; NADA</strong> (la gente en este grupo no podra ver nada de nada aparte de la foto de perfil, perfecto para aquella gente que tienes en el Facebook y no conoces de nada, normalmente seran gente que has agregado para tener mas puntos en el algun juego de Facebook: FarmVille, Mobwars, etc. o gente que agregaste estando borracho/a y ni te acuerdas)</li>
</ul>
<p>CONSEJO: Usa un prefijo tipo &#8220;<strong>01 -</strong> &#8221; para diferenciar entre las listas de amigos y las de acceso.</p>
<p>Puedes crear mas listas y ser todo lo especifico que quieras (separar educacion de trabajo, etc.) aunque con esta configuraciontu cuenta de Facebook ya estara muy protegida. Una vez hayas acabado de configurar las listas, vamos a crearlas.</p>
<h2>Crear Listas de Acceso en Facebook</h2>
<p>NOTA: Las imagenes estan en ingles aunque siguiendo las instrucciones que os doy podeis llegar perfectamente, si no entendeis algun paso preguntadlo en los comentarios al final del post y lo actualizo :-)</p>
<p>Ves a <strong>Amigos</strong>:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-669" title="facebook-step1-friends-list" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="284" /></a></p>
<p>Haz clic en <strong>Crear una lista</strong> arriba a la derecha:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step2-create-friend-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-670" title="facebook-step2-create-friend-list" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step2-create-friend-list.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="522" /></a></p>
<p>Ahora escribe el nombre del primer grupo de acceso: <em>01 &#8211; Estado y enlaces</em>.</p>
<p>Selecciona aquellos amigos que quieras que tengan acceso a tu estado y enlaces. Sigue este proceso hasta que hayas creado todas las listas de acceso.</p>
<p>Por ultimo, crea la lista <strong>00 &#8211; NADA</strong>. Este grupo no tendra acceso a nada (aunque pertenezca a otros grupos).</p>
<h2>Configurando las Listas de Acceso en Opciones de Privacidad</h2>
<p>Ahora que tenemos todas las listas creadas, accede a <em>Cuenta</em> y luego a <em>Configuracion de privacidad</em>:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step3-privacy-settings.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-671" title="facebook-step3-privacy-settings" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step3-privacy-settings.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="288" /></a></p>
<p>Recorre todas las secciones que encuentres:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step4-privacy-settings-friends-tags-connections.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-672" title="facebook-step4-privacy-settings-friends-tags-connections" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step4-privacy-settings-friends-tags-connections.jpg" alt="" width="471" height="241" /></a><br />
Y en cada una selecciona <em>Personalizar</em>:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step5-privacy-custom-access.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-673" title="facebook-step5-privacy-custom-access" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step5-privacy-custom-access.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="174" /></a></p>
<p>Al clicar en Personalizar aparecera una ventanita. En <em>Hacer esto visible a </em>selecciona <em>Personalizar</em> y selecciona la/s lista/s que mas se adapten a ese apartado. En Ocultar a selecciona <em>00 &#8211; NADA</em>.</p>
<p>Aqui tienes un ejemplo de mi configuracion para que amigos pueden ver mi numero de telefono movil:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step6-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-674" title="facebook-step6-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step6-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="314" /></a></p>
<p>Otro ejemplo:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step7-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-668" title="facebook-step7-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group-2" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step7-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group-2.jpg" alt="" width="494" height="309" /></a></p>
<p>Sigue haciendo esto con todos los apartados. Una vez termines te quedara algo como esto:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step9-privacy-settings-set-up-correctly.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-675" title="facebook-step9-privacy-settings-set-up-correctly" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step9-privacy-settings-set-up-correctly.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="301" /></a></p>
<h2>Mantenimiento de las Listas de Acceso en Facebook</h2>
<p>Si necesitas agregar o quitar a gente de las listas de acceso lo puedes hacer facilmente siguiendo estos pasos. Haz click en <em>Amigos</em>:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-669" title="facebook-step1-friends-list" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="284" /></a></p>
<p>Apareceran todas las listas que tienes creadas. Clica en la lista que quieras modificar:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step10-editing-friends-access-lists.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-676" title="facebook-step10-editing-friends-access-lists" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step10-editing-friends-access-lists.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="654" /></a></p>
<p>Y a la derecha clica en <em>Editar lista</em>:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step11-editing-friends-access-lists-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-677" title="facebook-step11-editing-friends-access-lists-2" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step11-editing-friends-access-lists-2.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="55" /></a></p>
<p>Ahora selecciona o deselecciona amigos que quieras agregar o quitar de la lista.</p>
<h2>Confirmando y configurando nuevos amigos</h2>
<p>Cuando confirmes un nuevo amigo:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-confirming-a-new-friend.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679" title="facebook-step12-confirming-a-new-friend" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-confirming-a-new-friend.jpg" alt="" width="543" height="161" /></a></p>
<p>Al darle a <em>Confirmar</em> aparecera un boton que pone <em>Anadir a la lista</em>, haz clic ahi y aparecera una ventana:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-adding-new-friend-to-lists.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-678" title="facebook-step12-adding-new-friend-to-lists" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-adding-new-friend-to-lists.jpg" alt="" width="472" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>Personaliza que listas quieres que tu amigo tenga acceso. Si no lo conoces de nada agregalo simplemente a <em>00 &#8211; NADA</em> y no te preocupes que no tendra acceso a nada.</p>
<h2>Fin :)</h2>
<p>Ya esta! Espero que esta guia os ayude a mantener vuestra privacidad en estos tiempos que corren en Facebook.</p>
<p>Si tienes alguna idea o sugerencia comenta en este post y mejorare la guia.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-667" title="facebook-privacy-settings-grouping-method" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-privacy-settings-grouping-method.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="327" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a nice way to keep your privacy settings in Facebook up-to-date and secure. It is really easy to set up and <strong>you can customize every friend individually</strong> really fast and easy. I&#8217;ve been using it for the last year and my account is as secure as I want, just sharing what I want to whom I want and hiding what I don&#8217;t want to show too in an easy way to set up and maintain.</p>
<h2>Facebook Friend lists</h2>
<p>The friend lists are useful to group people regarding your relation with you i.e. Family, Work colleagues, University, High School, London&#8230;</p>
<p>But you can also use Friend lists to create <strong>Access lists</strong>. That&#8217;s what we are going to do&#8230;</p>
<h2>Planning the Access lists</h2>
<p>What we will do is to create a list for each type of access. Thiese are the access lists I&#8217;ve got:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>01 &#8211; Status and Links</strong> (friends in this group will be able to see wall posts, status updates, Interests and groups I belong to)</li>
<li><strong>02 &#8211; Wall Posts</strong> (friends here will be able to POST on your wall)</li>
<li><strong>03 &#8211; Photos</strong> (will be able to see your photos)</li>
<li><strong>04 &#8211; Videos</strong> (videos are usually more embarrassing/private than photos so I prefer to separate people that can see photos and videos)</li>
<li><strong>05 &#8211; Education and Work</strong> (will be able to see Education and Work information)</li>
<li><strong>07 &#8211; Contact info</strong> (will be able to see your address, phone number, etc.)</li>
<li><strong>00 &#8211; NOTHING</strong> (this people will not be able to see anything! useful for those Facebook friends you don&#8217;t know at all but you&#8217;ve added through Facebook games, because they are hot, you were drunk or [insert strange reason here])</li>
</ul>
<p>TIP: Use a prefix like &#8220;<strong>01 -</strong> &#8221; to differentiate between Access and normal Friend lists.</p>
<p>Once you&#8217;ve got your lists planned (you can be more specific and differentiate between Status updates and Interests, etc&#8230;) let&#8217;s create them.</p>
<h2>Creating Facebook Access lists</h2>
<p>Go to Friends:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-669" title="facebook-step1-friends-list" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="284" /></a></p>
<p>And click on Create list:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step2-create-friend-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-670" title="facebook-step2-create-friend-list" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step2-create-friend-list.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="522" /></a></p>
<p>Now type in the first access group: <em>01 &#8211; Status and links</em>.</p>
<p>Select those friends you want to be able to see your status and links. Maybe you want just some of your family members to be able to see them, or only some work colleagues.</p>
<p>Keep doing this with all the above groups mentioned.</p>
<p>Last step is to create the <strong>00 &#8211; NOTHING</strong> group. This group will have no access to anything, I use it for those people you just add from Facebook games like Mobwars, Farmville and so, just because you need to have more friends playing it to improve in the game but they are not really your friends.</p>
<h2>Configuring the Access lists in Facebook Privacy Settings</h2>
<p>Now that we&#8217;ve got all our Access lists created let&#8217;s go to set them up. Click <em>Account</em>, <em>Privacy settings</em>:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step3-privacy-settings.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-671" title="facebook-step3-privacy-settings" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step3-privacy-settings.jpg" alt="" width="292" height="288" /></a><br />
Go through all the sections:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step4-privacy-settings-friends-tags-connections.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-672" title="facebook-step4-privacy-settings-friends-tags-connections" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step4-privacy-settings-friends-tags-connections.jpg" alt="" width="471" height="241" /></a><br />
And in each item select <em>Custom</em>:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step5-privacy-custom-access.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-673" title="facebook-step5-privacy-custom-access" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step5-privacy-custom-access.jpg" alt="" width="477" height="174" /></a><br />
A popup window will show some settings.</p>
<p>In <em>Make this visible to</em> select <em>Custom</em> and select one or more of the Access groups you just created. In the <em>Except</em> select the <em>00 &#8211; NOTHING</em>.</p>
<p>Here are my settings for Mobile phone:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step6-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-674" title="facebook-step6-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step6-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group.jpg" alt="" width="491" height="314" /></a><br />
Another example:<br />
<a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step7-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-668" title="facebook-step7-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group-2" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step7-privacy-custom-access-blocked-group-2.jpg" alt="" width="494" height="309" /></a></p>
<p>Keep doing this for all the settings. Once you finish it should look something like this:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step9-privacy-settings-set-up-correctly.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-675" title="facebook-step9-privacy-settings-set-up-correctly" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step9-privacy-settings-set-up-correctly.jpg" alt="" width="520" height="301" /></a></p>
<h2>Editing Access lists later</h2>
<p>If you need to edit Access lists later you can do that by clicking Friends:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-669" title="facebook-step1-friends-list" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step1-friends-list.jpg" alt="" width="230" height="284" /></a></p>
<p>A list of all the lists will show, select the one you want to edit:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step10-editing-friends-access-lists.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-676" title="facebook-step10-editing-friends-access-lists" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step10-editing-friends-access-lists.jpg" alt="" width="205" height="654" /></a></p>
<p>And then click on Edit list at the top right:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step11-editing-friends-access-lists-2.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-677" title="facebook-step11-editing-friends-access-lists-2" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step11-editing-friends-access-lists-2.jpg" alt="" width="548" height="55" /></a></p>
<p>And select or de-select friends.</p>
<h2>Confirming or adding a new friend</h2>
<p>When confirming a new friend:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-confirming-a-new-friend.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-679" title="facebook-step12-confirming-a-new-friend" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-confirming-a-new-friend.jpg" alt="" width="543" height="161" /></a></p>
<p>An <em>Add to list</em> button will appear, click it and a popup window will show:</p>
<p><a href="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-adding-new-friend-to-lists.jpg"><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-678" title="facebook-step12-adding-new-friend-to-lists" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/facebook-step12-adding-new-friend-to-lists.jpg" alt="" width="472" height="353" /></a></p>
<p>Customize your new friend&#8217;s access to your Facebook stuff. If you don&#8217;t know him/her just select the <em>00 &#8211; NOTHING</em> and he/she won&#8217;t have access to anything.</p>
<h2>The End :)</h2>
<p>That&#8217;s it, hope this helps everyone be more secure online now that Facebook is messing around with their policies.</p>
<p>Feel free to post any suggestions or ideas to improve this.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-700" title="pencils" src="http://xaviesteve.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/pencils.jpg" alt="" width="670" height="243" /></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a check-list of terms that every Web Designer or Developer should know. It&#8217;s not an extensive tutorial with long definitions, just a list to check how much you know. The purpose of this post is basically intended for non-native English speakers that work in English design agencies so some of the words you&#8217;ll see here are really basic (although frequently used while at work).</p>
<p>Some of the definitions are made by me keeping them short and strictly to the point, some are from Wikipedia. The <em>Learn more</em> links to the Wikipedia article or sometimes to another website I found had more accurate information than Wikipedia.</p>
<p><em>(I&#8217;m working on it but published it prematurely since a friend needs it urgently, please search the words not still defined in Google. I&#8217;m also planning on translating the words into Spanish. Any help/feedback or corrections are truly appreciated.)</em></p>
