How-To Bypass Egypt Block for Facebook & Twitter
I've Created a FREE VPN Server for ALL Egyptians to bypass Internet Blockage in Egypt and to "Empower The Revolution" of #Jan25
This (Virtual Private Network) VPN Connect creates an Unblockable and Secure Connection to our Server in USA to bypass ALL Internet Blockage in Egypt (Example: Facebook, Twitter and Dostor).

Update 1: Egypt Revolution 2.0 Completed Successfully. "FreeEgypt" Public User now Canceled.We are planing to convert it to a Commercial Premium Service with very low cost.

You can easily request this Free Account by sending an E-Mail to: vpn [at] texnomic.com

Facebook Device Notifications for Account Security
I was playing around with my Facebook settings today and I found a great new feature called Account Security under Account Settings. This new and unknown Facebook feature provides a way to monitor your account logins from any Computers or Mobile Devices.
Facebook Account Security
This feature works by Registering every Computer or Mobile Device when you use for the first time. Facebook knows your devices by saving a Cookie inside your browser so when you login again, Facebook will know this is your Computer.

Adding Facebook “Like” Social Plugin to WordPress
Like Button
Facebook announced on it's F8 Developer Conference (April 22, 2010) a new set of extensions to its Platform. One of the most simple and elegant additions is the Facebook Like Social Plugin. It took me an hour or so to customize it to WordPress Theme and make it fully automated, it only takes two steps:
1. Adding Meta Property in Header:
Inside your Theme folder, open the Header.php file then add the following lines:
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php the_title(); ?>" /> <meta property="og:site_name" content="Your Blog Name" /> <meta property="og:url" content="<?php the_permalink() ?>" />
2. Adding iFrame in Index and Single Pages:
Inside your Theme folder, open the Index.php and Single.php files then add the following lines inside the Post code area:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php the_permalink() ?>";layout=standard;show_faces=false;width=450;action=like;colorscheme=light" width="450" height="25" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true"> </iframe>
Note: Facebook default iFrame Code is having a huge Height, I've fixed it in this code.
Well, That's it. Here is the final result:
