The Blip.tv Admin Menu plugin for WordPress allows you to upload, edit and delete videos from your Blip.tv account right from the Admin panel of your WordPress site. Get the plugin: WordPress Plugin Site Download RWSDevBlip Directly This plugin was derived from the blipPHP library originally written by Almog Baku and updated by me. While updating the library I noticed the definite lack of any plugins relating to the Blip.tv API and felt this could be useful for someone.

Updated PHP Library for Blip.tv – Blip-PHP
I currently have a client that needed to interface with Blip.tv through their API. On Blip’s site the only reference to a php library is one written by Almog Baku. After downloading the library and trying to get it working, I realized that commits on the library were from 2010. Blip updated their API in 2011 so this was a no go.

Prior to today, we had been using “Pagelines” for developing some of our wordpress themes including this site… Today we installed Thesis from diythemes.com. I must admit, what took me a day and a half to create in Pagelines took me 2 hours using Thesis. Thesis is highly customizable, feature rich and easy to use. Now the RWSDev Team is not afraid to hack away at the code and css of a wordpress site, but I was surprised at how very little of that I had to do in order to recreate our theme using Thesis. Some of the features...

The RWS Dev Team has put together an app and user management class to make creating an app on facebook using their PHP SDK 3.1.1 a world easier! When the RWSDev Team started working with the facebook PHP SDK 3.1.1 we ran into a few problems and once we got those ironed out we decided we should create an app class that would assist others to hopefully avoid a majority of those problems. What this class does: app.inc – stores your basic configuration info for your facebook app like the App Id, App Secret, Base URL and your App Base...
