Fuzzy Nation Super Model Facebook Photo Contest
The Fuzzy Nation Super Model Contest is ON! I’m so proud of the effort to bring this contest to life on Facebook. From July 11-August 1, you could enter your adoption story and photo on Fuzzy Nation’s Facebook page. Fifty finalists were chosen among over two thousand entries. Fuzzy Nation’s fanbase soared from 2,000 to over 7,000 in the entry phase; and just two days into the voting round on the 50 finalists, they have broken the 10,000 fan mark. You can vote once a day until August 21! Head on over and vote for your favorite story or local shelter to win $10,000! And if you are looking for a custom Facebook photo contest for your own project, please contact me!

Bluehost and ExpressionEngine URL Rewriting
.htaccess URL rewriting in ExpressionEngine suddenly stop with Bluehost PHP upgrade? Try this line in your php.ini file:
cgi.fix_pathinfo=Off
VOILA.

Coming this Summer: Facebook Contest {Facebook Mini-Site}
I’ve been taking a break from my usual ExpressionEngine work to develop a Facebook app-contest for some wonderful folks. Sssshhh, sneak preview. The contest is hidden behind a Like-Gate and will have viral voting after an entry submission period in July. More on this later this summer ...

When .htaccess clashes with http auth
removing index.php from expressionengine urls, take II. This time, a client need http auth on a file in their x-cart payment directory. While x-cart and expressionengine coexist nicely, the top-level .htaccess that rewrites index.php out of the urls was clashing with http auth. In this case, a simple addition to .htaccess before the rewrite rule (exclude method, d’oh, more on that later) allowed the http auth to function (prior, it was essentially throwing a 401):
RewriteCond $1 !^(401.shtml)
carry on.
