Here’s a set of links to add your posts to Digg, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Del.icio.us, Facebook, MySpace, Google Bookmarks, Technorati, AddThis, and Reddit– I always end up needing these for themes I’m building, so I thought I’d pass them along!

I just had a colleague shoot me a quick question– he had a flash animated header that he wanted to only show up on the home page, so he wanted to know how he could keep it in the header, but only have it show up on that home page. Without further ado, here’s the code:

<?php if (is_home()) : ?>
<!-- Content to only show on the home page -->
<?php endif; ?>


Quick post– I found a lot of answers to this problem but none that really worked for me…

This will output your latest twitter status, converting any URLs or email addresses to clickable links:

function get_status($twitterid) {
$xml = @simplexml_load_file('http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/'.$twitterid.'.xml?count=1');
if($xml->status) {
foreach($xml->status as $status){
$text = $status->text;
$text = html_entity_decode($text);
$text = " ".$text;
$text = eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tp://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',
'<a href="\\1" target=_blank>\\1</a>', $text);
$text = eregi_replace('(((f|ht){1}tps://)[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',
'<a href="\\1" target=_blank>\\1</a>', $text);
$text = eregi_replace('([[:space:]()[{}])(www.[-a-zA-Z0-9@:%_\+.~#?&//=]+)',
'\\1<a href="http://\\2" target=_blank>\\2</a>', $text);
$text = eregi_replace('([_\.0-9a-z-]+@([0-9a-z][0-9a-z-]+\.)+[a-z]{2,3})',
'<a href="mailto:\\1" target=_blank>\\1</a>', $text);
$text .= "<h4>Posted from $status->source</h4>";
}} else {
return 'Trouble in Twittersville, API not loading, sorry!';
}
return $text;
}


Then, to call it, just use this function:


get_status('YOUR_TWITTER_ID');


with your numerical Twitter ID in the obvious spot. You can find your Twitter ID by looking at the URL for your Twitter RSS feed, which will be:

http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/YOUR_TWITTER_ID.rss
