Step 1- Open up a text editor (such as Notepad or cPanel’s File Manager) and add in the lines you need and save the file.

Step 2- Using the cPanel’s File Manager or your FTP client you will need to upload the file to the location you need it. This is usually inside of your public_html folder.

Step 3- Rename the file to php.ini, and save. To protect the php.ini file, you can add these lines to your .htaccess file:

<Files php.ini>

order allow,deny

deny from all

</Files>

This way, it can not be displayed when somebody types in the file path into their browser.

Step 4- Also, in the .htaccess file, you will need to add the following line:

suPHP_ConfigPath /home/username/public_html

Replace username with your actual cPanel user name. This will tell your account where your php.ini file exists.

This list includes the php.ini directives you can set to configure your PHP setup:

Friendly Reminder: Adjusting the memory limit on the shared hosting plans is not suggested. Since you are on a shared hosting platform, your memory limits are pre-determined by the server you are hosting on, and trying to use more memory than you have assigned to you will cause you issues in the future.

Minecraft, simply put, is a game where you go around building things for fun. If you want to go out and build a 400 foot monument to yourself, go for it.  If you want to go dig a house out of a mountain, you can do that too.  From what I have seen there really is no right or wrong way to play the game. You pretty much sit down, figure out your goal and do it.

At the core of the game, you gather resources to make things.  For example, when you start out – you can go punch a tree down.  Yes, this is as awesome as it sounds. You can then gather the pieces of wood to craft something else. You might make a crafting table, so then you can create a pick axe.  With the pick axe, you can start mining for coal to make your torches.  Then you can build a shovel to dig faster in the dirt.  Before you know it, you will have an entire fort built for yourself with animals randomly spawning in your second floor (as you can see from the picture above). 

You can download this amazing little game and play it again and again for only about $20 or so (technically, If you pre-purchase now during beta, you pay  €14.95!)  My entire Sunday was lost in Minecraft and I am sure more productivity will go down the drain soon.  How else will I finish my 200 foot tall stone badger monument?

Would you like to get Facebook and Twitter messages in a much more familiar format?  Paper.li will let you read your favorite Twitter tweets and Facebook messages like a daily newspaper.  It totally organizes all the incoming messages (from people you select) into a format that is much easier to read for some.

Once you log into the website with either your Facebook or Twitter login information – you can decide how you want to create your newspaper.  For example, when I logged into the service with Twitter I had the options to create a newspaper based on a Twitter user, a Twitter tag or a Twitter list.

Another great feature of Paper.li is the ability to share your newspaper with others.  You can discover many great sources of news right from the Paper.li front page that will give you interesting links and stories from sources you may have never even known about.

Want to see an example?  Here is the newspaper I made from my list of web hosting related Twitter accounts I had listed on Twitter.

• The Webhosts Daily

I really like Paper.li as a resource for information and for organizing information in a much more readable way.  You can go check it out for yourself over at Paper.li.

Want to create your own Facebook Fan page for yourself, your business or your website?  It is easy to do – if you know the right places to look.  I recently created one to help promote my various projects, and now I want to help you do the same.  This is my guide on how to setup and create a Facebook Fan Page.

Getting Started with the Facebook Fan Page

If you have never created a Facebook Fan Page before, the place you want to start Facebook Pages.  Once there, click the “Create Page” button in the upper right hand corner of the web page.

Basic Facebook Fan Page Information Help

Next, you can choose to create an official page or a community page.  Official pages are controlled by one (or a team) of people on your end and is the route you will probably take.  The community pages are more for a cause or an idea, like the “I Love Toast!” fan page.  The scary thing is, that might exist.

Depending on what your Facebook Fan Page will be about, you will need to select:

• Local Business
• Brand, Product or Organization
• Artist, Band or Public Figure

Then in the drop down box, you will choose another classification for yourself.  For example, you could select that you are a Brand, Product or Organization and then choose Website.  This just helps Facebook organize your placement and also will help others find your Facebook Fan Page within Facebook itself.

Naming Your Facebook Fan Page

Type your page name in next.  Keep it short, descriptive and to the point.  Click the check mark box saying that you are an official representative and blah blah blah, then click the “Create Official Page” button.  Your new Facebook Fan Page has been created.  Now you can go in there, and start customizing it, inviting friends and more.  I will touch on that topic another day.

Hope this helps you when it comes to creating your own Facebook Fan Page.  Remember, you are all invited to come join my own Facebook Fan Page I created for all my various projects.  Come join in on the fun at Mitch’s Projects on Facebook for more Mitch-like goodness.

Well, you could spend a lot of money for a program like Photoshop, take hours learning how to create custom banners, fonts and designs, or you could just go to magcover.com.  I’ll let you pick how you would like to spend your Christmas week.

How does it work? With this web site, you can easily create your own unique magazine cover.  All you do is pick your photo, edit your headlines and you are ready to go.  There are over 100 magazine templates to choose from – so the only thing limiting you is your imagination.

You can also get your custom magazine covers printed, framed or put on a shirt.  Might be too late to create one for Christmas this year – but might come in handy for your egotistical friend’s birthday.  To create your own magazine cover, go visit magcover.com.

RSS feeds are extremely handy when it comes to keeping up with the latest and greatest updates from a web site. However, even today, there are still some web sites that are feed-less.  To help you track those web sites out there, we have RSSA, Really Simply Syndicate Anything.

All you do is enter the web site URL into the text box, and hit submit.  You will then be given several options on which content you would like to grab. This web site also comes in handy if you don’t know how to create a feed – but you think you need one for your visitors. 

Check out the many more reasons on why you should create  a feed, and then get started with this online tool today.

You can make two different styles of icons.  One is based around the CS3 look and feel and the other is your basic Web 2.0 style star badge.

To save your simple creation, just use the “Create icon” button, and you are good to go.  This is perfect for any webmaster who has been looking for a quick and easy way to make some stylish graphics for the web site they are working on.

You can pickup the Clockmaker Icon Generator on the Adobe Marketplace web site.

PlayCrafter

This web site is pretty complicated when it comes to the number of things going on, on the screen – however it does have a lot of tools to use to create your own games (or play the games others have created).  You can either start from scratch or go with one of the templates they provide, such as action game, golf game, ninja game, jumping game and more.

Sploder

With Sploder, you are given the option of creating either a platformer game or a shooter game.  Also giving you the options of sharing your creation, I liked Sploder because it was a little more on the simple side.  So, if you want to show this off to a kid – it might be a lot easier for them to wrap their minds around. 

Mockingbird

Mockingbird is the last pick on my list.  They too give you a lot to work with, but instead of simply building one kind of game – they offer several kits (or the ability to build your own kit) with programmable sounds, actions and more.  If you wanted to get somebody into the mindset of programming a game – this would be the one I would have them play with.  Why?  Well, with having to set, for example, a bomb to be able to jump and assign the farting noise when he does so – gives a much better cause and effect result I think anybody from any age group could understand.

Although none of these games will have you programming your own games, each site delivers a unique way of getting a younger child, nephew, or sibling interested in the idea of game development.
