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:

• http://us2.php.net/manual/en/ini.list.php

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.

Facebook is more than just a social network where you can waste your time with virtual farm animals.  It is yet another social destination on the web that you should establish yourself on, so that people who care about your website, your products, or just you can learn more.  Facebook gives people several confusing routes to go when it comes to establishing any brand on their website though – so let me see if I can cut through the questions, and tell you the right direction to take your marketing on Facebook.

Facebook Profiles, Groups and Fan Pages

Facebook has three different kinds of pages that people can setup.  You have Facebook profiles, which are often used for personal profiles.  You have groups that are there for bigger causes and group activities.  Last but not least, you have fan pages – which are there to put your products on a pedestal and let people keep up with what is going on with them via Facebook.

More times than not, I would suggest that you market yourself through a Facebook fan page.

How to Setup a Facebook Fan Page

We have detailed the steps needed for starting up a Facebook Fan Page in previous articles.  You can check out my guide on how to create a Facebook fan page for more information on the exact steps. Make sure though that you put some thought in who and what you are promoting.

• If you are promoting your books, you might create a fan page per book – or a fan page for all the books
• If you are promoting your website, you might create the fan page about your entire website, or the part of the website that is the most popular

No matter which way you go, you have to ask yourself if this is something you will be able to sustain too.  People will be looking for updates early and often, so if you can not come up with something to share with those people who are your fans, maybe you need to broaden your topic a ‘bit more.

What Should You Post on Your Facebook Fan Page?

Once your Facebook fan page is setup, you can start making a strategy on how you will use it to get the word out about what it is you are putting out there.  To start out, you might setup a calendar to make weekly updates on what you are doing, that people would be interested in.  For example, if you are running a shoe store Facebook fan page, every Tuesday you might tell people about that week’s big sale on sneakers.  This way people start to say to themselves, “Hey, every Tuesday I’m going to check out that Facebook fan page – because I do need a new pair of shoes”.  No matter I you are selling shoes, promoting your recent blog post, or anything else, you have to remember that your number one job is to answer the public’s needs.

Do not just be another product, service or resource out there.  You need to be the solution to go to.

Need some inspiration? Here are a few topic ideas for you to try on your own Facebook fan page:

• Ask a question – Find something that your fan page members have in common, and ask about it. This helps inspire socialization on your Facebook fan page.
• Give advice – Give a solution to a problem that your fan page users might have.  If you sell doorknobs, then you might post a link to a website that shares doorknob shining tips.
• Get some help – Ask for your fan page members to help you with something concerning your business. For example, if you are a web designer, you might post two designs and then ask the public which one they like more and why.

Also remember,  you do not want to go overboard with updates or plugs back to your products.  Start out with regular posts that are few and far between.  As your Facebook fan page gets more users – you can do more weekly to engage those users even more.

In conclusion, you need to become an irreplaceable resource on what it is you do. It won’t happen overnight, but as time moves on and you slowly start to get more and more users – people will start to respect you as the source for what it is you are marketing to them, and will hopefully tell others to come check you out.  Facebook Fan pages are a wonderful way to extend your business, your brand or yourself to an entirely new audience.

Have Facebook fan page questions? Leave them in the comments! I would be happy to help cover any other concerns you might have on Facebook marketing.

So we know the Pirates in Fat Princess dance a little jig, and do say, “Arr!” in a really cute way. How do you really play at the Fat Princess pirate?  Hopefully, this guide will help you out in that department.

As with the giants and the ninjas; to play as the pirate, you must pick up the special purple hat from inside your base or from within the base of the opposing team.  When you hit triangle, on your controller, you can keep rotating till you see your Fat Princess character dressed in his finest pirate costume.  The pirate class has six hearts for health and moves at a medium pace.  You might not get to upgrade this class, but you do get to send a cannon ball flying down from the sky onto whatever or whomever you target.

Attacking with the Pirate’s Sword – The pirate class’s sword is kind of like the warrior’s basic sword.  As you double tap on the attack button, you will hack and slash in close combat.  However, you might elect to use the Pirate’s charged hand gun attack more times than not.  The Cutlass sword is really only for close combat emergencies.

Attacking with the Pirate’s Hand Gun – The hand gun (or Flintlock, or pistol) is your charged attack option as the pirate.  If you hold down the attack button, you can charge the shot up.  Then just target somebody on the other team and take aim.  It is quick to recharge, however is not as accurate as other ranged weapons or attacks in the game.

Make Them Walk the Plank

The best part about playing as a pirate is using the pirate’s special move.  The cannon barrage is the special attack for the pirate class.  When you hit triangle (after your special meter has fully charged) you can select where the cannon ball will come crashing down at.  The damage done to other players is around three to four hearts – so this attack is a very powerful one if you learn how to do it right (which really just takes practice and aim).

More Pirate Class Tips and Tricks

Still lost?  Here are a few more Fat Princess pirate tips that should help you along in the game.

• Right before the pirate launches his special attack (cannon barrage) you can hear him yell, “ARRRRG!”.  This is your clue to get the heck away from any pirates you see near.
• There are several pirate versus ninja PS3 trophies to get, if you really want to master your pirating techniques.  Annihilate 20 ninjas, kill 200 enemies as a pirate, obliterate 100 enemies with the Pirate’s cannon balls.
• Make sure when you attack with the pirate’s special move you don’t accidently take out your own teammates.  I’ve seen a number of games where an accidental cannon ball has become as commonplace as an accidental bomb or chicken potion.

I hope that helps you out the next time you decide to play a game of Fat Princess.  The pirates are really fun to play as in the land of Titania.  The cannon barrage makes them really handy at keeping the enemies doors down, when you are in a pinch, too.  Have any more tips to share?  Make sure to leave them in the comments!

We had seen concept art for ninjas and pirates, but how do you storm the enemies’ castle with a giant?

To become the giant in Fat Princess, you must pick up the special purple hat from inside your base or inside the base of the opposing team.  You then hit the triangle button until you see that you are the giant.  Like the pirate and the ninja, the Giant has six hearts for health, but moves really slowly.  Rather than being able to switch to an upgraded class, the giant gets the special attack of being able to eat somebody from the opposing team.

Attacking with the Giant – The giant has no real weapons, other than his fists.  I am sure there is a Chuck Norris joke in there somewhere.  You can target somebody and rapidly hit the attack button to slap and punch them into submission.

Giant Earthquake – When the giant’s attack is fully charged, he will pound the ground multiple times, causing small earthquakes for anybody next to him.  It will do some big damage if you can wack a few people on the opposite team with it, once you unleash the charged attack.

Eating the Competition

Since the giant can not heal by sitting down and eating cake, your special attack lets you eat a player from the opposing team. Once your special attack is fully charged, just go up to the enemy and press triangle.

More Giant Class Tips and Tricks

From the online battles of Fat Princess I’ve been in, it seems like the Giant class has gotten a lot of love.  Not one games goes by when I don’t see a couple of Giants defending the princess or an outpost.  Here are a few more giant tips to help you along the way.

• Don’t go on your own.  The giant is slow, so he is easily taken out.
• The giant makes a great defense class for keeping either princess guarded as the clock ticks down.
• If you are about to go as a group to rescue the princess, put a giant in front and let him bulldoze his way though anybody from the other side that gets in your way.

I hope my advice here comes in handy when it comes to battling as the Giant in Fat Princess.  I am really happy with this “surprise” class Atomic Operations has developed.  The Giant class really is becoming one of my favorite classes to play with.

To become a ninja in Fat Princess, you must pick up a special purple hat from within your castle, and then press the triangle button until you see you are a ninja.  The ninja has six hearts for health, and moves about as quick as the Ranger class.  Rather than the ability to upgrade hats, the ninja gets a special move in which he can turn invisible for eight to ten seconds and walk through the opponents’ castle doors.  This gives you a real advantage when it comes to grabbing the princess without being seen.

Attacking with the Ninja’s Sword – By rapidly hitting the attack button, you can make your ninja swing his ninja sword (aka katana) to attack. This is a great way to fight people when you’re in close quarters with them.  It strikes a little faster than the warrior’s sword, in my opinion.

Attacking with the Ninja’s Stars – When you hold down the attack button to charge it up, your ninja will throw stars (aka shurikens) at whomever you are targeting on the opposite team.  He will throw one star if the attack is charged 1/4th of the way, two if it is charged half way, three if it is charged 3/4ths of the way, and four if it is charged all the way up.

Turning Invisible with the Ninja

Your special move, as I touched upon before is the ability to turn invisible for eight to ten seconds once your special bar has filled all the way up.  Sneaking through the castle walls is not the only thing you can do as the invisible ninja though.  You can also try to sneak attack your opponents too.  If you attack them, while invisible, then you do three hearts worth of damage overall. However, be careful when trying to attack because once you hit the attack button, or enter an outpost, your invisibility is gone.

More Ninja Class Tips and Tricks

Here are a few more things you should remember when playing as the Ninja class in Fat Princess:

• You can set your weapons on fire to do greater damage by walking by a lit piece of wood or a torch on the battlefield.
• When you are invisible, both sides can still see your actual location if they check the map.
• Every so often, when the ninja dies he will pull out his sword and fall on it.  Something to keep an eye out for.

I hope you enjoy this guide to playing as the Ninja class in Fat Princess, for the PlayStation 3.  Even though the ninja started as a concept idea that was never really suppose to see the light of day, I am really happy with how Atomic Operations were able to make it into a very fun class of character to play with in the game.

Due to the fact that there is no villager hat machine, since the villager is who you start out as, let me talk about playing as a villager in both defensive and offensive roles.

Defensive Villager

Playing with the villager on defense, might not be the smartest idea.  He only has two hearts of health, and not much of any attack.  However, if you are in a pinch, you can use the villager’s slap attack as a way to get somebody to drop a princess.  I have played many games where I would just keep slapping the princess out of the other team’s hands just to keep them occupied till my other teammates arrived.  The number of slaps it takes to get somebody to drop a princess also seems to vary depending on what angle you hit them from (from the front, back, or sides).

Offensive Villager

When you are playing on offense, you can use the same slapping technique (by rapidly hitting the attack button) too.  The villager’s best offensive feature is its speed.  The villager class is the fastest one when it comes to carrying the princess back to your side.  Often, when a game starts you will see three or four villagers run across to try to get into the other team’s castle or fort before the doors are built to quickly grab the princess and get out while nobody is looking.

Here’s a great video to show you how effective this can be at times:

More Villager Class Tips and Tricks

Here are a few other tips to remember when playing as the villager in Fat Princess:

• Use the villager to harvest wood and ore that the worker has chopped to get more resources, faster.
• Although it is a ‘bit suicidal, you can always grab a bomb as a villager, light it and then look for the biggest mob of players from the other side to run into.
• Get the “Don’t Make Me Slap You!” trophy by slapping 20 objects out of the enemy’s hands in online games.
• Run and grab cake as the villager to get your princess fatter a lot faster.

Hope that helps you out the next time you play as the villager class in Fat Princess.  The thing to remember is they are not as useless as you might of thought.  There are a lot of good situations where having a villager coming along does come in handy.

Warriors have six hearts for health, and are fairly slow, compared to somebody like the standard villager that you start off as. If you want to get up close and personal in your PSN battles on Fat Princess, the warrior hat is the one to pick up.

Level One – Sword and Shield

When you pick up a warrior class hat before that hat machine is upgraded, your warrior will come equipped with a sword and shield.  The shield is helpful for blocking attacks or projectiles being thrown your way.  By tapping the attack button you can have your little warrior hack and slash his way through an opponent.  When you charge the attack (by holding down the attack button for a few seconds) then you get a spinning attack that reminds me somewhat of Link from the Legend of Zelda.

Level Two – Pull Out the Glaive

Once your warrior class hat machine has been upgraded, you get access to the upgraded warrior.  In this form, the warrior trades his sword and shield for a glaive.  When the warrior has the glaive, he can do the standard hack and slash like you did with your sword by tapping the attack button.  When you charge the glaive attack though (by holding down the attack button for a few seconds) you can execute a two-strike combo.  The warrior will rush the opponent at a very fast speed with one attack, then will execute a final swing attack as he jump down at the opponent.

More Warrior Class Tips and Tricks

Need more help when going into battle as the Warrior in Fat Princess?  Here are a few more tips to help you survive.

• By using your charged glaive attack, you can move across the map at a faster rate.
• Keep your eye out for gaps, water or lava you can dash over by jumping and then performing the warrior’s charged glaive attack.
• You can light your sword (level one warrior) or your glaive (level two warrior) with torches or burning wood found in the various locations on the map.
• Practice blocking attacks with the warrior’s shield.  Once you block 100 projectiles in online games – you will get the This is Caketown! trophy.

Warriors, by far, might be the most powerful class in the Fat Princess game.  However, it should be remembered that the best attempts at grabbing the princess should be done in a group.  While the warrior is a good one to pick up the princess, you want a mage freezing people, a priest healing you and well, let us just say it never hurts to have some backup.

Ready to battle as giants, ninjas and pirates?  The PlayStation Network game Fat Princess finally got its first slice of downloadable content, and I do have to say it has made the game a whole lot more fun.   Fat Princess: Fat Roles is out and is a lot of fun.

I will do a quick breakdown on each new class, and what is there to love.

Also worth mentioning is the fact that each new class can not press triangle to change from level one to level two of a class.  This has been replaced with a special move that is unique to that specific class.

Review of the New Fat Princess Classes

Ninja – The ninja come packed with ninja stars, a sword and a lot of fun.  Also, as a nice little touch – when a ninja dies, he falls on his own sword.  Also, you can get sneaky by turning invisible, walk through the other team’s castle doors, and pickup the princess.

• Regular Attack: Sword
• Charged Attack: Throws Ninja Stars
• Special: Turns Invisible for a few seconds or until another action button is pushed

Pirate – Cannon balls are a flying with this new class.  With a special that launches a cannon ball attack at your opponents, the Pirate might be the most powerful of the new classes launch into Fat Roles.

• Regular Attack: Sword
• Charged Attack: Shoots handgun
• Special: Bombard the map with a cannon ball attack

Giant – I might have had the most fun playing as the giant class.  There is strangely rewarding about charging up your attack and then bulldozing through a bunch of people that are storming towards your castle.  Plus, as your special – you get to eat people on the opposing team.  How does that not scream out awesomeness?

• Regular Attack: Giant Slap
• Charged Attack: Slaps the ground taking out anything in its path
• Special: Eat Somebody on the Other Team to Gain Health

How to Play as Giants, Pirates and Ninjas in Fat Princess

To play as one of these new classes, look for the special magic hat machine inside of your base.  They spawn slowly at first, but the more machines you get upgraded – the faster the special hats will appear.

The only negatives to the updates posted yesterday that I could find thus far is it does seem you get dropped from games more often and they took away some of the unique jumps in the game.

If you haven’t yet – I would highly recommend buying Fat Princess and the Fat Roles DLC for a fun time on your PS3.

Rangers have five hearts for health, and are a little faster than the Warrior class and a little slower than the Worker class.  In most cases, you will want to use your ranger to defend in battle – rather than attack.

Level One – All Bows and Arrows

As with the other classes, you can turn into a ranger by grabbing the ranger hat.  Before the hat machine is upgraded, you will have a bow and arrows to fight with.  You can choose to quickly spam arrows out at any opponents out on the screen or charge your arrow for a more powerful shot.

Level Two – Bringing Out the Big Gun

Once that hat machine has been upgraded, you get access to the upgraded Ranger class.  That gives you access to the ranger’s blunderbuss (aka “gun”) attack.  The gun works in the same way your bow and arrow attacks did, but is a little stronger.  The downside though is, it takes a little longer to charge up too.  You can choose to hunt down your opponents shot by shot or charge your attack and get some added firepower added to finish the opponent off early.

More Ranger Class Tips and Tricks

Want more Ranger help?  Here are a few more tips to help you survive as the Ranger class in Fat Princess.

• Once the Ranger hat machine has been upgraded, any posts or lanterns inside your castle or around your base will be lit up.  This is handy to light your arrows or the end of your gun on fire to do more damage.
• Flaming wood can also be used to ignite your weapons, when you are too far away from any torches.
• Most of the time, it is best to stay out of direct combat with the Ranger class.  Try to keep your distance when attacking or hide behind trees, on top of outposts or anywhere else you can get the advantage.
• Your gun attack is affected by how far away you are from the person you are shooting at.  The closer you are, the more damage is done.  However, due to the long charging time between shots – might be best to keep a medium distance away from the person you are shooting at.

All in all, the Ranger serves the purpose of being a good backup to any storming of the gates you might do – or for defense.  He does not do too well by himself, but team him up with a few other players and he is one of the better support classes out there.

Priests may only have four hearts for health, but they can also drain life to replenish themselves once your priest hat machine has been upgraded. We will talk more about the dark priest later though.  The priest class in Fat Princess has two stages to master too.  Before you upgrade the hat machine, they are white priests ready to heal you.  Once the priest hat machine has been upgraded though they get nasty with the ability to curse or drain the opposing team.

Level One – Healing the Party

The level one, or white priest, has an important part to play in any game.  Rather than making your teammates sit down and eat cake to refill their health, you can use your staff to get them healed up one by one or with a charged area heal.  The targeted heal is good if you are just with one or two people, and the area heal gets stronger the longer you hold down the charge button (until it has reached it’s fully charged status).  When playing as the priest, do what you can to stay out of battle. The longer you can stay alive, the longer those you are healing will stay alive too.

Level Two – Curse Them All!

Once the priest hat machine is upgraded, you get to play the role of the dark priest.  Where the white priest has a targeted healing power and an area heal, the dark priest has a targeted draining power and an area curse.  Using the dark priest to defend around the princess in the dungeon is a pretty good strategy.  With one or two dark priests, you can easily drain the opposing team – player by player as they come in one by one.  When in a large group of people on the opposing team, try using the area curse.  This will keep enemies from being able to target others, and makes their movement become really erratic.  The longer you charge the area curse, the longer these effects last.

More Priest Class Tips and Tricks

Here are a few more things to remember when you are playing as a priest in Fat Princess:

• You can use the right analogue stick to switch target when you are draining life or healing somebody.
• Since the white priest’s area heal charges faster, try charging it first and then switch your class to charge area curses faster.
• Try to do your best to stay out of the battle, but close enough to keep your teammates healed up.
• When draining life from somebody as the dark priest, finish them off by wacking them with your staff.

So if you are looking for a good way to help out the team, the priest is always a good hat to pickup.  Remember that support those who are trying to grab the princess is just as important as grabbing the princess itself.  The more support there is, the more likely you will be able to get her out of their castle and back on her fatty throne.
