Facebook Graph API is nightmare for lot of guys(including me). I want to update my own Facebook status without using any Graph API authorization & authentication process. Is it possible? I searched a lot & couldn't find any ways to do that in super simple method. By accident, while I am checking mobile version of famous websites, I found a facebook url "http://www.facebook.com/mobile/" which opened a magical door to update facebook status message without doing any Graph API interaction. Actual facebook mobile url is, "http://m.facebook.com/".
Once you logged in to your facebook account, go to "http://www.facebook.com/mobile/" page, you can get personalized email account for your Facebook login. Using that email ID. Using this personalized email, you can post status updates or send photos and videos straight to your facebook profile. It is too simple.

Whenever I need to integrate any third party API in my ColdFusion projects, the first thing I will go to RIAForge & I can find wrapper CFCs. RIAForge is open source hosting site for Adobe technologies. But unfortunately there was no wrapper CFC for Google blogger API while I need to integrate blogger API in one of my project. So I created ColdFusion wrapper CFC for Google Blogger API service, for my project. I thought, If I post this in RIAForge, it may help someone. So I have posted it as open source in RiaForge as well as in github. In this CFC, Google authentication code and few API call syntax are taken from http://cfgoogle.riaforge.org & http://youtubecfc.riaforge.org. Thanks a lot to Ray(ColdFusion Jedi).
Using this wrapper CFC, you can do following tasks,
Get your blog list
Get list of all posts for a blog
Create a new or drafted post
Update a post
Delete a post
Get list of all comments for a blog post
Add a comment to a blog post
Delete a comment in a post
In future, I will add cfscript based version of bloggerCFC for cfscript fan boys. If you have any issues or need any enhancements on this CFC, please enter it in RiaForge issue tracker.

As you must know that Galleon
forum using Markitup
editor to create HTML formatted posts. Markitup is a jQuery based easily
configuarable editor. It has "link to image" functionlity which used to
add URL of a image to show that image in the post. But it doesn't have
facility to upload a file to server or browse a file which is already
uploaded by that user. I thought, it is good idea to create a plugin to
do the same.
UI mockup for the file upload is

Once the user uploaded a file or clik on browse
button in markitup menu
bar, a popup browse div will showed to the user to select their uploaded
image. I made browse window as draggable using jQuery UI.Browse
uploaded files interface,
