Change Default Thumbnail Size in Wordpress »

In Wordpress 2.3, you can change the default thumbnail size by editing the following code.
Open /wp-admin/includes/image.php and look for the following code:
$max_side = apply_filters( ‘wp_thumbnail_max_side_length’,

Publish Your Own Cookbook »

I see a lot of interesting business ideas in what is most recently dubbed “the new economy”, the web2.0 era. “The new economy” is not a new term at all, by the way. It is a consistantly recycled term meaning whatever is new in the economy.
