Besides the many symptoms that can cause Server Error 0; another likely one occurs when you use semicolons instead of commas to separate your category names. This causes the category to be read as one giant category, forcing a truncation at the server level.  There is an easy fix. Copy the category names into notepad, hit CTRL+H to do a Replace, and change the semicolons to commas.

Do you know Guy Burstein (you may know him from the recent Slingalibi publicity stint, although not quite as famous as my colleague Policeman #2 )? Well you will now.  Guy has written a Facebook LiveWriter plug-in which allows you to see the Facebook photos of who has “liked” your post. You can download this plug in from his blog, and hopefully soon from the Live Gallery – (you on that Guy?)

Have you ever wondered how people have configured their Instant Messenger settings in Windows Live Messenger to show their tweets and blog posts?   If you ever examined the lower bottom panel of your Messenger, you may have seen the “What’s New” component which constantly refreshes with notifications about social networking activities  your friends and colleagues have taken lately.
