Thank you 500000!

This is a special day for our little project! The Really Simple Share plugin just reached 500,000 downloads; at the same time our Really Simple Twitter Widget plugin reached 100,000 downloads.

FileZilla show hidden files

How to show .htaccess and hidden files in FTP: FileZilla etc.

We had some issues on some websites, so we had to modify some rules in the .htaccess file. Unfortunately, none of the programs we use on windows for ftp connection shows by default this and other hidden files, e.g. the files whose filenames starts with a dot, according to the Linux/Unix convention.
