Instead of using DownThemAll and then ftping, sometimes you need to leech directly to your web host.
The perfect tool for this is wget.
Here's how to use wget to download all the zip files linked to from a given web page:
wget -A.zip -e robots=off -E -H -p -Dexample.com --random-wait -r -l inf http://www.example.com/great-files.php
The command above looks for all the links to .zip files found on the page http://www.example.com/great-files.php.
You can ignore most of the options apart from -A (file type).
-D is used to tell wget not to download files from external links, so it will only download .zip files with a path on example.com

Fixing Issues With The Wordpress Super Cache Plugin
In theory WP Super Cache is an awesome plugin, and used to work great. Since about version 0.84 I started to have problems on all of my sites. Basically it got 'stuck' and stopped caching and deleting expired cache files. This caused a bunch of cached files to remain cached indefinitely! Not great when showing live auction results.
Today I found a solution which seems to work from Quick Online Tips. It involves manually deleting the cache contents and the plugin, and then deactivating and reactivating it. Only takes a minute per blog, and seems to have fixed my issues so far!

The Best Online Hex Color Chart I've Found
Since I don't have a printed reference, and I'm not much of a Photoshop user, I am always looking up hex colours online.
I used to always use visibone but the other day I found this page: Hex Hub HTML Color Codes: Hexadecimal codes for named colors used in HTML page features from december.com. It has every colour you need while CSS hacking!
Enjoy....

10 Highly Useful Wordpress Tips
I was searching for the Wordpress category RSS URL, and I found this post from Jean-Baptiste Jung called 10 Useful RSS-Tricks and Hacks For WordPress
It contains a great list of useful bits of code you can add/change in Wordpress to accomplish some useful tweaks on this great Blogging/CMS tool (yes I know it isn't strictly a CMS, but with some clever tagging, categorising and template hacking it really can be).
In related news, Wordpress 2.7 out today! Installed it on my company blog and am very impressed. The important changes are in the admin really - nothing is hard to find and navigating around is much quicker. There are some new features around comments and bulk editing posts which I'm yet to try it. Install it now.
