I see that this question has come up once or twice to support, it's a quick answer so thought I'd post it here.
In an out of the box deployment of Connections, you will not be able to embed content such as Youtube
videos in a blog or elsewhere in Connections. If you try, you'll see that the preview looks good but when
you come to making the actual post, the video is not shown.
The reason for this is the active content filter which is enabled on all features. All user generated content
is run through through this and any content deemed to be a potential risk is removed. If you want to allow
the posting of content like this to a Blog, the ACF filter will need to be switched off. Of course, doing this leaves
you slightly more exposed from a security point of view. The InfoCenter deals with the potential risks involved
and how you can mitigate them. If you undertake this change, you are doing so at your own risk!
To disable the ACF filter for the Blogs application for example, here are your commands after opening a wsadmin
console. You'll have to restart the application server running Blogs to see the effect.
execfile("blogsAdmin.py")
BlogsConfigService.updateConfig("ACFEnabled", "false")
Although Blogs is the obvious place for this type of content to be posted, the option to disable the ACF filter also
applies to other features and the list of commands that apply there are listed here.
The opinions stated herein do not necessarily represent those of my employer.

I hadn't heard this one before, gave me a laugh.....
A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.
'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la Casa.'
'Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'
A student asked, "What gender is 'computer'?"
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.
The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:
1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;
2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;
3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and
4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:
1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;
2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;
3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and
4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have gotten a better model.
The women won.

This is a "oh, how did you do that" question that pops up occasionally, so thought I may as well share it.
I use vmware regularly to speed up the building, testing and re-testing of support issues. Looking back now,
I don't know how I managed as long as I did without it.
I sometimes want to give access to other people to use my servers but without giving up the host machine
to them entirely. Most of the time, it's to let them hit an LDAP server for a quick test or to access my Sametime
or Connections builds.
Using vmware workstation 5 or 6, but not sure if it will apply to other vmware types, this is how I open and
forward ports from the outside world into my vmware servers. For example, to open my Connections server
for access by browsers on workstations other than the host machine I need to let ports 80 and 443 in.
EDIT -- Virtual Network settings -- NAT tab -- Edit -- Port Forwarding -- Click 'Add' in the TCP section.
In the next dialog enter the IP address of your virtual machine (not the host) and the port number you are mapping.
Do this for both ports. Once you have done this, restart the NAT service and you should now see that the
vmnat.exe service on your host machine is listening on these ports.
On the external workstation which you plan on using to access the virtual machine, create a hosts file entry
for the hostname of the virtual machine and the IP address of the host machine and your done.
Now when you point the browser to http://vm.test.com/profiles you will access the virtual machine via the host
and be able to work as normal. Hope that helps someone.

I recently had to set up an environment to use the Notes 8.0.2 Client and embedded Sametime with the Lotus Connections 2.0 plugin available here from the Connections catalog site. I wanted to pull the business
cards from the profiles feature into Sametime.
The problem? After installing it, no business card at all and just an error dialog telling me that the bizcard.html
file could not be found, even though I could browse to find the exact file in the path shown.
The telling error in the Notes trace log was this one "HTMLBusinessCard invoking external browser with :"
Without an internal browser to show the card, we're stuck.
The solution? I took the XULRunner browser from the Sametime Advanced plugins package and installed it first on the Notes 8 client. Once this was in
place, I had a lovely new business card direct from Profiles.

My turn to join the community! I'm a blogging virgin so be gentle ;)
For those of you who may not have worked with me before, my name is Kieran Reid and I've been working in the EMEA level 2 Lotus customer support center now for over 4 years. I currently cover Lotus Connections and Sametime but have also previously worked on Domino messaging and directories for almost 3 years.
I'll try keep this updated with useful bits and pieces.
