Matt has an interesting blog post at the WordPress blog about why you should keep your WordPress version up-to-date (as if you needed another reason). Matt compares 3 types of WordPress security advice: snake oil. Club solutions and real advice (see his post for what he means by Club solutions). The only thing I would [...]
Like many other WordPress users, I use a comment form plugin in order to get comments from my website’s WordPress installation into my mailbox. Getting that information from the site to the inbox is a fairly simple process, due mainly to fact that I used a simple contact form plugin. For the most part, I [...]
So I upgraded today to WordPress 2.8 (which I still haven’t really played around with — obviously, since I just upgraded today), and I’m starting to wonder when I can look forward to not having to click that upgrade button any more. The addition of one-click upgrades to both the WordPress core installation as well [...]
As I was upgrading to the latest version of WordPress today (if you’re using WordPress and haven’t upgraded, version 2.7.1 just came out a little while ago, and I’d suggest upgrading), I ran into a bit of a snag. It turns out that the new built-in feature that upgrades WordPress automatically doesn’t play nice with [...]
The way I figure it, on June 27th, this blog will officially be 20 months old. I understand that 20 months is when children often enter the “terrible twos” (I don’t have any children myself, so I have to rely on what I read on the web). While browsing around to find out about what [...]
I’ve upgraded the site today to WordPress’ latest version: WordPress 2.5, Release Candidate 2 (RC2). In case you’re curious to see what’s new with the latest version, you can check it out over at the WordPress development blog. The admin interface has changed substantially (and it seems much more pastel, but maybe it’s just me), [...]
I came across a post on Charles Stricklin’s blog about how the Graffitti content management system was knocking WordPress in their Google ads. Now I’m not really that partial to any technology, and I get a little freaked out when people evangelize to me about how great a particular technology is (people in general, I’m [...]
Just a brief post to let you all know that there are a few new features that have been added to the site. If you’re reading this in a feed reader, make sure you stop by the site to check out these great new features. The first new feature is that you can now now [...]
After clearing out my comment spam filter on this site this morning, I decided it was time to attempt to curb the amount of spam this site is getting. In the first few months of this blog being around, I got around 1000 spam. As of today, the site’s up to about 100 comment spam [...]
While I’ve taken a course or two that has introduced me to the basics of web design, I think I have really learned more in the past few weeks through starting this site and installing various WordPress themes. When I started this site, I had virtually no knowledge of PHP. I think there’s really nothing [...]
