In one sentence – Upgrade to Wordpress 2.8.4 right now!!
That is unless you want to leave your blog open to being hacked. If you are using an older version of Wordpress, your blog has security vulnerabilities. Thankfully, these security loopholes have been fixed in Wordpress.
If you don’t think this can happen to you, think again!
One of my websites which is based on a Wordpress blog and was running on version 2.0.9 got hacked a while back. I would never have found out if not for Google Webmaster Tools.
So if you have not signed up for that yet, better do so asap as they have some very good tools which will help with optimizing your website/blog.

Amazing Breakthrough In 3-D ECover Actions
If You're An Information Marketer Who Yearns To Transform Your Ecover Graphics From Ho-Hum To HOLY SMOKES, Then You've Got To Read This Story...
I started out with this blog being a do-follow blog because I believe in giving back to those who contribute useful comments. I can live with the fact that they might be adding the comment only for a link back as long as they also add something solid.
However, sadly most of the comments turn up being the ‘Thank you for this post’ type comments, while others don’t even bother with that and just copy an old comment that made it through moderation. Even worse are those that are not even relevant to the post.
No Follow to Do Follow to No Follow
Due to these tactics, a lot of do-follow blogs have decided to go back to being no-follow blogs. Although, this blog is still do-follow, I am seriously considering that option if the quality of comments keeps deteriorating. It can be very time consuming to wade through the spam to get to the real comments and sometimes they get missed out on or get delayed in posting.

It does not help to be on vacation while Google decides to do away with the old Feedburner links.
I managed to miss the whole fun of it, got busy with other projects when I got back and never realized that my RSS feed was kaput.
At least a warning or an email from Google would have been nice but I’m still waiting.
So today when I clicked on my RSS feed by chance, I was shocked to discover a 404 error.
Ahhh so that is why people were asking how to subscribe to my RSS feed and I was wondering why when the links were all over the place.

As most of you may have realized by now, it is always a good idea to wait a while before upgrading to the latest version of Wordpress.
One reason is you have to give the plugin authors time to update, if any are needed on their plugins. The second advantage to waiting is that all the security bugs get ironed out. In case you noticed, WP 2.8 was followed by 2.8.1 up to 2.8.4 pretty quickly.
I finally upgraded at 2.8.4 and all the plugins seem to be working flawlessly and I haven’t even updated all of them as yet so that is step number two.
Now for the new features:

It seems like there is a new Wordpress version every few months. This is great from one perspective i.e. we get great new features and it just keeps getting better. However, seeing from the other end of the spectrum it also means that we have to upgrade and make changes to our theme and make sure there are no broken plugins.
My last version was WP 2.5.1 and I finally upgraded to 2.7 last night. It was more or less a painless task since all of my plugins still work with 2.7. At most I had to update them via the one-click plugin update (it is more like 2 clicks but who’s counting 
).
However, it did require some changes in my theme. I could have lived without these changes as my theme did not break … I just wanted some of the new features to work.
So here’s the low down on some of the main changes in Wordpress 2.7 and how to deal with them:

Xperia has a 800×480 screen meaning a lot of programs do not work at this resolution. Not to mention a lot of softwares out there only work up to Win Mo 5. It is hard work sifting thru all these programs, seeing what works, what doesn’t, what is worth keeping and so on.
The good news is I’ve done most of the work. I’ve tried so many softwares and gotten down to the few that work great. So here are some that are great, others that might work for you and some you really need to stay away from.
FREE TOOLS AND UTILITIES
GMAIL Java App: The latest Gmail app does not work with Xperia but this one does. However, I prefer to use POP mail to download Gmail and that works better not to mention it is also more readable.

I have hard reset my Xperia so many times now that I’m sure I have memorized all the steps now. And don’t worry it wasn’t because Xperia has problems, I was just tweaking, testing and playing with the registry. Read on to save yourself all the time I have spent testing things out for you.
Align Screen
This is the first thing you will need to do in order to get your phone working. Make sure you use a stylus. Using your fingers is not a good idea as you will find the screen very unresponsive after that. I found out the hard way.

I have had a Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 since November 15 and have been playing with it for the past 12 days. So far I am loving the phone.
First Impression
When I first saw the box, I was quite surprised. I had expected it to be bigger for some reason. The next surprise was the phone itself. It looked so small. And if that wasn’t enough I got another shock on sliding out the keyboard. The keys are so small but not in a bad way. It’s just that the photographs give you the impression of the phone being a bit bigger for some reason.

Is Your Comment Author Link All Messed Up?
Did you recently upgrade to WP 2.7 and noticed that your comment author link is a bit messed up?
If you are also using the Semiologic do-follow plugin, you might also have noticed that it is no longer working.
SOLUTION
Look in your plugins to see if you have a Google Analyticator plugin. Just deactivate it and everything will be back to normal.
