If you have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy S3 phone, then you are most probably having an issue inserting your SIM. It is too big! What you need is a micro SIM for your new phone. You can cut your current SIM down to size. You will find many tutorials on the net. However, it is much simpler to just order one from your service provider.

Some of Facebook’s new features that have been rolled out for pages have been covered at Facebook Fan Page: New Layout and Features

However, there are a few tidbits not covered under that article. Here they are:

1. Have you ever faced a situation where you were co-owner of a page and wanted your comments to be separated from other co-owners? Being the admin of a group, everyone gets to post as ‘page name‘. Pretty confusing for the visitors and fans as they won’t know who is who, if there are two or three of you answering on the same threads.

This is a direct quote from Matt Mullenweg:

we’ve fixed a pretty critical vulnerability in WordPress’ core HTML sanitation library, and because this library is used lots of places it’s important that everyone update as soon as possible.

As far as I can remember, this is the first time I have ever had them send me an email asking to upgrade asap so this is very important.

If this does not work for some reason, download WordPress. Upload all files other than the wp-content folder and the wp-config file in the root folder. I had to go via this route and ended up overwriting the wp-config file. Not a big deal but still a minor inconvenience.
