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

Today I came across this software – TrackBoost.
The first deterrant to looking into this further was the fact that the website only had a video and hardly any content about the software. My speakers are not working at the moment and I find using my headphones to be a pain. However, I put them on unwillingly as I wanted to get more information.
If you are like me and don’t want to be forced to watch videos, here is a lowdown of what the software is about and what I liked and disliked about the product.
What It Does
The software links to your Wordpress database. According to the website:

I’m still figuring this one out, folks. Personally, I am the laziest person when it comes to writing. Designing I can do all day long but writing … that is a completely different story.
So how do I motivate myself to keep at it?
- Get Motivated By Others
When I am really out of it and I don’t feel like writing at all, I go and read blogs at random. Not only does that give me ideas and get my creative juices flowing, it gives me the extra push I need. After all if so many people can keep blogging day after day then so can I.

Look at my RSS Subscriptions
Alright so the current number isn’t exactly anything to write home about. But I like to see numbers go up (who doesn’t
