I thought I would document this experience I had when upgrading some sites to WordPress 3.0.
After WordPress 3.0 came out I took some time to upgrade blogs I manage and was impressed how well the upgrades fared. No issues, fair warnings and ultimately upgraded sites. However, on one of my development sites, after the upgrade, [...]
I came across weird behaviour recently relating to breadcrumbs. In a site I was working on the breadcrumb functionality (provided by a plugin) was not consistent – it was incorrect on single post pages but correct on category pages. It didn’t make sense. There are not many options for the breadcrumb plugin so it was [...]
I’ve recently worked on a couple of blog sites that had been victim to malicious activity. The evidence was different in both cases and for one consisted of search results that promoted drugs that enhance performance.

There’s nothing like starting out the New Year securing your WordPress blog. We all know that WordPress is really quick and easy to install but out of box it’s not necessarily configured to be fully secure or as secure as it could be. Keeping WordPress secure is not a full time job but a few [...]
This point release is now available for download from wordpress.org. This point release was the result of lots of feedback from the WordPress community relating to the curl / PHP / webhost issues as well as problems with post scheduling (a feature I’m sure many use) and pingbacks (used to share your posts).
I used Tools, [...]
No sooner than WordPress 2.9 was released, an updated point release was announced to resolve issues on some versions of PHP’s curl extension. Bizarre.
