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 [...]
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. I mean who would’ve thought after all the beta testing and release candidates that this kind of issue would only show up once released to the public. Hence WordPress 2.9.1 was [...]
The latest version of WordPress, 2.9, has just been released. Upgrading was really quite easy. I logged into my WordPress dashboard and saw the message saying that WordPress 2.9 is available, click here to upgrade. So, I did. The upgrade screen reminded me to backup my database, a sensible suggestion, so I quickly clicked through [...]
I’ve been lucky to have had the opportunity to work on a high profile website such as TheChive.com and just recently they’ve celebrated their 1st Birthday. I’ve helped them with various issues and improvements over the time they’ve been online, switched themes, modified theme layouts, plugins, custom coding, styling and more. Clearly there’s an attraction [...]

We’re all in favour of new features and performance improvements but sometimes we overlook the important security aspects these updates bring. Recently WordPress was the subject of an attack by a worm that had a negative impact on the performance and security [...]
Occasionally you might find the need to customize a category page for a specific category or post archive. Perhaps you want to show some additional text, images or include some other content relevant to that category.
I helped a client recently with some issues using WordPress. His issues were: 1. The WYSIWYG menu bar is not there to post messages in IE8 (it is there in Firefox, so its not the end of the world) 2. I can’t add tags to posts 3. I can’t drag widgets to the side bars [...]
A recent client project increased my exposure to integrating jQuery with WordPress. For this client I had to design a filter interface enabling the user to choose a category and then pick a time range to search for rated posts (if not all time) and then finally the resultant posts are sorted by ratings. For [...]
