Blogging Fool

To everyone using a Wordpress custom installation I strongly recommend upgrading to the latest patch version 2.8.4 which not only includes the previous point patches but prevents a malicious hack of the admin backend.

One of the first mistakes I made when I started building my own “self-hosted” Wordpress blogs was what any kid with a shiny new nickel might – I ran around the plugins directory and gorged myself on every wicked new app out there, hoping to build the Ultimate Star Destroyer of all Blogs with my massive arsenal of killer addons.

This was good for a while, and I am glad I had the opportunity to test out different combinations, but one day I woke up to a text message that one of my key sites had the most terrifying message known to any site admin:

“This Account Has Been Suspended. Please contact us immediately.”
