Updating Blog

by admin | September 5, 2008 | In Updates No Comments

In the process of updating Wordpress to the latest version, since in the few months there's a security flaw in my previous version. It's been serious because Google flagged my site as having malware, I never noticed this since I've updated Firefox into version 3 which has an notifier on sites that are having malware. The attacker use an xmlrpc to edit post in my Wordpress Blog, having an iframe calling a suspicious site that automatically been called when my site is loaded.

Also in the process of changing the site design.

Cleaning up

Been busy this following days, swamped by request and a conflict in my schedule. There's a lot have been change and lot have been learned. One is the use of right tools in my development process. If not carefully reviewed and look upon it will result in a mess.

One is using Firefox addons, I've installed Skype and upon installation it updated Firefox 3 to have add-ons showing Skype and replacing some kind of formatting in phone numbers. Once in FCKEditor and editing content, the editor gets the layout and the style formatting. You will not see it Firefox but when the client views it on another browser it will result in missing images.

Another is using Google Toolbar highlighting feature, FCKEditor will get it's style formatting once in the editor area.

As of yesterday there's a new browser from Google which they named Chrome and the rendering engine is based on webkit which is from KDE and Safari also uses webkit. The enhancement of the javascript engine, they named it V8, it is worth noticing in AJAX extensive sites, like in Gmail and other Social Networking Sites.

The experience is very good not only for the techies but also for the average internet user, my wife got curious and used it in accessing her friendster account. She was very pleased about the loading time and the large screen without the clog like she is used to in Internet Explorer. I have been encouraging her to use Firefox for nearly a year and without success she didnt switch using it as her default browser. But in Chrome she like it very much.
