  1. New Lijit WordPress Plugin

    There’s a new and improved Lijit WordPress plugin available for download. This version is one that my company, Crowd Favorite, had the pleasure of helping build. The new plugin makes it easy for you to enable Lijit search from the default WordPress search box, or you can add in the full Lijit widget wijit if…

  3. WordCamp Utah

    WordCamp Utah is coming! September 27th is the date – registration is open.

I’ll probably be flying in Friday mid-day and out on Sunday. Big thanks to Joseph Scott for…

  4. Debugging an XSS attack

    Today I ran across a Cross Site Scripting (XSS) attack in the wild. Since the victimized site is run by a friend, I did a little digging to see how the attack was done so I could tell him about the issue and how to fix it. Here is a little background on XSS attacks…

  9. 404s and WordPress Server Load

    A few months back we launched a site redesign/redevelopment project for a client, and made a simple mistake that had some interesting ramifications. It’s worth posting here so others don’t make the same mistake. What Happened When redeveloping the site, we moved the WordPress instance from the web root: /public_html/wp-config.php /public_html/wp-includes/ /public_html/… to a subdirectory…

  11. .me Domains

    Today’s .me domain registration was very interesting. The process was definitely a bit FUBARed by the registrars as they allowed people to register domains that were already taken, but the fact that they did lead to a rather interesting side effect: creativity. I watched with interest as people I knew tried out interesting combinations of…
