Back to the Future… So why the heck would I caption this “back to the future?” Well, let me explain.  Today I decided to head back to my old blog that I did on blogger (which totally sucked btw….WP FTW!), and try to find some old photos for show notes for my new podcast Photo Drives. We recorded an episode about how we got started in photography or where we came from with our work.  What is interesting is that I ran across a post I wrote on Christmas Eve in 2010 about comfort. It really resonated with me today just […]

Another day, another re-boot, and it went from bad to worse. My web host had emailed me about having to reboot my server. I had decided it best to go with managed (although not dedicated WordPress hosting) instead of unmanaged, as I didn’t have the time to deal with all the ins and outs of dealing with the technical details of taking care of my own server. My host emailed me the typical recommendations as it had all the times before, the first being to upgrade my VPS service, something I didn’t want to do. I was already spending more than […]

There is an ongoing attack on WordPress sites sweeping across the web and your install could be next. Using more than 90,000 IP addresses, this attack is cracking admin logins on weak WordPress systems. One web hosting company warned that these attacks are part of a process of building a botnet that is “more destructive than those available today.” According to Matthew Prince, CEO of CloudFlare, These larger machines can cause much more damage in DDoS [distributed denial-of-service] attacks because the servers have large network connections and are capable of generating significant amounts of traffic. Yikes! Is your WordPress as safe as […]

Last week I had a weeks partial holiday where I travelled back to the UK (and then on to Barcelona). I saw partial as there was work that I needed to do but I still kept a long period free of any work. I love travelling light in airplane and usually take a laptop with me so I can work and be entertained on the go. However, after my review of MP6 and getting a Note 2 I thought it would be a great chance to test how easy it would be to blog just from a mobile phone. So before I […]

I admit I’ve learned to block out the color yellow in my WordPress dashboard, particularly when it’s associated with the word “update.” This is what WordPress users know: keep your installation updated for security reasons, and, before you update, backup your WordPress files and database. Logical, good advice. It’s that second part, the need to backup your stuff and theoretically prepare for a possible WordPocalypse that makes people hesitant to update their installation. Concern and, well, laziness. I love WordPress. It doesn’t mean I haven’t had the happy experience of going ahead with the update and experiencing the four stages of […]
