I’m wondering if I’d gain anything from putting a small Google AdSense unit or maybe an AdSense link unit on the LJ-Stat page. And by “gain anything” I mean get a few cents to help pay my hosting bills. It could be relatively unobtrusive… It’s just that, thus far, I’ve avoided putting any ads on [...]
The .1 update that many people said they were waiting for is here. (And there are reminders all over every admin page on my blog, too.) Version 2.5.1 of WordPress is now available. It includes a number of bug fixes, performance enhancements, and one very important security fix. We recommend everyone update immediately, particularly if [...]
I’ve gotten into the habit of actually reading the various blogs to which there are links on my WordPress dashboard and I saw this today from boren.nu: To make cookies secure against attacks where someone has managed to get into your database through an SQL injection exploit or other means, WordPress 2.5 introduced a user-definable [...]
Scribblit => Inksome (but scribblit.com still works… for now? until May 10 [updated based on comment below]) CommieJournal to close May 1 unless they raise the money to cover $169/month hosting bill. (If they cover this month’s bill, will the date just become June 1? I don’t know.)

I not only wanted to integrate my own other things into my WordPress-based site, but I wanted forums, too, so of course I thought of bbPress. It seems to integrate well with WordPress, but then suddenly strange things started happening with login and logout. For instance, when I logged in with bbPress, I couldn’t get [...]

If, like me, you find yourself doing lots of random web stuff, particularly with all the HTML, CSS, MySQL, and PHP that go along with it, you may find yourself looking for a good reference book so you can quickly check the syntax of that one thing you only use like once a year and [...]

After implementing other pages that used WordPress to authenticate users and deal with access control, I went to move these pages off to a subdomain, and suddenly found that auth_redirect wasn’t quite working right. When auth_redirect is called and doesn’t find a logged-in user, it redirects to login and passes the URI of the current [...]
