Chaucer prblboay meant 32 days after March, i.e. May 2, the anniversary of the engagement of King Richard II of England to Anne of Bohemia, which took place in 1381. However, readers apparently misunderstood this line to mean March 32, i.e April 1. In Chaucer\'s tale, the vain cock Chauntecler is tricked by a fox.In 1508, a French poet referred to a poisson d’avril (April fool, literally April fish ), a possible reference to the holiday. In 1539, Flemish poet Eduard de Dene wrote of a nobleman who sent his servants on foolish errands on April 1. In 1686, John Aubrey referred to the holiday as Fooles holy day , the first British reference. On April 1, 1698, several people were tricked into going to the Tower of London to see the Lions washed. The name April Fools echoes that of the Feast of Fools, a Medieval holiday held on December 28.In the Middle Ages, New Year\'s Day was celebrated on March 25 in most European towns. In some areas of France, New Year\'s was a week-long holiday ending on April 1. So it is possible that April Fools originated because those who celebrated on January 1 made fun of those who celebrated on other dates. The use of January 1 as New Year\'s Day was common in France by the mid-sixteenth century, and this date was adopted officially in 1564 by the Edict of Roussillon.In the eighteenth century the festival was often posited as going back to the time of Noah. According to an English newspaper article published in 1789, the day had its origin when Noah sent his dove off too early, before the waters had receded; he did this on the first day of the Hebrew month that corresponds with April.?? ???? ?????? ???????? ??? ?? ????? ??. ? ???? ?? ??? ?? ???? ?????.?? ????????? ??? ??????? ??? ???????? ??? ??. ? ???? ?? ???? ?????? ???????? ???????? ??. ?????

Where their 1.0 might have checked for version numbers, 2.0 just tests capabilities, version number be damned. </p>\n<p>The second type of advice is Club solutions; to illustrate, I’ll quote from <a href=\"http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/10/29/club_vs_lojack_solutions\">Mark Pilgrim’s excellent essay on spam 7 years ago, before WordPress even existed</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The <em>really</em> interesting thing about these approaches, from a game theory perspective, is that they are all <a href=\"http://slate.msn.com/?id=2041\" title=\"Slate, August 3, 1997: Property Is Theft: When protecting your own property is stealing from others\">Club solutions, not Lojack solutions</a>. There are two basic approaches to protecting your car from theft: <a href=\"http://www.theclub.com/\">The Club</a> (or The Shield, or a car alarm, or something similar), and <a href=\"http://www.lojack.com/\">Lojack</a>. The Club isn’t much protection against a thief who is determined to steal <em>your</em> car (it’s easy enough to drill the lock, or just cut the steering wheel and slide The Club off). But it is effective protection against a thief who wants to steal <em>a</em> car (not necessarily <em>your</em> car), because thieves are generally in a hurry and will go for the easiest target, the low-hanging fruit. The Club works as long as not everyone has it, since if everyone had it, thieves would have an equally difficult time stealing any car, their choice will be based on other factors, and your car is back to being as vulnerable as anyone else’s. The Club doesn’t deter theft, it only deflects it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Club blog security solutions can be simple (like an .htaccess file) or incredibly complex (like two-factor authentication), and they can work, especially for <em>known exploits</em>. Club solutions can be useful, like using a strong or complex password for your login — no one would recommend against that. (Another club solution is switching to less-used software on the assumption or more like the software’s claim that it’s perfect and more secure. This is why BeOS is more secure than Linux, ahem.)</p>\n<p>In the car world, if someone figured out how to teleport entire cars to chop shops, The Club wouldn’t be so useful anymore. Luckily for manufacturers of The Club, this hasn’t happened. Online and in the software world, though, the equivalent happens almost daily. There is only one real solution. <strong>The only thing that I can promise will keep your blog secure today and in the future is upgrading.</strong></p>\n<p>WordPress is a community of hundreds of people that read the code every day, audit it, update it, and care enough about keeping your blog safe that we do things like release updates weeks apart from each other even though it makes us look bad, because updating is going to keep your blog safe from the bad guys. I’m not clairvoyant and I can’t predict what schemes spammers, hackers, crackers, and tricksters will come up with with in the future to harm your blog, but I do know for certain that as long as WordPress is around we’ll do everything in our power to make sure the software is safe. We’ve already made upgrading core and plugins a one-click procedure. If we find something broken, we’ll release a fix.

While the exact features for 2.9 have not been hammered out yet, as we continue to match up developers with features, we wanted to share the survey results and let you know what we’re thinking in terms of approach.</p>\n<p>First, the results. The first question, and the only one that was mandatory, asked what single media feature you would choose to include in version 2.9. The top vote-getter was standalone editable photo albums (as opposed to the current per-post gallery) at 17.5%, followed closely by easier embeds for videos and other third-party content at 16.5%. Next came basic image editing (such as rotating, cropping and resizing) at 13.7%, and post thumbnails (image teasers for posts featured on the home page) at 12.9%. The rest of the features each took less than ten percent of the vote. The full list came in like this:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q1.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q1.png\" alt=\"Results of question 1\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>The second question was optional (3406 people answered it), and asked you to rate each feature on a scale going from <em>top priority</em> down to <em>definitely not</em> for implementation priority. Results here were in line with the results from the first question, with most features rated as <em>nice to have</em> more often than anything else. The features that scored the highest in question 1 were more likely to have earned higher votes in the Top Priority column, but no feature was ranked as a Top Priority more often than it was ranked as a Nice to Have (though Media Albums, Easier Embeds and Post Thumbnails came close). The complete tabulations are shown in the chart below.</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q2.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q2.png\" alt=\"Results for question 2\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>Question three was getting at the same thing, but in a more granular fashion, asking you to rank the eleven features in order of priority to you. As only one feature could be assigned to each position, this prevented people from assigning the same priority to multiple features, and we wondered if it would alter the results. Though some features got more recognition in this question, the overall rankings were still in line with the results from question 1. Here are the exact votes per feature/per position:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q3.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q3.png\" alt=\"Results for question 3\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>The fourth question asked for your preferences regarding including new media features in core, bundling them as plugins with the core download, or developing them as plugins but not bundling them with the core download. This vote was more interesting to watch. As the notice for the voting went first to the development community, then to the user community, it was possible to see a shift in the voting. Earlier in the voting cycle, there were more votes for bundling ‘core plugins’ for the advanced media features, while later votes skewed heavily toward just putting the features in core. This vote shows, I think, one of the differences between developer and user perspectives. While developers are heavily interested in keeping the core code lean and relying on plugins for advanced functionality, many users would prefer features they want to be included in core rather than being a separate plugin. The final tally on this question was 56.2% for including features in core, 38.1% for bundled plugins, and 5.7% for non-bundled plugins. The actual numbers:</p>\n<p><a href=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q4.png\"><img src=\"http://wpdotorg.wordpress.com/files/2009/07/q4.png\" alt=\"Results for question 4\" width=\"620\" /></a></p>\n<p>Clearly this issue deserves more discussion, and the concept of how we move toward a system of canonical plugins and/or core “packages” intended for different use cases (CMS, photoblog, portfolio, etc) will be a big topic in the months ahead.</p>\n<p>So where does that leave us regarding features coming down the road? When the vote closed, the results were discussed in the #wordpress-dev IRC chat to divvy up feature development.</p>\n<p>The top-voted feature, standalone photo albums, is being worked on as a <a href=\"http://gsoc2009wp.wordpress.com/rudolf-photo-albums/\">Google Summer of Code project by Rudolf Lai</a>, under the mentorship of WordPress Lead Developer <a href=\"http://markjaquith.com/\">Mark Jaquith</a>. The “pencils down” date for GSOC is in less than two weeks, at which point we’ll be assessing the state of Rudolf’s project. Hopefully, we’ll be able to incorporate it with 2.9 development, do some testing, amend the code and/or UI as needed, and have this launch with the 2.9 release (in core or as plugin TBD). Undoubtedly, additional functionality will be contributed by core contributors who have also been working on media plugins.</p>\n<p>Easier embeds, the second most popular feature, is being looked at in a couple of ways. One, more shortcodes for third-party services. Work on this has already begun. In addition, <a href=\"http://viper007bond.com\">Viper007Bond</a>, of <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vipers-video-quicktags/\">Viper’s Video Quicktags plugin</a> fame, has taken on the task of working on a way to improve the embed experience in core. We’re not sure quite how this will work yet, but stay tuned.</p>\n<p>Adding some basic editing functions like 90-degree rotation, cropping and resizing was considered an obvious winner in the dev chat, and as several plugins handle this functionality, we’re hopeful it will be included soon.</p>\n<p>Post thumbnails are being handled by Mark Jaquith, who has created this functionality before, with an assist from <a href=\"http://scribu.net/\">Scribu</a>, who has a <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-field-images/\">similar plugin</a> in the repository.</p>\n<p>Lower ranked features aren’t off the radar, but may take lower priority than some other (non-media) features we have in the works. One of my favorite 2.9 features is in trunk now, and changes the way we delete content. Goodbye, annoying popup asking me if I’m sure I want to delete a comment/post/etc. Hello, fast and quiet removal into a trash can, from which the content can be retrieved if it was deleted by accident. Think Gmail style. We’re also hoping to work on improving page management, though that has a number of technical issues that may cause it to be a 3.0 feature instead.</p>\n<p>As always, you can keep track of development progress in a number of ways:<br />\n1. Keep track of Trac. Contribute a patch, test a patch, just read through tickets if you have some time to kill, whatever. There are <a href=\"https://core.trac.wordpress.org/query?status=reopened&status=assigned&status=reviewing&status=new&status=accepted&group=status&milestone=2.9\">over 500 tickets against the 2.9 milestone</a> currently. Patches and testing can help us get that number down.</p>\n<p>2. Follow Trac commits on Twitter. Don’t want to get involved in the nitty gritty, just want to see what’s getting committed? Follow <a href=\"http://twitter.com/wpdevel\">wpdevel on Twitter</a> and you’ll get core commit updates in your stream.</p>\n<p>3. See what’s on the dev agenda. Each week for the IRC dev chat, there’s an agenda, created based on developer suggestions posted at <a href=\"http://wpdevel.wordpress.com\">wpdevel.wordpress.com</a>. This blog also contains discussions about specific development issues.</p>\n<p>4. Join the dev chat. The day changed this week, to accommodate European schedules. Chats are now held for one hour each week on Thursday at 21:00 UTC. That’s 5pm NYC, 2pm in California, etc. Chats are in the #wordpress-dev room at irc.freenode.com.</p>\n<p>5. Watch this blog. If you’re not a developer and prefer to stick to major announcements, the occasional survey to help decide a feature, and security notices, just keep doing what you’re doing.

I take that as a testament to the new features in WordPress and perhaps even more the features offered by plugins, many of which don’t support older versions of WordPress!</p>\n<p>I’m disappointed that we weren’t able to keep the branch maintained until 2010, but since one of the big reasons for that failure was the massive scope of our security improvements for the newer versions of WordPress, 2.0.x doesn’t die in vain!</p>\n\";}i:6;a:13:{s:5:\"title\";s:36:\"Improving your plugin – Changelogs\";s:4:\"link\";s:74:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/07/improving-your-plugin-changelogs/\";s:8:\"comments\";s:83:\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/07/improving-your-plugin-changelogs/#comments\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Tue, 21 Jul 2009 20:28:34 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:14:\"Peter Westwood\";}s:8:\"category\";s:29:\"Documentationpluginstutorials\";s:4:\"guid\";s:39:\"http://wordpress.org/development/?p=848\";s:11:\"description\";s:340:\"We’ve recently made some changes to help improve the communication between plugin authors and plugin users about the changes that are made between versions.\nWe feel that all software should have a changelog that details, at a high level, what changes have been made in each version so that the user can make an informed decision [...]\";s:7:\"content\";a:1:{s:7:\"encoded\";s:1507:\"<p>We’ve <a href=\"http://westi.wordpress.com/2009/06/20/changelogs-changelogs-changelogs/\">recently made some changes</a> to help improve the communication between plugin authors and plugin users about the changes that are made between versions.</p>\n<p>We feel that all software should have a changelog that details, at a high level, what changes have been made in each version so that the user can make an informed decision about when to upgrade and how much testing they should do with their site.</p>\n<p>In order to make this an easy and open communication channel we have added support for a Changelog section in the plugins <code>readme.txt</code> file.

According to statistics it is <strong>the</strong> most popular plugin in the whole WordPress Extend repository. It has a robust feature set. Of all the SEO-related WordPress plugins I have tried it is, in my opinion, the best there currently is. The plugin allows you to optimize various things in WordPress for search engines including your site title, your keywords, page titles, and much more. One of the features I like the most is the ability to generate keywords automatically based on the current post. Very handy!</li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/headspace2/\">HeadSpace</a></strong><br />\nThe plugin HeadSpace comes in a close second for me. It also has a great many features and is also very popular. It has some of the features SEO Pack has and many others that it does not. One of the really great features of this plugin is the ability to automatically generate post tags based off the content of the post. Being a person who sucks at categorizing and tagging my posts I really love this feature. Another feature I like is the ability to import data from other plugins like SEO Pack.</li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-sitemap-generator/\">Google XML Sitemaps</a></strong><br />\nHaving a well-defined map of your entire site is another important aspect of SEO. Google XML Sitemaps is the best plugin for that job in my opinion. I’ve used it extensively for the past few years and I have seen some good results from it. It’s really easy to use but still has a good number of features.</li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/seo-automatic-links/\">SEO Smart Links</a></strong><br />\nI like SEO Smart Links because of the automation it provides. It can automatically link keywords in your posts to their corresponding posts and pages. This really helps with keeping visitors clicking further into your site. You can also specify custom keywords and the URLs they should link to. <em>Nifty!</em></li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/robots-meta/\">Robots Meta</a></strong><br />\nRobots Meta is another good plugin. I like it for its simplicity. With it you can add meta tags to hide comments feeds from search engines, prevent search engines from indexing all feeds on your site, hide search result pages from search engines, hide the admin pages from search engines, and much more.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>There we have it. 5 top plugins for WordPress Search Engine Optimization. Remember though, this is merely my opinion. It doesn’t necessarily mean they are in an order you would agree with. I actually like all these plugins very much.

Upgrading is taking your vitamins; fixing a hack is open heart surgery. (This is true of cost, as well.)</p></blockquote>\n<p>While WordPress has lowered the bar of entry to publishing content on the web, one constant remains, the responsibility of running your own website. This responsibility includes making sure that your webhost is doing its job, that the various layers and technologies which make WordPress tick are fairly up to date and locked down. These layers include but are not limited to PHP, MySQL, folder-file permissions, etc. Dave Coveney also brings up the point that <a title=\"http://www.interconnectit.com/679/a-common-sense-wordpress-security-primer/\" href=\"http://www.interconnectit.com/679/a-common-sense-wordpress-security-primer/\" target=\"_blank\">security is more than just WordPress</a>.</p>\n<blockquote><p>Even if you have the very latest version of everything there are, out there, what are known as zero day exploits. These are vulnerabilities which are kept secret by the hackers who have found them. They cease to be secret if they become widely used in a large scale attack. Like the current one against WordPress.</p></blockquote>\n<p>You can’t just upload WordPress, perform a bunch of customizations, install 50 plugins, 50 themes, and think everything will be fine from that day forward. WordPress along with the associated technologies are always evolving. That means your site must evolve as well.</p>\n<p>One of the commonalities between most of the comments I’ve read regarding the worm attack consisted of upgrades breaking themes or plugins. Based on experience, I have never experienced a problem with a plugin or a theme completely breaking my site thanks to an upgrade. Sure, I’ve had times where some of the theme or plugin functionality broke because of a deprecated function or changed behaviour, but that’s about it. Generally if an upgrade breaks a site, it’s because of a poorly coded plugin or theme. I can’t believe this attitude that functionality trumps security. There are hundreds of plugins within the repository, if you’re afraid of one breaking or feel that it is not compatible with the upgrade, deactivate it until an update for it is available or use a replacement. Missing a small portion of functionality is better than having your entire site compromised.</p>\n<h2>But I Didn’t Know</h2>\n<p>This is by far the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard. When a new version of WordPress is released, here are the following ways you can find out.</p>\n<p>Log into your dashboard and look for a colored message in the top center of your screen which says something like <strong>WordPress X.X.X is available! Please Update Now</strong>. The link will take you to the one click auto ugprader.</p>\n<p>Activate the WordPress Development Blog dashboard widget. This will show you the latest posts from the WordPress development blog. If there is a new update, there will be a new post saying so.</p>\n<p>In the bottom right corner of the administration panel, there will be the text <strong>Get X.X.X</strong>. This is a link to the one click upgrader letting you know you’re running an out of date version.</p>\n<p>Follow the WordPress blog account on Twitter. @<a title=\"http://twitter.com/wordpress\" href=\"http://twitter.com/wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">wordpress</a> this account is managed by the WordPress team and usually will contain links to blog posts regarding new releases.</p>\n<p>Follow blogs that report on the happenings within the community. The WordPress community does a great job spreading the word when a new version is released.</p>\n<p>WordPress does maintain an announcement mailing list that you can subscribe to by checking a box in your WordPress forum profile but in my opinion, they have done a terrible job utilizing that list.</p>\n<h2>The Decisions You Make Today Shape Your Tomorrow</h2>\n<p>One question you should ask yourself before installing any theme or plugin is whether or not it will prevent you from upgrading. The same holds true for custom development work. A theme or plugin that is custom developed which does things in such a way that makes upgrading a pain means they developed it wrong. For starters, no one should ever hack any of the core files. Secondly, developers should use hooks and existing APIs to achieve functionality. If the functionality does not exist, they should create a ticket in Trac and request that a particular hook or API be added to core so core edits do not take place.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Can’t Do It All</h2>\n<p>WordPress has made it incredibly simple to upgrade with the addition of the one click upgrader yet so many still don’t seem to upgrade in a timely fashion. I realize the auto upgrader does not work for everyone but there are alternatives. It’s getting to the point where it seems as though the only way to curb irresponsibility is automation of upgrades. However, I believe this would create more problems than solve. Since automation is not likely to occur, the responsibility falls back on you, the individual. Take that responsibility seriously.</p>\";s:7:\"pubdate\";s:31:\"Sat, 12 Sep 2009 16:00:50 +0000\";s:2:\"dc\";a:1:{s:7:\"creator\";s:13:\"Jeff Chandler\";}s:7:\"summary\";s:6869:\"<p>I’m pretty sure by now that you’ve heard about the worm attack on older versions of WordPress.

Sure, I’ve had times where some of the theme or plugin functionality broke because of a deprecated function or changed behaviour, but that’s about it. Generally if an upgrade breaks a site, it’s because of a poorly coded plugin or theme. I can’t believe this attitude that functionality trumps security. There are hundreds of plugins within the repository, if you’re afraid of one breaking or feel that it is not compatible with the upgrade, deactivate it until an update for it is available or use a replacement. Missing a small portion of functionality is better than having your entire site compromised.</p>\n<h2>But I Didn’t Know</h2>\n<p>This is by far the lamest excuse I’ve ever heard. When a new version of WordPress is released, here are the following ways you can find out.</p>\n<p>Log into your dashboard and look for a colored message in the top center of your screen which says something like <strong>WordPress X.X.X is available! Please Update Now</strong>. The link will take you to the one click auto ugprader.</p>\n<p>Activate the WordPress Development Blog dashboard widget. This will show you the latest posts from the WordPress development blog. If there is a new update, there will be a new post saying so.</p>\n<p>In the bottom right corner of the administration panel, there will be the text <strong>Get X.X.X</strong>. This is a link to the one click upgrader letting you know you’re running an out of date version.</p>\n<p>Follow the WordPress blog account on Twitter. @<a title=\"http://twitter.com/wordpress\" href=\"http://twitter.com/wordpress\" target=\"_blank\">wordpress</a> this account is managed by the WordPress team and usually will contain links to blog posts regarding new releases.</p>\n<p>Follow blogs that report on the happenings within the community. The WordPress community does a great job spreading the word when a new version is released.</p>\n<p>WordPress does maintain an announcement mailing list that you can subscribe to by checking a box in your WordPress forum profile but in my opinion, they have done a terrible job utilizing that list.</p>\n<h2>The Decisions You Make Today Shape Your Tomorrow</h2>\n<p>One question you should ask yourself before installing any theme or plugin is whether or not it will prevent you from upgrading. The same holds true for custom development work. A theme or plugin that is custom developed which does things in such a way that makes upgrading a pain means they developed it wrong. For starters, no one should ever hack any of the core files. Secondly, developers should use hooks and existing APIs to achieve functionality. If the functionality does not exist, they should create a ticket in Trac and request that a particular hook or API be added to core so core edits do not take place.</p>\n<h2>WordPress Can’t Do It All</h2>\n<p>WordPress has made it incredibly simple to upgrade with the addition of the one click upgrader yet so many still don’t seem to upgrade in a timely fashion. I realize the auto upgrader does not work for everyone but there are alternatives. It’s getting to the point where it seems as though the only way to curb irresponsibility is automation of upgrades. However, I believe this would create more problems than solve. Since automation is not likely to occur, the responsibility falls back on you, the individual. Take that responsibility seriously.</p>\";}i:16;a:7:{s:5:\"title\";s:45:\"Weblog Tools Collection: WordPress Cheatsheet\";s:4:\"guid\";s:74:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/09/11/wordpress-cheatsheet/\";s:4:\"link\";s:74:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/09/11/wordpress-cheatsheet/\";s:11:\"description\";s:636:\"<p><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page\" target=\"_blank\">WordPress Codex</a> has extensive documentation on the different template tags available for use in themes, but having a cheatsheet of all the available template tags can definitely come in handy.</p>\n<p>Ekin Ertac has created a really useful WordPress Cheatsheet that lists out all the available template tags and their purpose, along with listing several other useful information for creating or modifying themes.

But where does WordPress fit into it? If you’ve done any amount of WordPress plugin browsing within the last few years you’ve undoubtedly come across at least one or two so-called social bookmarking plugins. You can find them on an increasingly large amount of websites all across the web. Today I want to talk about the best of the best. The best plugins I’ve found for social bookmarking with WordPress.</p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sociable/\">Sociable</a><br />\nI chose Sociable as my #1 social bookmarking plugin because of its utter simplicity and easy control over the look and feel of the overall output. Most social bookmarking plugins I’ve come across have a pre-defined way of outputting the bookmarking links that is not as easy to control. In fact, more and more plugins of this type are moving to a drop-down format with complicated CSS. I love Sociable because it only outputs what I want. Just the linked icons. Nothing more. I can customize it as much as I want very easily. It’s also not dependent on JavaScript which is a big plus as well.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/add-to-any/\">Add to Any</a><br />\nI’m sure most of you have heard of Add to Any. It’s actually one of the most popular social bookmarking plugins around. Going by statistics, it’s actually the most popular social bookmarking plugin in the WordPress Extend repository at this time. If I wasn’t using Sociable I would most definitely be using Add to Any. Its wealth of features is the big attraction point for me with this particular plugin. It seems to have it all.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/share-this/\">ShareThis</a><br />\nShareThis is another great one. It has a wealth of features as well. What’s really great about it is its advanced statistics. You can get detailed info on the different social bookmarks used from your site, what is most popular, and much more. I actually used this plugin for a long time on <a href=\"http://www.jamesdimick.com/\">my personal site</a>.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/addthis/\">AddThis</a><br />\nI’ve seen AddThis used all over. It actually has a pretty recognizable interface. I think some people may prefer using the same social bookmarking tool on the sites they visit. I have used this plugin before and it was pretty nice. Just not my cup of tea. It has all the functionality you would expect and also has some statistic functionality. Much like ShareThis you can see how different social sites are performing and what content is most popular.</li>\n<li><a href=\"http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/free-tell-a-friend/\">Tell A Friend</a><br />\nTell A Friend is another plugin that uses a website service as its engine. You can add the user interface to your site and allow social bookmarking as well as a Tell a Friend area and an Add to Favorites option.

It’s the first time I’ve been seriously sick in well over 5 years. A bug infected my son on Wednesday, but he got over it quickly enough. Then the same bug hit my wife and I on Sunday morning and we’re just getting over it now.</p>\n<p>Odd that a worm attacks software I work on and I get very sick at the same time. Unfortunately I couldn’t run an <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL29jYW9pbWguaWUvZXhwbG9pdC1zY2FubmVyLw==\">exploit scanner</a> and remove the bug but my body’s defenses took care of the bugs eventually.</p>\n<p>All this leads me to a handy little plugin called <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3dvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcvZXh0ZW5kL3BsdWdpbnMvdXBncmFkZS1ub3RpZmljYXRpb24tYnktZW1haWwv\">Upgrade Notification by Email</a> written by <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tdXp1bmd1LnBsL21vamUtcGx1Z2lueS1kby13b3JkcHJlc3NhL3VwZ3JhZGUtbm90aWZpY2F0aW9uLWJ5LWVtYWlsLw==\">Konrad Karpieszuk</a>. Install it on your blogs and it will check once a day if a new version of WordPress is out. When that happens it will email the admin with a message saying the blog must be upgraded.</p>\n<p>It’s odd that the plugin itself contacts WordPress.org instead of relying on the built-in version checker but it’s only one request a day.</p>\n<p>What I’d like to see next is a direct link to the upgrade page on the blog.</p>\n<p>Far more challenging would be a plugin to auto upgrade a blog. In case a theme or plugin breaks things the plugin should probably deactivate all plugins and change the theme back to the default theme. Once the upgrade is complete, all plugins should be reactivated and the theme too. The admin has to be emailed before and after the upgrade.</p>\n<p>It’s easy to say what it should do, but doing it is another thing altogether.

It’s the first time I’ve been seriously sick in well over 5 years. A bug infected my son on Wednesday, but he got over it quickly enough. Then the same bug hit my wife and I on Sunday morning and we’re just getting over it now.</p>\n<p>Odd that a worm attacks software I work on and I get very sick at the same time. Unfortunately I couldn’t run an <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL29jYW9pbWguaWUvZXhwbG9pdC1zY2FubmVyLw==\">exploit scanner</a> and remove the bug but my body’s defenses took care of the bugs eventually.</p>\n<p>All this leads me to a handy little plugin called <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3dvcmRwcmVzcy5vcmcvZXh0ZW5kL3BsdWdpbnMvdXBncmFkZS1ub3RpZmljYXRpb24tYnktZW1haWwv\">Upgrade Notification by Email</a> written by <a href=\"http://ocaoimh.ie/wp-content/plugins/feed-statistics.php?url=aHR0cDovL3d3dy5tdXp1bmd1LnBsL21vamUtcGx1Z2lueS1kby13b3JkcHJlc3NhL3VwZ3JhZGUtbm90aWZpY2F0aW9uLWJ5LWVtYWlsLw==\">Konrad Karpieszuk</a>. Install it on your blogs and it will check once a day if a new version of WordPress is out. When that happens it will email the admin with a message saying the blog must be upgraded.</p>\n<p>It’s odd that the plugin itself contacts WordPress.org instead of relying on the built-in version checker but it’s only one request a day.</p>\n<p>What I’d like to see next is a direct link to the upgrade page on the blog.</p>\n<p>Far more challenging would be a plugin to auto upgrade a blog. In case a theme or plugin breaks things the plugin should probably deactivate all plugins and change the theme back to the default theme. Once the upgrade is complete, all plugins should be reactivated and the theme too. The admin has to be emailed before and after the upgrade.</p>\n<p>It’s easy to say what it should do, but doing it is another thing altogether. The reactivation process has to be sandboxed in case of failure so the plugin doesn’t die. The plugins page already does this so at least there’s example code to work from.

The registerProcedure attribute is the XML-RPC method to be called if the protocol attribute was xmlrpc. Since the plugin uses http-post for the protocol the registerProcedure field is blank.</p>\n<p>Using this same example here is a small chunk of PHP code that uses the cURL library to sign up for notifications:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">\n$curl = curl_init();\n\ncurl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, \'http://josephscott.org/?rsscloud=notify\' );\ncurl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, \'notifyProcedure=&protocol=http-post&port=80&path=/~joseph/rsscloud/&url1=http://josephscott.org/feed/\' );\ncurl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_VERBOSE, 1);\ncurl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, 1);\n\ncurl_exec( $curl );\nprint_r( curl_getinfo( $curl ) );\ncurl_close( $curl );\n</pre>\n<p>This code sends an HTTP POST request to http://josephscott.org/?rsscloud=notify asking to get a notification when the http://josephscott.org/feed/ feed is updated. The notification is to be sent to the remote IP used in the request (this means notification requests must be sent from the IP that will be receiving the notifications), port 80 with a path of /~joseph/rsscloud/ and it will be given the update data via an HTTP POST. The notification script will get $_POST data that looks like:</p>\n<pre class=\"brush: php;\">\nArray\n(\n [url] => http://josephscott.org/feed/\n)\n</pre>\n<p>It is then up to notification script to turn around fetch the updated feed.</p>\n<h3>How fast does all this happen?</h3>\n<p>It depends :-)</p>\n<p>On WordPress.com the notifications happen through the <a href=\"http://code.trac.wordpress.org/\">jobs system</a>, which means it will be sent out very, very quickly. On a WordPress.org powered blog with the plugin it schedules notifications to get sent out as soon as possible with the <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_schedule_single_event\">wp_schedule_single_event( )</a> function. Scheduled events in WordPress are checked on each page load, so if you publish a new post and then view it on the front page of your blog the notifications will get sent out in pretty quick.</p>\n<p>I think for most blogs these approaches will work fine and send out notifications with very little delay.</p>\n<h3>What does this mean for feed readers like Bloglines, Google Reader, etc.?</h3>\n<p>I believe that many (most?) public feed readers like Bloglines and Google Reader already listen for feed updates via pings (like those sent to <a href=\"http://pingomatic.com/\">Ping-O-Matic</a>). With an RSSCloud enabled WordPress blog they can register for updates to specific feeds. Why would they do this if they are already getting ping updates? Unfortunately the ping updates are similar to email, they have massive amounts of spam in them. Since RSSCloud isn’t a stream of everything, but a specific request for specific updates they could sign up for updates to those feeds that they believe are more likely to be legitimate.</p>\n<p>Signing up is simple for a feed reader (or anyone/thing) to do:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Look for the <cloud> element in the RSS feed</li>\n<li>Sign up for notifications using the data from the <cloud> element</li>\n<li>Process notification that are sent to it from WordPress</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Right now I believe the only feed reader that supports RSSCloud is <a href=\"http://www.scripting.com/\">Dave Winer</a>’s <a href=\"http://newsriver.org/river2\">River2</a>.</p>\n<p>If you are working on RSSCloud support in your feed reader <a href=\"http://josephscott.org/contact/\">let me know</a>, I’ll be watching the RSSCloud stats on WordPress.com.

have a role to write articles, someone else has a role to look over it and edit and deem as feasible for reading, but what does the role I have mean?</em> </p>\n<p><strong>Meta:</strong> Words or phrases marked in <em>italic</em> will be explained in future posts.</p>\n<p>You have a role of doing something wherever you are at or at whichever position you are, those roles are pre-defined and involve certain things that you can do and cannot do, some times we do break rules, however with software we usually cannot.</p>\n<p>Likewise with WordPress there are some roles that are pre-defined and have certain capabilities that you can use to assign to members of your site, in this post we will look at those roles and know what each of them mean.</p>\n<h3>Subscriber Role</h3>\n<p><strong>What is Subscriber Role?</strong></p>\n<p>A subscriber role is the most basic and default role that is assigned to any user that registers to the site, unless you of course change that by <a href=\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/07/12/optimizing-wordpress-settings/\" target=\"_blank\">tweaking the settings</a>.</p>\n<p>A subscriber can comment on your blog without having to enter their details and also modify your database by setting up their profiles.</p>\n<p><strong>Best Practices for Subscriber Role?</strong></p>\n<p>Subscriber role is suited best for users whom you want to register to your site and comment without having to enter their details everytime, in addition to that you can also use this role to promote special offers and more, but it may require additional coding or plugins.</p>\n<p><strong>Subscriber Role in WordPress;</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>Modify their Profiles </li>\n<li>Comment on the blog (when logged in) without having to provide name and email, unless you change that in the settings. </li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Subscriber Role to?</strong></p>\n<p>Subscriber Role can be open to everyone who wants to save sometime while entering their details over and over again while commenting and various other things you reserve for subscribers, however they need to be logged in, this role is best suited for every user on your site, and every other roles on your site has all the capabilities that this user has.</p>\n<h3>Contributor Role</h3>\n<p><strong>Who is a Contributor?</strong></p>\n<p>A Contributor to your site has a bigger role than a regular subscriber in the sense that they can compose articles unlike subscribers, however they cannot publish or schedule the articles.</p>\n<p>Any article written by a contributor can be saved <em>as draft or under pending review</em> which we will look at when we deal with “<em>Types of Posts a WordPress site can have and what it means</em>”.</p>\n<p>A contributor can only contribute towards the site, however they do not have rights to publish a article.</p>\n<p><strong>Best Practices for Contributor Role?</strong></p>\n<p>A contributor role is best given to someone who wants to contribute to your site by adding new articles, but which you would like to go over before publishing.</p>\n<p><strong>Contributor Role In WordPress;</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>All of the Subscribers privileges+ </li>\n<li>View comments in the administrator panel. </li>\n<li>Add new posts to drafts or to pending review. </li>\n<li>Edit their own posts. </li>\n<li>View posts added by others in post listing section, however they cannot view drafts and scheduled post, but they can see the titles. </li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Contributor Role to?</strong></p>\n<p>Contributor roles should be assigned to those users who want to post articles to your site, however you still need to go over them before you <em>publish them, </em>this means that everything they write will go through you before it hits your site.</p>\n<h3>Author Role</h3>\n<p><strong>Who is a Author?</strong></p>\n<p>Author is a well known term and it has the same meaning in WordPress, a author can write articles, add it up as pending review, save it under drafts but more importantly they can publish what they write.</p>\n<p>Yes publish it, which means, whoever you assign an author role can publish articles to the site without having your consent.</p>\n<p><strong>Best Practices for Author Role</strong></p>\n<p>You can give the role of an author to people who can add and publish articles to the site without having to ask for your review, once you give a role of a author they do not have to go through the pending preview cycle to publish, so you might not have a control over what gets published.</p>\n<p>This role requires a bit of trust as they can publish <em>anything </em>(not explained) to your site without your knowledge.</p>\n<p><strong>Author Role in WordPress;</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>All of the Contributor privileges+ </li>\n<li>View posts added by others in post listing section, however they cannot view drafts and scheduled post, but they can see the titles. </li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Author Roles To?</strong></p>\n<p>In a hierarchy you would always want to go through top level, however once you assign a role of a author to someone, it bypasses that and it does not require checks, so you should only assign this role to people who you trust can write good articles for your site, if you feel otherwise you should always put them in the contributor role.</p>\n<h3>Editor Role</h3>\n<p>The Editor role can do all of the above, but in addition to that, they can edit other’s post (which is what a editor does) and change anything in anyone else’s post, however WordPress logs who edited which post and when (if you have <em>post reviews</em> on), so you need to <em>turn post revision on</em> which we will look at in future posts.</p>\n<p>However when you assign the role of an editor to someone, you virtually give control over everything that is published on your blog to them, so do this very carefully and thoughtfully.</p>\n<p>WordPress does not have a role between an author and a editor which is really wanted, but you can actually restrict roles by using several plugins.</p>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Editor Roles To?</strong></p>\n<p>If an author can write and publish articles, an editor can write articles, publish them, edit them, they can do the same for any other author or editor on the site, this means that the person whom you assign as a editor has all the rights except for administrative which we will see <em>next</em>.</p>\n<p>This role should only be assigned when you are entirely sure you want to do it and except for administrative privileges it has every other privileges a newspaper or magazine editor has.</p>\n<h3>Administrator Role</h3>\n<p>I have a key to your house and I can do anything with it, virtually a administrative role is just like that, once you assign a role of a admin to someone, they can do as they like, so this role should <strong>*NEVER*</strong> be assigned to anyone other than yourself, if you do need to do that, make sure you assign it to someone who you trust.</p>\n<p>An administrator account can <strong>DELETE</strong> your entire blog, they can <strong>DELETE</strong> all comments, in short they can ruin everything you created in couple of clicks.</p>\n<p>That aside an admin user on a WordPress blog is responsible for upgrading the blog, upgrading plugins, moderating comments among other things that all of the above roles add up to, so this is a role you should <em>never assign to anyone </em>(not explained) unless you are certain of what you are doing.</p>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Admin Roles To?</strong></p>\n<p>No one, unless you are really sure what you want to do with your blog.</p>\n<h3>Which Role Can Be Used and When In Simple Words</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A subscriber role should be used when you want people who comment on your blog to not enter their information over and over again. </li>\n<li>A contributor role should be used when you want your subscribers to contribute to your site, but don’t want to directly publish articles to your site. </li>\n<li>An author role should be used when you trust a contributor or someone you think will write the best, without you having to go through what they wrote. </li>\n<li>An editor role should only be given to people who you trust to write, edit and publish not just their own articles but those of other’s too. </li>\n<li>An administrator role <strong><em>should never</em></strong> be given to anyone other than yourself, this is the most critical role and can rule the roost, and it does, but only if you hold it yourself. </li>\n</ul>\n<p>All your comments, suggestions and critiques are more than welcome, it helps us improve.</p>\n<p><em>P.S.

a bit of trust as they can publish <em>anything </em>(not explained) to your site without your knowledge.</p>\n<p><strong>Author Role in WordPress;</strong></p>\n<ul>\n<li>All of the Contributor privileges+ </li>\n<li>View posts added by others in post listing section, however they cannot view drafts and scheduled post, but they can see the titles. </li>\n</ul>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Author Roles To?</strong></p>\n<p>In a hierarchy you would always want to go through top level, however once you assign a role of a author to someone, it bypasses that and it does not require checks, so you should only assign this role to people who you trust can write good articles for your site, if you feel otherwise you should always put them in the contributor role.</p>\n<h3>Editor Role</h3>\n<p>The Editor role can do all of the above, but in addition to that, they can edit other’s post (which is what a editor does) and change anything in anyone else’s post, however WordPress logs who edited which post and when (if you have <em>post reviews</em> on), so you need to <em>turn post revision on</em> which we will look at in future posts.</p>\n<p>However when you assign the role of an editor to someone, you virtually give control over everything that is published on your blog to them, so do this very carefully and thoughtfully.</p>\n<p>WordPress does not have a role between an author and a editor which is really wanted, but you can actually restrict roles by using several plugins.</p>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Editor Roles To?</strong></p>\n<p>If an author can write and publish articles, an editor can write articles, publish them, edit them, they can do the same for any other author or editor on the site, this means that the person whom you assign as a editor has all the rights except for administrative which we will see <em>next</em>.</p>\n<p>This role should only be assigned when you are entirely sure you want to do it and except for administrative privileges it has every other privileges a newspaper or magazine editor has.</p>\n<h3>Administrator Role</h3>\n<p>I have a key to your house and I can do anything with it, virtually a administrative role is just like that, once you assign a role of a admin to someone, they can do as they like, so this role should <strong>*NEVER*</strong> be assigned to anyone other than yourself, if you do need to do that, make sure you assign it to someone who you trust.</p>\n<p>An administrator account can <strong>DELETE</strong> your entire blog, they can <strong>DELETE</strong> all comments, in short they can ruin everything you created in couple of clicks.</p>\n<p>That aside an admin user on a WordPress blog is responsible for upgrading the blog, upgrading plugins, moderating comments among other things that all of the above roles add up to, so this is a role you should <em>never assign to anyone </em>(not explained) unless you are certain of what you are doing.</p>\n<p><strong>Who Should You Assign Admin Roles To?</strong></p>\n<p>No one, unless you are really sure what you want to do with your blog.</p>\n<h3>Which Role Can Be Used and When In Simple Words</h3>\n<ul>\n<li>A subscriber role should be used when you want people who comment on your blog to not enter their information over and over again. </li>\n<li>A contributor role should be used when you want your subscribers to contribute to your site, but don’t want to directly publish articles to your site. </li>\n<li>An author role should be used when you trust a contributor or someone you think will write the best, without you having to go through what they wrote. </li>\n<li>An editor role should only be given to people who you trust to write, edit and publish not just their own articles but those of other’s too. </li>\n<li>An administrator role <strong><em>should never</em></strong> be given to anyone other than yourself, this is the most critical role and can rule the roost, and it does, but only if you hold it yourself. </li>\n</ul>\n<p>All your comments, suggestions and critiques are more than welcome, it helps us improve.</p>\n<p><em>P.S.

I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag, but it’s true advice for bloggers as well — a little bit of work on an <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">upgrade now</a> saves a lot of work fixing something later.</p>\n<p>Right now there is a worm making its way around old, unpatched versions of WordPress. This particular worm, like many before it, is clever: it registers a user, uses a security bug (fixed earlier in the year) to allow evaluated code to be executed through the permalink structure, makes itself an admin, then uses JavaScript to hide itself when you look at users page, attempts to clean up after itself, then goes quiet so you never notice while it inserts hidden spam and malware into your old posts.</p>\n<p>The tactics are new, but the strategy is not. Where this particular worm messes up is in the “clean up” phase: it doesn’t hide itself well and the blogger notices that all his links are broken, which causes him to dig deeper and notice the extent of the damage. Where worms of old would do childish things like defacing your site, the new ones are silent and invisible, so you only notice them when they screw up (as this one did) or your site gets removed from Google for having spam and malware on it.</p>\n<p>I’m talking about this not to scare you, but to highlight that this is something that has happened before, and that will more than likely happen again.</p>\n<p>A stitch in time saves nine. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">Upgrading is a known quantity of work</a>, and one that the WordPress community has tried its darndest to make as easy as possible with one-click upgrades. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\">Fixing a hacked blog, on the other hand, is quite hard</a>. Upgrading is taking your vitamins; fixing a hack is open heart surgery. (This is true of cost, as well.)</p>\n<p>2.8.4, the current version of WordPress, is immune to this worm. (<em>So was the release before this one.</em>) If you’ve been thinking about upgrading but haven’t gotten around to it yet, now would be a really good time. If you’ve already upgraded your blogs, maybe check out the blogs of your friends or that you read and see if they need any help. A stitch in time saves nine.</p>\n<p>Whenever a worm makes the rounds, everyone becomes a security expert and peddles one of three types of advice: snake oil, Club solutions, or real solutions. Snake oil you’ll be able to spot right away because it’s <em>easy</em>. Hide the WordPress version, they say, and you’ll be fine. Uh, duh, the worm writers thought of that. Where their 1.0 might have checked for version numbers, 2.0 just tests capabilities, version number be damned. </p>\n<p>The second type of advice is Club solutions; to illustrate, I’ll quote from <a href=\"http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/10/29/club_vs_lojack_solutions\">Mark Pilgrim’s excellent essay on spam 7 years ago, before WordPress even existed</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The <em>really</em> interesting thing about these approaches, from a game theory perspective, is that they are all <a href=\"http://slate.msn.com/?id=2041\" title=\"Slate, August 3, 1997: Property Is Theft: When protecting your own property is stealing from others\">Club solutions, not Lojack solutions</a>. There are two basic approaches to protecting your car from theft: <a href=\"http://www.theclub.com/\">The Club</a> (or The Shield, or a car alarm, or something similar), and <a href=\"http://www.lojack.com/\">Lojack</a>. The Club isn’t much protection against a thief who is determined to steal <em>your</em> car (it’s easy enough to drill the lock, or just cut the steering wheel and slide The Club off). But it is effective protection against a thief who wants to steal <em>a</em> car (not necessarily <em>your</em> car), because thieves are generally in a hurry and will go for the easiest target, the low-hanging fruit. The Club works as long as not everyone has it, since if everyone had it, thieves would have an equally difficult time stealing any car, their choice will be based on other factors, and your car is back to being as vulnerable as anyone else’s. The Club doesn’t deter theft, it only deflects it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Club blog security solutions can be simple (like an .htaccess file) or incredibly complex (like two-factor authentication), and they can work, especially for <em>known exploits</em>. Club solutions can be useful, like using a strong or complex password for your login — no one would recommend against that. (Another club solution is switching to less-used software on the assumption or more like the software’s claim that it’s perfect and more secure. This is why BeOS is more secure than Linux, ahem.)</p>\n<p>In the car world, if someone figured out how to teleport entire cars to chop shops, The Club wouldn’t be so useful anymore. Luckily for manufacturers of The Club, this hasn’t happened. Online and in the software world, though, the equivalent happens almost daily.

I couldn’t sew my way out of a bag, but it’s true advice for bloggers as well — a little bit of work on an <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">upgrade now</a> saves a lot of work fixing something later.</p>\n<p>Right now there is a worm making its way around old, unpatched versions of WordPress. This particular worm, like many before it, is clever: it registers a user, uses a security bug (fixed earlier in the year) to allow evaluated code to be executed through the permalink structure, makes itself an admin, then uses JavaScript to hide itself when you look at users page, attempts to clean up after itself, then goes quiet so you never notice while it inserts hidden spam and malware into your old posts.</p>\n<p>The tactics are new, but the strategy is not. Where this particular worm messes up is in the “clean up” phase: it doesn’t hide itself well and the blogger notices that all his links are broken, which causes him to dig deeper and notice the extent of the damage. Where worms of old would do childish things like defacing your site, the new ones are silent and invisible, so you only notice them when they screw up (as this one did) or your site gets removed from Google for having spam and malware on it.</p>\n<p>I’m talking about this not to scare you, but to highlight that this is something that has happened before, and that will more than likely happen again.</p>\n<p>A stitch in time saves nine. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\">Upgrading is a known quantity of work</a>, and one that the WordPress community has tried its darndest to make as easy as possible with one-click upgrades. <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\">Fixing a hacked blog, on the other hand, is quite hard</a>. Upgrading is taking your vitamins; fixing a hack is open heart surgery. (This is true of cost, as well.)</p>\n<p>2.8.4, the current version of WordPress, is immune to this worm. (<em>So was the release before this one.</em>) If you’ve been thinking about upgrading but haven’t gotten around to it yet, now would be a really good time. If you’ve already upgraded your blogs, maybe check out the blogs of your friends or that you read and see if they need any help. A stitch in time saves nine.</p>\n<p>Whenever a worm makes the rounds, everyone becomes a security expert and peddles one of three types of advice: snake oil, Club solutions, or real solutions. Snake oil you’ll be able to spot right away because it’s <em>easy</em>. Hide the WordPress version, they say, and you’ll be fine. Uh, duh, the worm writers thought of that. Where their 1.0 might have checked for version numbers, 2.0 just tests capabilities, version number be damned. </p>\n<p>The second type of advice is Club solutions; to illustrate, I’ll quote from <a href=\"http://diveintomark.org/archives/2002/10/29/club_vs_lojack_solutions\">Mark Pilgrim’s excellent essay on spam 7 years ago, before WordPress even existed</a>:</p>\n<blockquote><p>The <em>really</em> interesting thing about these approaches, from a game theory perspective, is that they are all <a href=\"http://slate.msn.com/?id=2041\" title=\"Slate, August 3, 1997: Property Is Theft: When protecting your own property is stealing from others\">Club solutions, not Lojack solutions</a>. There are two basic approaches to protecting your car from theft: <a href=\"http://www.theclub.com/\">The Club</a> (or The Shield, or a car alarm, or something similar), and <a href=\"http://www.lojack.com/\">Lojack</a>. The Club isn’t much protection against a thief who is determined to steal <em>your</em> car (it’s easy enough to drill the lock, or just cut the steering wheel and slide The Club off). But it is effective protection against a thief who wants to steal <em>a</em> car (not necessarily <em>your</em> car), because thieves are generally in a hurry and will go for the easiest target, the low-hanging fruit. The Club works as long as not everyone has it, since if everyone had it, thieves would have an equally difficult time stealing any car, their choice will be based on other factors, and your car is back to being as vulnerable as anyone else’s. The Club doesn’t deter theft, it only deflects it.</p></blockquote>\n<p>Club blog security solutions can be simple (like an .htaccess file) or incredibly complex (like two-factor authentication), and they can work, especially for <em>known exploits</em>. Club solutions can be useful, like using a strong or complex password for your login — no one would recommend against that. (Another club solution is switching to less-used software on the assumption or more like the software’s claim that it’s perfect and more secure. This is why BeOS is more secure than Linux, ahem.)</p>\n<p>In the car world, if someone figured out how to teleport entire cars to chop shops, The Club wouldn’t be so useful anymore. Luckily for manufacturers of The Club, this hasn’t happened. Online and in the software world, though, the equivalent happens almost daily. There is only one real solution. <strong>The only thing that I can promise will keep your blog secure today and in the future is upgrading.</strong></p>\n<p>WordPress is a community of hundreds of people that read the code every day, audit it, update it, and care enough about keeping your blog safe that we do things like release updates weeks apart from each other even though it makes us look bad, because updating is going to keep your blog safe from the bad guys.

The number of sites hit by this is growing every hour. Protect your WordPress blog now: <strong>UPDATE NOW!!!</strong></p>\n<p><em>Update your WordPress blog before you continue reading this post. That’s how critical this issue is.</em></p>\n<h3>Things You Need to Know Now</h3>\n<p>Here is what you need to know right now, constantly updated with news as we get it. </p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>UPDATE NOW!</strong> Reports are that this attack impacts ALL versions of WordPress up to 2.8.3 and 2.8.4, the most recent release.</li>\n<li><strong>Report from WordPress on Attack:</strong> <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/09/keep-wordpress-secure/\" title=\"How to Keep WordPress Secure\">How to Keep WordPress Secure</a>. Information on the most recent update of WordPress that prevented this attack on updated WordPress sites: <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/2-8-4-security-release/\" title=\"WordPress 2.8.4: Security Release\">WordPress 2.8.4: Security Release</a>.</li>\n<li><strong>Which Version of WordPress is Secure?</strong> I’ve just talked to Matt Mullenweg and have a better understanding of the version confusion. When this worm first hit the web, WordPress released 2.8.3 to deal with it. Since then, WordPress 2.8.4 was released, unrelated to the worm. Once the worm has infected your site, surface fixes do not remove the “back door” the worm injects into your database and system, as happened with <a href=\"http://friendfeed.com/scobleizer/cd43c6c3/i-dont-feel-safe-with-wordpress-hackers-broke-in\">Robert Scoble</a>. Once infected, upgrading does not fix the issue, so those reporting they were now infected after upgrading, were infected before upgrading. Versions after WordPress 2.8.3 are safe, but upgrade to 2.8.4 anyway as it included other fixes.</li>\n<li><strong>What Version Am I Using?</strong> If you are using a WordPress version after 2.7, the nag screen on the WordPress Administration Panels will alert you to upgrade. If you are using an older version, <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\" title=\"upgrade now\">upgrade now</a>. Don’t know what version you are using? Without a nag screen to tell you to update, you’re using an old version. Checking the Administration Panels footer will help, but don’t waste time looking. Just <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\" title=\"upgrade now\">update now</a>!</li>\n<li><strong>Use a WordPress Plugin for Protection:</strong> Do not rely upon a WordPress Plugin to protect you. There are many reports of Plugins that will “help” in the comments. While they might help in other ways, please upgrade now. That is the only solution if your site has not been impacted.</li>\n<li><strong>How Does This Worm Work?</strong> We’re awaiting details from security experts on how this worm works. Personally, I’m waiting for the name of this thing since that does make searching for details on this worm easier. Anyone got a name for it yet? Since it isn’t exclusive to WordPress, calling it the WordPress Worm would not be appropriate. <img src=\"http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /> </li>\n<li><strong>WordPress is Not Secure:</strong> WordPress is incredibly secure and monitored constantly by experts in web security. This attack was well anticipated and so far, WordPress 2.8.4 is holding. If necessary, WordPress will immediately release a update with further security improvements. WordPress is used by governments, huge corporations, and me, around the world. Millions of bloggers are using WordPress.com. Have faith they are working overtime to monitor this situation and protect your blog.</li>\n<li><strong>Fear of Upgrading:</strong> This attack is serious enough to overcome all your fears of updating. If older WordPress Plugins are holding you back, update them to the latest version or replace them with new. If your Theme might break, contact the Theme author and update or replace it. There are thousands of free Themes to choose from, probably some better than what you are using. If you are using a recent version of WordPress, updating is as easy as clicking a couple buttons. If you are using an older version, download the most recent version and upgrade now.</li>\n<li><strong>Other Issues?</strong> Whatever your issue is that keeps you from updating WordPress, get over it and update now to protect your site.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>When we have updated news, we’ll add them to this post and/or post a new article.</p>\n<h3>How Do I Know If My Site Has Already Been Attacked?</h3>\n<p>There are two clues that your WordPress site has been attacked. </p>\n<p>There are strange additions to the pretty permalinks, such as <code>example.com/category/post-title/%&(%7B$%7Beval(base64_decode($_SERVER%5BHTTP_REFERER%5D))%7D%7D|.+)&%/</code>. The keywords are “eval” and “base64_decode.” </p>\n<p>The second clue is that a “back door” was created by a “hidden” Administrator. Check your site users for “Administrator (2)” or a name you do not recognize. You will probably be unable to access that account, but <a href=\"http://www.journeyetc.com/2009/09/04/wordpress-permalink-rss-problems/\" title=\"Journey Etc - WordPress Permalink RSS Problems\">Journey Etc. has a possible solution</a>. </p>\n<p><strong>WordPress.com blogs are not impacted as they are up-to-date. Only versions prior to WordPress 2.8.4 are impacted. </strong></p>\n<h3>To Prevent Your WordPress Blog from Attack</h3>\n<p>To prevent this form of attack, <strong>update your WordPress site IMMEDIATELY</strong> to the latest version. Change ALL passwords to a <a href=\"http://www.blogherald.com/2007/05/08/protect-your-blog-with-a-solid-password/\" title=\"Protect Your Blog With a Solid Password\">strong password</a> immediately, including WordPress blog access for all users, database, FTP, control panels, everything. </p>\n<p>See the articles below for more helpful information on how to harden and protect your WordPress blog.</p>\n<h3>If Your WordPress Blog Has Been Attacked</h3>\n<p>If your site has already been attacked, it appears that the hack attacks the database, going deep. You can find help in the <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\" title=\"WordPress Codex - FAQ - My Site Was Hacked\">WordPress Codex article on how to deal with a hacked WordPress site</a>.</p>\n<p>We’re looking for specific solutions, but the easiest appears to be to export all your content with the built-in XML WordPress export (pre 2.1 versions, try the <a title=\"WordPress-to-WordPress Import\" href=\"http://technosailor.com/2006/07/05/wordpress-to-wordpress-import/\">WordPress-to-WordPress Import WordPress Plugin</a>) and literally remove your WordPress installation totally (save images and general files). <strong>DO NOT EXPORT YOUR DATABASE!</strong> Install the latest version of WordPress and add the “clean” backup of your WordPress Theme, then import the XML export. The export will contain your posts, Pages, and comments, and hopefully no other hacked code.</p>\n<p>“<a href=\"http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/06/24/how-to-completely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/\" title=\"How To Completely Clean Your Hacked WordPress Installation\">How To Completely Clean Your Hacked WordPress Installation</a>” by Smackdown is a good article on how to reinstall WordPress after being hacked, but take care to keep your export limited to the post content and comments (and Pages), not the entire database as the hack goes into the database. </p>\n<h3>How to Respond to a WordPress Attack</h3>\n<p>WordPress has been requesting users update as soon as an update is released for several years. They also now have a excellent team to track down this issue and quickly protect WordPress with any necessary updates.</p>\n<p><em>Please blog and Twitter about the attacks.</em> It’s important that we spread the information throughout the WordPress Community as fast as possible, encouraging everyone to update WordPress. Take care not to promote rumors, just the facts, until we know more. </p>\n<p>If you have pertinent information that will help the WordPress team track down and stop this attack, please report it to <a href=\"mailto:security@wordpress.org\" title=\"Email WordPress Security\">security@wordpress.org</a>. </p>\n<p>Check the <a href=\"http://www.wordpress.org/support\" title=\"WordPress Support Forums\" rel=\"tag\">WordPress Support Forums</a> for more information and support. Also check for news and announcements on security issues and updates on the <a rel=\"tag\" title=\"WordPress Development Blog\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/\">WordPress Development Blog</a> and in your WordPress blog Dashboard Panel. </p>\n<p>Please, keep your WordPress site constantly updated. You are now informed of updates directly through the Administration Panels. Act upon it. </p>\n<p>Here are some other articles and information that may prove useful.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\" title=\"WordPress Codex - FAQ - My Site Was Hacked\">WordPress Codex – FAQ – My Site Was Hacked</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.journeyetc.com/2009/09/04/wordpress-permalink-rss-problems/\" title=\"Journey Etc -

The number of sites hit by this is growing every hour. Protect your WordPress blog now: <strong>UPDATE NOW!!!</strong></p>\n<p><em>Update your WordPress blog before you continue reading this post. That’s how critical this issue is.</em></p>\n<h3>Things You Need to Know Now</h3>\n<p>Here is what you need to know right now, constantly updated with news as we get it. </p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>UPDATE NOW!</strong> Reports are that this attack impacts ALL versions of WordPress up to 2.8.3 and 2.8.4, the most recent release.</li>\n<li><strong>Report from WordPress on Attack:</strong> <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/09/keep-wordpress-secure/\" title=\"How to Keep WordPress Secure\">How to Keep WordPress Secure</a>. Information on the most recent update of WordPress that prevented this attack on updated WordPress sites: <a href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/2009/08/2-8-4-security-release/\" title=\"WordPress 2.8.4: Security Release\">WordPress 2.8.4: Security Release</a>.</li>\n<li><strong>Which Version of WordPress is Secure?</strong> I’ve just talked to Matt Mullenweg and have a better understanding of the version confusion. When this worm first hit the web, WordPress released 2.8.3 to deal with it. Since then, WordPress 2.8.4 was released, unrelated to the worm. Once the worm has infected your site, surface fixes do not remove the “back door” the worm injects into your database and system, as happened with <a href=\"http://friendfeed.com/scobleizer/cd43c6c3/i-dont-feel-safe-with-wordpress-hackers-broke-in\">Robert Scoble</a>. Once infected, upgrading does not fix the issue, so those reporting they were now infected after upgrading, were infected before upgrading. Versions after WordPress 2.8.3 are safe, but upgrade to 2.8.4 anyway as it included other fixes.</li>\n<li><strong>What Version Am I Using?</strong> If you are using a WordPress version after 2.7, the nag screen on the WordPress Administration Panels will alert you to upgrade. If you are using an older version, <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\" title=\"upgrade now\">upgrade now</a>. Don’t know what version you are using? Without a nag screen to tell you to update, you’re using an old version. Checking the Administration Panels footer will help, but don’t waste time looking. Just <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading_WordPress\" title=\"upgrade now\">update now</a>!</li>\n<li><strong>Use a WordPress Plugin for Protection:</strong> Do not rely upon a WordPress Plugin to protect you. There are many reports of Plugins that will “help” in the comments. While they might help in other ways, please upgrade now. That is the only solution if your site has not been impacted.</li>\n<li><strong>How Does This Worm Work?</strong> We’re awaiting details from security experts on how this worm works. Personally, I’m waiting for the name of this thing since that does make searching for details on this worm easier. Anyone got a name for it yet? Since it isn’t exclusive to WordPress, calling it the WordPress Worm would not be appropriate. <img src=\"http://s.wordpress.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif\" alt=\":D\" class=\"wp-smiley\" /> </li>\n<li><strong>WordPress is Not Secure:</strong> WordPress is incredibly secure and monitored constantly by experts in web security. This attack was well anticipated and so far, WordPress 2.8.4 is holding. If necessary, WordPress will immediately release a update with further security improvements. WordPress is used by governments, huge corporations, and me, around the world. Millions of bloggers are using WordPress.com. Have faith they are working overtime to monitor this situation and protect your blog.</li>\n<li><strong>Fear of Upgrading:</strong> This attack is serious enough to overcome all your fears of updating. If older WordPress Plugins are holding you back, update them to the latest version or replace them with new. If your Theme might break, contact the Theme author and update or replace it. There are thousands of free Themes to choose from, probably some better than what you are using. If you are using a recent version of WordPress, updating is as easy as clicking a couple buttons. If you are using an older version, download the most recent version and upgrade now.</li>\n<li><strong>Other Issues?</strong> Whatever your issue is that keeps you from updating WordPress, get over it and update now to protect your site.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>When we have updated news, we’ll add them to this post and/or post a new article.</p>\n<h3>How Do I Know If My Site Has Already Been Attacked?</h3>\n<p>There are two clues that your WordPress site has been attacked. </p>\n<p>There are strange additions to the pretty permalinks, such as <code>example.com/category/post-title/%&(%7B$%7Beval(base64_decode($_SERVER%5BHTTP_REFERER%5D))%7D%7D|.+)&%/</code>. The keywords are “eval” and “base64_decode.” </p>\n<p>The second clue is that a “back door” was created by a “hidden” Administrator. Check your site users for “Administrator (2)” or a name you do not recognize. You will probably be unable to access that account, but <a href=\"http://www.journeyetc.com/2009/09/04/wordpress-permalink-rss-problems/\" title=\"Journey Etc - WordPress Permalink RSS Problems\">Journey Etc. has a possible solution</a>. </p>\n<p><strong>WordPress.com blogs are not impacted as they are up-to-date. Only versions prior to WordPress 2.8.4 are impacted. </strong></p>\n<h3>To Prevent Your WordPress Blog from Attack</h3>\n<p>To prevent this form of attack, <strong>update your WordPress site IMMEDIATELY</strong> to the latest version. Change ALL passwords to a <a href=\"http://www.blogherald.com/2007/05/08/protect-your-blog-with-a-solid-password/\" title=\"Protect Your Blog With a Solid Password\">strong password</a> immediately, including WordPress blog access for all users, database, FTP, control panels, everything. </p>\n<p>See the articles below for more helpful information on how to harden and protect your WordPress blog.</p>\n<h3>If Your WordPress Blog Has Been Attacked</h3>\n<p>If your site has already been attacked, it appears that the hack attacks the database, going deep. You can find help in the <a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\" title=\"WordPress Codex - FAQ - My Site Was Hacked\">WordPress Codex article on how to deal with a hacked WordPress site</a>.</p>\n<p>We’re looking for specific solutions, but the easiest appears to be to export all your content with the built-in XML WordPress export (pre 2.1 versions, try the <a title=\"WordPress-to-WordPress Import\" href=\"http://technosailor.com/2006/07/05/wordpress-to-wordpress-import/\">WordPress-to-WordPress Import WordPress Plugin</a>) and literally remove your WordPress installation totally (save images and general files). <strong>DO NOT EXPORT YOUR DATABASE!</strong> Install the latest version of WordPress and add the “clean” backup of your WordPress Theme, then import the XML export. The export will contain your posts, Pages, and comments, and hopefully no other hacked code.</p>\n<p>“<a href=\"http://smackdown.blogsblogsblogs.com/2008/06/24/how-to-completely-clean-your-hacked-wordpress-installation/\" title=\"How To Completely Clean Your Hacked WordPress Installation\">How To Completely Clean Your Hacked WordPress Installation</a>” by Smackdown is a good article on how to reinstall WordPress after being hacked, but take care to keep your export limited to the post content and comments (and Pages), not the entire database as the hack goes into the database. </p>\n<h3>How to Respond to a WordPress Attack</h3>\n<p>WordPress has been requesting users update as soon as an update is released for several years. They also now have a excellent team to track down this issue and quickly protect WordPress with any necessary updates.</p>\n<p><em>Please blog and Twitter about the attacks.</em> It’s important that we spread the information throughout the WordPress Community as fast as possible, encouraging everyone to update WordPress. Take care not to promote rumors, just the facts, until we know more. </p>\n<p>If you have pertinent information that will help the WordPress team track down and stop this attack, please report it to <a href=\"mailto:security@wordpress.org\" title=\"Email WordPress Security\">security@wordpress.org</a>. </p>\n<p>Check the <a href=\"http://www.wordpress.org/support\" title=\"WordPress Support Forums\" rel=\"tag\">WordPress Support Forums</a> for more information and support. Also check for news and announcements on security issues and updates on the <a rel=\"tag\" title=\"WordPress Development Blog\" href=\"http://wordpress.org/development/\">WordPress Development Blog</a> and in your WordPress blog Dashboard Panel. </p>\n<p>Please, keep your WordPress site constantly updated. You are now informed of updates directly through the Administration Panels. Act upon it. </p>\n<p>Here are some other articles and information that may prove useful.</p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_My_site_was_hacked\" title=\"WordPress Codex - FAQ - My Site Was Hacked\">WordPress Codex – FAQ – My Site Was Hacked</a></li>\n<li><a href=\"http://www.journeyetc.com/2009/09/04/wordpress-permalink-rss-problems/\" title=\"Journey Etc -

We are also interested in hearing about how you use the application, and what workflow changes would make the application more useful to you.</p>\n<p>Of course, if you should happen to find a bug, please let us know the exact steps to reproduce it, and post that info to the <a href=\"http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/\">forums</a>. If we can reproduce the bug, we can squish it!</p>\n<p>Thanks — and have fun!</p>\n<p>Update: We appreciate the many responses we received! All the available spaces are full, but we’re working hard to have the next version available on the App Store as soon as we can. The app has been sent to testers who are <a href=\"http://iphone.forums.wordpress.org/forum/beta-testing-feedback\">putting it through the paces</a> right now.</p>\n <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gocomments/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/comments/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godelicious/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/delicious/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/gostumble/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/stumble/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/godigg/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/digg/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\" /></a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/goreddit/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\"><img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://feeds.wordpress.com/1.0/reddit/wpiphone.wordpress.com/430/\" /></a> <img alt=\"\" border=\"0\" src=\"http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=iphone.wordpress.org&blog=3882653&post=430&subd=wpiphone&ref=&feed=1\" /></div>\";}i:40;a:7:{s:5:\"title\";s:43:\"Weblog Tools Collection: Write with a Knife\";s:4:\"guid\";s:40:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/?p=6676\";s:4:\"link\";s:72:\"http://weblogtoolscollection.com/archives/2009/09/03/write-with-a-knife/\";s:11:\"description\";s:1359:\"<p><a href=\"http://www.copyblogger.com/write-with-a-knife/\">How to Write with a Knife</a>: I have been a big fan of CopyBlogger for some time and I try to read their articles as often as I can, though not as often as I would like to.
