Great Blog

Posted on January 12, 2008 by Peter

My sister in-law just moved from New York City to Madison, Wisc., and she has started a blog to share her experiences moving from one of the biggest cities in the world, to a decent size city in the Midwest.

You can find her posts at Big Apple Cheese.

The writing is great and the posts are pretty interesting describing the differences between the two cities.

Take some time and enjoy.

There is a security update for WordPress, version 2.3.2.

According to their post today, it fixes some urgent security problems.

WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Get 2.3.2 now to protect your blog from these disclosures.

New Theme for Blog

Posted on December 28, 2007 by Peter

I have a new theme for this blog.

I am using Blue Zinfandel theme by Brian Gardner.

It looks sharp and I like it. I just need to figure out how to add a photo to the top of it. I’ll see how I can do that over the next week.

Let me know what you think.

Twitter

Well I am trying Twitter to see how it works.

I have resisted it so far, but the ease it provides to publish quick thoughts and rambles makes it easy to use.

I am still going back and forth trying to decide if Twitter or Pownce is better, but for now, it is Twitter. Who knows, I might use both.

I have installed Twitter Tools by Alex King and will be using that. It looks the most functional and provides the best services.

Let me know what you think and let me know if you prefer Twitter or Pownce and why.
