    Recently, there was a malicious attack on GoDaddy-hosted sites. It’s tough to track down the exact date of the original attack — I was first able to find a mention of it on Slashdot from 4/26, and I found a topic in the WordPress support forums that supported that approximate time.

  • wordpress shortcodes kick ass (or: shortcodes, an affiliate marketer’s best friend)

    this one will make the internet marketing peeps smile… let’s say you have some kind of text or phrase that you use a lot.  it could be anything, but let’s — for the sake of argument, and for showing the full power of this code — assume that the text or phrase includes a link.…

  • Free WordPress Plugin: Hello Ziggy

    so, you use WordPress.  and maybe you’ve turned on Hello Dolly.  but if you’re me (chances are, you’re not me, but we’ll pretend for the sake of argument that you’re enough like me to continue reading this statement and past this ridiculous parenthetical tangent), you don’t have Hello Dolly turned on because it’s obnoxious.  (no offense to…
