Since we encountered a problem with one of Our Plugins yesterday , we had to take a whole Database Back-up and Make a new blog and restore the back. It seems that one of the plugins was not compatible with the version of Wordpress we are using – 2.8.4 , By the Way Nothing is lost except all the plugins and the Theme has got back it’s old features like the Featured Video , some old banners and stuff . Nothing else is changed . We wont be removing the featured video this time. The Twitter Plugin has been removed , which posts updates of my tweets from my twitter account , which cause a lot of slow page loads.
We have added back almost all of the old plugins back on , except the Mobile plugin which allows users to view our website with a mobile Phone compatibility basis . We will install this plugin sooner this week as a new update wil be released on that plugin.
We will also be changing a few stuff around the blog . We will allow users to make their own blog posts soon by the end of the week on request and review . A few Theme edit’s will be made in order to make page load’s faster and to have a better look. Thank you for Reading this

Google traditionally remixes its logo to celebrate notable birthdays, scientific achievements, world events and other key dates. But why is Google’s logo today a UFO beaming up the second “o” and linking the search phrase “Unexplained Phenomenon”?
Even more cryptic: a TwitPic posted to Google’s Twitter account carries the message “1.12.12 25.15.21.18 15 1.18.5 2.5.12.15.14.7 20.15 21.19 “, which a commenter on that image translates to “All Your o Are Belong To Us” (a reference to All Your Base).
We, like many web users, are somewhat flummoxed. Could Google be observing the Exeter UFO Festival, an obscure and tiny celebration being held today? Did we miss a key anniversary in the history of space exploration, perhaps? Or is Google just messing with our minds on what they knew would be a quiet Labor Day weekend?

As written by Lorelle Of Wordpress -
“Otto42 of OttoDestruct, a key WordPress developer and supporter, reports that there is an “attack” on older versions of WordPress right now. The number of sites hit by this is growing every hour. Protect your WordPress blog now: UPDATE NOW!!!
Update your WordPress blog before you continue reading this post. That’s how critical this issue is.
There are two clues that your WordPress site has been attacked.
There are strange additions to the pretty permalinks, such as example.com/category/post-title/%&(%7B$%7Beval(base64_decode($_SERVER%5BHTTP_REFERER%5D))%7D%7D|.+)&%/. The keywords are “eval” and “base64_decode.”
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 Journey Etc. has a possible solution.
WordPress.com blogs are not impacted as they are up-to-date.“
You must update your blog to it’s latest version : 2.8.4 to prevent such an attack , see that you reset all your Passwords for your WP dashboard , install the wp-security-scan plugin to scan for vulnerabilities in your WP . Change ALL passwords to a strong password immediately, including WordPress blog access for all users, database, FTP, control panels, everything.

Need to save two characters in a tweet? You could rework your wording a bit (change “people” to “ppl” or “for” to “4” for example), or, if your tweet includes a link, you could turn to a shorter URL.
Bit.ly, Twitter’s default shortener, is already plenty short, but if you want the same experience in two less characters, you can now use j.mp, which appears to simply be bit.ly rebranded with a new URL.
First spotted over on Business Insider, it initially appeared that j.mp was integrated into bit.ly’s interface , but now, it looks like it’s actually just a separate domain with the exact same features, including its own bookmarklet and sidebar. However, you can login to j.mp with the username and password that you use on bit.ly.
So, if Bit.ly is your shortener of choice but you want to make it 1.4 percent easier to fit links in 140 characters, make the switch to J.mp.
