I’ve finally found a new WordPress theme that I like – So out with the old fixed-width(ish) browns & greens, and in are the new dynamic-width whites & blacks of the Atahualpa Theme.

I’ve also replaced the default banner images of fruit & trees with some banners snipped from my photo collection.  They’ve turned out much better than I thought they would – Not bad for 5 mins work with Paint.NET

Looks like Google have cocked things up BIG TIME for a lot of people.  Every search result is tagged as “harmful” so you can’t click through to your destination…

Update: Looks like someone at Google noticed.  Everything’s back to normal for me now…

I’ve just made a few back-end changes to my blog:

• Upgraded to WordPress 1.7
• Updated all plugins
• Installed new Facebook integration plugin
• Upgraded to latest version of Windows Live Writer

So this post is just to test all that lot is working correctly

There’s an annoying bug in Google Reader that causes the unread article count to increment before you’re actually able to view the article.

Eg:

The problem first reared its ugly head a few months back, with it happening more frequently over the past week or so.

Is it just me, or is it annoying the hell out of anyone else too?

After asking for more info regarding the warning from Google, Stopbadware.org sent me a review of my website. It looks like I’d been hit by a WordPress xmlrpc exploit before I’d had chance to patch for it. Oops!

My transparent bridging post had been altered to include a bit of HTML code to call an external URL in an IFRAME. I’ve no idea what was on that page, but no doubt it was malicious content targeting unpatched web browsers.

This Stopbadware blog post has more info…

All clear now!…
