comment Could Jekyll/Octopress and other static blogging engines be a good option for a heavy online magazine?
@Lèse, my tone may not have been clear, but I was actually thanking you for highlighting the reasons, since I hadn't looked into the root causes. I've done a lot of wordpress database cleanup for people over the last two years who had hacked wp blogs (spam links injected in articles and total display presentation changes through injected iframes). There was also one that was turned into a bank phishing site. One common thread between each blog was that it was an outdated version.

comment Could Jekyll/Octopress and other static blogging engines be a good option for a heavy online magazine?
@Lese and javipas - Thanks for bringing up the points why it can be a security nightmare. WP is targeted because it's the most popular (meaning the most hackers are going after it), and not keeping it to the newest version at all times leaves you a huge target. The majority of webapps i've used don't have the must always be up-to-date problem. Hence it can be a security nightmare. Didn't say it's impossible to secure.

comment Improve email Delivery Rates
Thanks, the idea of running the emails through a spam checker should have been obvious. It helped quite a bit in identifying negative modifiers. I think the biggest improvement came from cleaning up the headers. So far reports of non-delivery have improved a lot since the changes.

comment Are the space and the / required in the <br /> tag?
@Unixman83 - Does your comment somehow make my answer wrong, that it's required for XHTML compliance and that's the reason the close tag was added to all elements in HTML? That's a questionable reason to downvote an answer.

comment Forum Spam Question. Why are Chinese hackers posting tiny images on my forum
The ROI is worthwhile if everything is automated on their end. Even if the return is small, it adds up across thousands of domains.

comment Magento store has home page url of just ip address and not actual domain name
If you are using a certificate, make sure to put https instead of http into the secure url box.

comment Should I decline a credit card based on IP Address
IP based solutions aren't a good idea here. Tod1d needs to fix the root problems that make him a target for verifying fraudulent cards instead of duct taping code into his payment application.

comment Should I decline a credit card based on IP Address
I doubt blocking the ip address would stop it in the long run if it's a malicious user. You said he's using the same address each time, do you mean billing address that gets validated with the card or just the address registered with your site?

Dont install wordpress on the same server as an eCommerce platform. Wordpress is an insecure web application.

comment Cloud Providers vs Traditional Hosts
Ok, so it's less secure from a philosophical point of view than hosting in a tier 4 data center which only you have access, I agree. From a technical point of view, if executed as stated in policies, their security holds water. Thanks for clarifying.

comment Cloud Providers vs Traditional Hosts
@Doc - Can you explain what you mean by loss of security? I've read their whitepaper (Amazon) and it's a tight ship, but I might be missing something.

comment Finding Google's indexed pages
You have to submit a sitemap. Once the sitemap is indexed it will tell you the number of pages indexed from the sitemap. If it's not on the sitemap it doesn't count toward that number.

@daviesgeek - webmaster tools only tells you the number indexed. It won't tell you which pages.

Haha, you followed my train of thought well. I thought about creating a page with the company name while posting. Thanks for debugging that one.
