Upcoming WordPress Security Book
Posted on November 5, 2010 by snipe in Featured, PHP/mySQL, Web Development
I casually asked a few of you (okay, almost 8,000 of you) if there would be any interest in a commercial (but cheap) e-book on securing, monitoring, and un-hacking WordPress. I received enough “yes”, “absolutely” and “hell yeah!” replies that I decided to move forward with this project.
Upgrading to WordPress 3.0 and Adding Multi-Site
Posted on June 19, 2010 by snipe in Featured, PHP/mySQL
WordPress 3.0, code name “Thelonious”, has been released, and it brings multi-site functionality as part of the core. As someone with far too many blogs of my own, I thought this would be a great time to start switching them all over, and let you know what you’re in for if you choose to do [...]

Posted on January 28, 2010 by snipe in Featured, Web Development
I just received an automated email from Rackspace that made my brain melt. It’s no secret that a lot of websites have been hacked lately. One thing they seem to have in common is that they’re all running WordPress, and a lot of them are hosted at the Rackspace Cloud.

My final post for 2009 should probably have been more climactic. If I had planned it right, the Death in the Digital Age post should have been my last for this year. Oh well.
Trying out Facebook Connect
Posted on January 25, 2009 by snipe in Featured, Web Development
After much deliberation, I have decided to give Facebook Connect a shot on Snipe.Net. Those of you who read this site regularly may remember that I had quite a lot to say about using Facebook Connect last month, so it may seem odd that I’m making this decision. I’ll explain.
Creating A WordPress Theme
Posted on January 9, 2009 by snipe in Featured, Web Development
If you’ve already got some design chops and a WordPress blog, but you find the idea of turning it into a WordPress template a bit daunting, you’re not alone. Creating your own WordPress theme is actually easier than you might imagine, and although some PHP-fu is certainly helpful, you don’t need to be a PHP [...]
Essential WordPress Plugins
Posted on January 8, 2009 by snipe in Featured, Geek Life, Web Development
Many WordPress bloggers have taken the time to share the WordPress plugins they can’t live without, and because I’ve found some of my favorites that way, I’ve decided to do the same. These plugins may not be right for everyone, but they’re the ones I use on this site. It’s easy for people to get [...]
