Has Your WordPress Blog Been Hacked?29 Oct

Our client, Anita Campbell from SMBTrendWire wrote in with a valuable resource that I want to share with you. It’s an article written by Aaron Wall at SEOBook.com called WordPress Blog Hacking Checklist. Aaron’s article points out some great pointers and tips on how to find out if your WordPress blog was hacked, and what to do about it if you find out that it was.

WordPress SuperCache17 Oct

I’m writing to inform our clients, and any other WordPress users who come across this post, about a plugin called WP Super Cache. What is it? From the plugin description on the developers site: This plugin generates static html files from your dynamic WordPress blog. After a html file is generated your webserver will serve that file instead of processing the comparatively heavier and more expensive WordPress PHP scripts. As many of you (our clients) know - yesterday (October 16) we had a pretty rough server load day. There was one particular site on our server that was getting a blazing amount of traffic to a post they made on the elections (Political season is just HUGE for us!) - - this site got linked…
