Dance like no one's watching

Just a log so I remember what I’ve done… 5 Sep 08 – Blog got hacked by those damn spam injection bots again 6 Sep 08 – I realise the hack and also found out that the Secret Key for WP 2.5 & WP 2.6 is different.  (Mine wasn’t updated after the upgrade). 7 Sep […]

My blog got hacked again.  Sigh.. but I managed to fix it (took me 2 days.. finally got it straightened out today).  Anyway, I suspect it’s ‘cos the secret key for WP 2.5 is different from the one for 2.6 and I’m running WP 2.6 now. For more info, do read here.  I’ve also reported […]

Good grief!  I have no idea why this is happening but I got my permalinks to HALF work. My permalinks (before the 2.6 nightmare) used to be in the format: https://uptowngal.org/blog/2008/08/19/sample-post/ Then WP 2.6 came and they got all broken and nothing could fix it. After the upgrade to 2.6.1, they still didn’t work.  HOWEVER, […]

Damnit!  Just realised I’m going to have to set aside time to fix the damn permalinks bug because unless WP 2.6.1 comes out REALLY REALLY soon, all my previous blog entries, where I made url references to other blog entires, would now become a broken link!  Grr…

A constant pain in the neck with using Meebo in office is that messages tend to go missing.  I’m not sure if this is a Meebo problem or my office network problem (dropped connection) but it is a real pain when you’re constantly unsure if your messages reached the other party. The worst hit victim […]

tried the work around solution for the permalinks bug in WordPress 2.6 but that unfortunately didn’t work for me.  the solution proper requires me to delve into the codes but i’m hesitant to open the floodgates of blogging hell.  the best bet for me, perhaps, is to just wait for WP 2.6.1 to be released […]

Need to say thanks to David for alerting me that the Pages in my blog had broken links – happened when I got rid of the permalinks.  Sigh.   I found another error too.  Went to my WordPress Dashboard and saw I had 4 comments that needed moderation.  However, when I clicked on the Comments […]

I just went to blog hell and back.  Was really happy when I found a plugin that allows an automatic update of WordPress.  However, after the upgrade, I found that all my Categories went missing! Thank God, I found the solution here.  I installed the phpMyAdmin programme and managed to add back the categories as […]

Sigh.  Don’t know why but my modem suddenly lost my Singnet broadband password and I just couldn’t log on.  Tried calling for help but couldn’t get anyone at the helpdesk to help me (everyone was sleeping!).  Thankfully, Singnet helpdesk allows users to reset their own passwords now.  First, you need to use the telephone line […]

It’s just a fancy name for this programme that allows users to drag & drop items onto their blog’s sidebar using compatible WordPress themes. I know my blog’s been serving popup ads for some time now but I didn’t bother much because the ads were generally benign.  Till today… I got a shock of my […]
