03 Dec 10 Update your wordpress to 3.0.2

Nowadays, keeping up to date with scripts is pretty much a mundane thing in today’s world. Especially with scripts such as Drupal, WordPress and others that are widely used by million users, we ought to be extra careful with updated scripts. Unlike windows applications, WordPress applications are not updated for bigger file size and bigger CPU consumptions, it is updated to have better security and usability.

Just today, I have updated my WordPress to 3.0.2 from 3.0.1.

It is good to stay up to date because you never know what will happen as websites are out in the open unsupervised most of the time. Well, stay up to date and keep your websites safe by updating your scripts. Moreover, I hope 2010 was a good year for you as it’s been a great year for me so far.

Have a great day!!!

26 Nov 10 Skype on Browser

Nowadays, browser based plug-ins, extensions and embedded applications are evolving more and more every single day. It is obvious that browser market will soon take over as Chrome OS is near to public release.

Meebo.com was a hit in early 21 century and it now has many competitors indeed. For business environments, I personally think Skype has a good image with chat and voice category for years.

So, I would like to share two sites that offer Skype chat enabled browser based application that is very easy to use.

I tested these two sites and they are pretty useful like Meebo but of course they are Skype enabled web-based browser. I sincerely hope these two sites stay long enough in the industry because I find this pretty useful with proxy based employees, travelers or limited access with permissions.

Hope you also enjoy like I do.

14 Jul 10 Loving the WordPress 3.0

I have recently updated all my websites to WordPress 3.0 version, the initial update is not much different from WordPress 2.xx, however, I find it very fascinating with the frequent updates with WordPress 3.0 version.

I have been blogging for quite sometimes and using WordPress since version 1.xx.xx so this is actually a big improvement for me.  I am definitely loving version 3.0 and I feel this version has been very less buggy when we upgraded into version 2.0, because within a week or two, we had to upgrade, I still remember.

However, this new version has been out for a couple of weeks and it looks fine. So, what do you feel about WP3.0 for your site? I am definitely enjoying new look, so far.
