Continuing from our last post about WordPress Security, I stumbled on a WordPress plugin that can help you keep your WordPress installation up to date by sending you daily email notifications whenever there is a new wp version out.
This plugin will check your installation once a day against wordpress.org and notify you if there is a new version out.

Looks like a lot of WordPress blogs are getting hacked lately.
Considering the wide spread that this blogging / CMS software is getting, it is only natural that hackers will target it.
While these issues might raise some worries if you are new to WordPress, following some simple rules and guidelines can keep you out of troubles most of the times.
Let’s go thru some simple and basic steps everyone should be aware of.
Prevention is Key
The best way to protect your self from any kind of attack is to prevent it from ever happening. Many martial arts are based on this simple principle.
If your site has already been hacked
Go for a clean and complete reinstallation and wipe out all traces the hackers might have left. Reinstalling over a hacked version is not recommended.
Remember: The key factor to protecting your WordPress site is keeping it always updated.
One last tip I can offer is to always have a good back up system running.
I highly recommend using a plugin like WP-DB-Backup for backing up your database regularly.

I was excited when Carl Ocab first offered me to join the development of his latest project – the Ultimate Blogging Theme
Carl Ocab is a very well known name in the “Make Money Online” industry and you can always find his famous blog carlocab.com on top of googles results for terms like “make money online”. Those of you who are familiar with seo and search engines probably know how hard it is to get on top of google results for such highly targeted keywords.
Did I mentioned that Carl managed to achieve all this before his 15th birthday?…
The Ultimate Blogging Theme is the latest project from Carl and from knowing it inside and out and working on it I can highly recommend it.
Watch Carl Ocab talking about working with us in this video:
Since version 2.6 WordPress presented a new feature to enable post revisions tracking.
Revisions let you track edits that has been made on posts or pages, compare the current version with older ones and revert to them if you want to.
Each time a new version of a post or page is made, revisions are stored in the WordPress database. As times pass, the database might grow bigger and bigger, putting more strains on your web server / host and at some point even start to slow down page serving. Some shared hosting providers limit your MySql space usage and will charge extra if you exceed the space they allocated for you.
Fortunately, WordPress give us the option to disable this feature if we decide we don’t want or need it.
All you have to do in order to disable post revisions in your wordpress install is add the following line of code in wp-config.php located in the root or home directory of WordPress.
<?php define(’WP_POST_REVISIONS’, false); ?>
Once you add this line, wordpress will stop creating any revisions.
