Updated Blog
Upgraded or updated the backside of my blog. Nothing noticable on your end other than a couple of plugins to update.
I can now post and upload pics from my iPhone again. Yeah.
This is Cayden playing a concert for our cul-de-sac.
Test Driving My iPhone
I am writing this from my iPhone trying out the WordPress app. It really is a pain to type on the phone for a long blog but for a short one it would work.
Any one else out there blog from their phone?
Cool New Feature
I’ve been trying to figure out how in the world to get the comments from Facebook to my blog. Anytime I post something here – I’ve got it automatically going to Facebook.
Some of my friends comment on Facebook, some here. How to bring the two together?
This plugin by James Low. (In the process, James has a pretty cool little blog. Click over there and check it out.)
It’s running like a dream so far.

So I’m way ahead of the game and normal blogging should resume by tomorrow.
One more nasty note. If you are trying to get to my site with FireFox3, you’ll get a nasty notice from Google saying my site was hijacked, attacked and pillaged. It was but it’s been clean for 10 days.
I’ve petitioned, called and bothered everyone I know to bother to get this thing removed. I’m still waiting. But – the site is all cleaned up now.
Lots Ahead…Starting Over
First off, I’m back in the USA. I have lots of stories to tell and you’ll be getting multiple posts over the next few days about it all.
However, in the rush to keep you informed I used a cybercafe in Porec. Normally this is not a big deal. People do it all the time. It appears however I did not practice “safe posting.” Some of you noticed a long line of links in your rss feeds, others of you clicked on the site only to go to some place selling cheap drugs.
What Happened?
I’m not really sure I have the technical language for it. Basically my website was ‘kidnapped.’ They did this through my WordPress software AND the theme I was using.
I won’t bore you with the details but I did find the solution – upgrade WordPress to the latest version and changed my theme.
The bad news with the fix? I get to start over on my website once again. So those of you who still look at this website using the browser – welcome to the new look. I’ll be rearranging some furniture over the next few days to get it looking exactly like I want.
Lesson learned for me – who hates to update and upgrade software. DO IT!!!
Welcome back to the G sides.
