ABC News reports: Internet users can take just one-twentieth of a second to decide whether they like the look of a website, researchers say. Dr Gitte Lindgaard and colleagues from Carleton University in Ottawa flashed up websites for 50 milliseconds and asked participants to rate them for visual appeal. When they repeated the exercise after a longer viewing period, the participants’ ratings were consistent. Read the full report […]
I’m surprised it is still not out on the Dev Blog, but you can download WordPress 2.0. WordPress 2.0 comes with major changes from 1.5.2. Will probably write a brand new review of this version. For those upgrading from 1.5.1 this forum topic will be useful. Finally, the dev blog has released it […]
Google said Wednesday it has fixed a problem in its widely used email program that allowed hackers to break into peoples Gmail accounts to read messages and pose as legitimate email users. Security researchers in Spain exposed a flaw in the way Google authenticates its users, allowing the breach in the system that counts more than 5 million users. The process for exploiting Gmail was posted to a hacker web site.” From the article: “Google spokesperson Sonya Boralv said only users who supplied information to the hackers were potentially vulnerable. ‘We looked into this quickly and learned that it can […]
Well, I’m frustrated! 🙁 And you can’t blame me. While WordPress.com has declared that I can’t edit my template, they have done little to add themes to the existing miniscule list of six (eight if you count Classic and Default)! And worse still, of these only four validate as valid XHTML. Even the default WordPress theme does not which really irritating. It can be fixed if they change the & to & in the header portion. The others are missing the type attribute for the script tag. Well, I’ve sent feedback to them. Hopefully, something gets this fixed. After choosing […]

Update I missed this, but Donncha has already taken care of this request 🙂 For those new to WordPress, in versions 1.5.x and below a nice feature for creating teasers was available while posting. It was called the <!--more--> tag. I haven’t tried 1.6 but here at WordPress.com this doesn’t work. As a result I have long long posts on my index page when I could just have a small starter with the rest of the post on its seperate page. When I don’t run the WYSIWYG editor (which I don’t like) I can enter <!--more--> using the quick tags, […]
While you still can’t edit your templates here at WordPress.com the WP.com FAQ suggests a good method to add images to the sidebar using the Link Manager. Unfortunately you don’t really have a choice where they will appear, as they can only come under your Links section. Better something than nothing? I’m going to give this a […]
I had written a while back about Web 2.0. As with anything new a debate rages on as to how good or bad or effective is the term Web 2.0! Wired news yesterday reported about several cracks in Web 2.0 As for me, I don’t really understand the hype over Web 2.0. For one I just wouldn’t care if an author decides to call his product Web 2.0, because if it won’t work, I won’t use it. I choose products on value for money and whether they deliver what they are supposed to do, and not if they use the […]
This FAQ states that in the near future you may use your very own domain with your WordPress.com blog. This will come as a nominal yearly cost. This seems good news to me because I want to use my new domain http://www.ajaydsouza.net with this blog. As of now it is just redirected here. So, I may actually take advantage of this if it is within reasonable limits. But that will also mean a loss to my current pagerank. But, would you as a WordPress.com user take this […]
