There is a security update release now available for download for both the 2.1 and 2.0 branches of WordPress and is highly recommend for all users of both branches.
These releases include fixes for several publicly known minor XSS issues, one major XML-RPC issue, and a proactive full sweep of the WordPress codebase to protect against future problems.
These frequent updates are beginning to annoy me. I guess I am lazy to update 
When I first installed Windows Vista, I was confused when I did not find the features I used to frequently use in Windows XP - standby and hibernate. A quick look in the Windows Help and Support gave me the following answer:
In earlier versions of Windows, standby saves your work to memory and puts your PC into a power-saving state. Hibernate also puts your PC into a power-saving state but saves your work to your hard disk so that you can safely turn off your PC.
Windows Vista combines standby and hibernate into a single power-saving state called sleep.

Windows Vista is the most secure version of Windows that Microsoft has ever developed. User Account Control (UAC) is part of Vista’s new security feature that aims to reduce the exposure of the operating system by requiring that all users run in standard user mode. This limitation minimizes the ability for users to make changes that could destabilize their computers or inadvertently expose the network to viruses through undetected malware that has infected their computer.

At the beginning of March, I had offered a FREE site wide link on this site for a month to anyone who signs up for Text Link Ads using my affiliate link.
I got a few people letting me know through comments and emails that they signed up using my TLA affiliate link, but so far TLA has not shown any of their names on my Referrals list.
I did a get a few referrals but all of them were advertisers who were referred by my Text Link Ads Review post (who probably found the post via Google).
So why did their names not show up? It could be probably because they did not install the advertising script on their site for seven days.
In order to qualify for an affiliate payment, a referred publisher must install the advertising script on their site for seven days. At this time the referral will appear in the affiliate’s account.
If an affiliate refers an advertiser who purchases an advertisement, the referral will appear in the affiliate account within 24 hours.

Grand Theft Auto IV is the next Grand Theft Auto (GTA) game, also known as Grand Theft Auto 4, GTA 4 and GTA IV. Grand Theft Auto IV is due to be released in the USA on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on October 16th 2007, and then in the UK on October 19th 2007
But the GTA 4 trailer was released on March 29th. The video below is the youtube version of the trailer, which is of low quality. You can watch the high quality video here.
Also check out the Grand Theft Auto IV Screenshots.
I am a big fan of GTA, what about you?

Amit Agarwal recently found a simple keyboard shortcut to delete email messages in Gmail that works across all web browsers.
If you are reading a message in GMail, press the # key (Shift+3) and that message will instantly move to Trash.
Alternatively, select one or more email messages in the GMail list view, press the same # hash key and all the selected GMail conversations will be deleted in one batch.
This secret keyboard shortcut is very useful, I wonder why Google decided not to share it with GMail users.
Here is the trailer from the latest game Spider-Man 3 which is the based on the movie.
SEO Title Tag is my favorite Search Engine Optimization plugin for WordPress and I recommend all WordPress users to install it. The plugin allows you to easily optimize the title tags across your WordPress-powered blog (for not just the single post pages and homepage) and since Title tags are one of the most important on-page factors for search engine optimization, this plugin can be very helpful.
The robots.txt is a simple text file used to tell search engine bots which pages on your web site should be crawled and indexed. Neil Patel wrote a post on the Link Building Blog that on his personal blog he created a robots.txt file so he could remove any junk pages and duplicate content from the search engines. After doing this, his web site traffic went up 11.3%.
