Spreading the good news about the world's most awe-inspiring blog platform & content management engine - WordPress
WP3.0: multi-site enabled!
WordPress 3.0 is set to be released this month, and I can’t tell you how very excited I am to get my hands on it. I do have the beta2 version, and I’ve been playing around with it. There are quite a few new stuff you can expect from WP3.0, but the most significant update [...]
Zero-day SQL injection attacks
My blogs were hacked into using illegal SQL injection. So, to protect my WordPress installations from this attack, I changed the database tables’ prefix from wp_ to something else entirely.
Automattic, Pier 38, SFO
Thanks to the International Visitor Leadership Program fellowship I received from the U.S. Department of State, I was finally able to visit the physical offices of Automattic in San Francisco last 4 February 2010. I was in the States primarily for the IVLP from 21-25 January in Washington, D.C. Too bad, though, Matt Mullenweg wasn’t [...]
WordPress 2.9!
And then, there it was! WordPress 2.9 is now officially released and available for upgrade (and first-time installation).

Simple but memorable
Automattic sent me a Moleskine notebook yesterday, as a token for having organized WordCamp Philippines 2009. It’s way cool — the “legendary notebook” embossed with the WordPress logo on the front cover! Last year, Maya, Matt‘s indefatigable girl friday, sent me a WP hoodie for my efforts in 2008. It’s certainly heart-warming, to be given [...]
JAMBayan.net
For about two years now, I’ve been able to convince quite a few people to take up blogging or to shift to WordPress as their preferred medium of self-expression on the Web. And so, I’ve decided to feature some of them on The WordPress Evangelist. Jon Joaquin, a respected journalist of long standing in Davao [...]
Zambo & Isabela bloggers
I was in the cities of Zamboanga and Isabela from 17 to 20 October for a short vacation and to touch base with the bloggers there. Thanks to Yolynne Medina and Ryann Elumba, I was also able to talk to them about WordPress. On 19 October, I was invited to give a talk at e.AXS [...]
