Spreading the good news about the world's most awe-inspiring blog platform & content management engine - WordPress
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). I’m posting this on v2.9, and I must say, it feels like the purr of a well-oiled machine. The “Move to Trash” link and the fact that WordPress now has a global trash bin make for more [...]
WP2.9 to hit the Web soon
WordPress 2.9 is now on RC-1 status, and it’s been announced that the brand-new version will most likely be released to the world by the end of the week. As expected, we’ll see major enhancements to the way WordPress handles media files. Beta-testing v2.9 RC-1, I’ve seen those cool new features, such as on-the-fly image [...]
Simple but memorable
Automattic sent me a Moleskine notebook yesterday, as a token for having organized WordCamp Philippines 2009.

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 [...]
Eagerly anticipating BlogFest.Asia
I’m very pleased to announce that a regional conference of bloggers is finally going to take place in Asia. It’s dubbed BlogFest.Asia, and is to be hosted by the Dot.Asia Organisation (the people behind the .asia domain registry). This isn’t specifically for WordPress, of course, but I’m hoping to connect with fellow WordPress advocates and [...]
