ScribeFire

I've been playing with ScribeFire (a Firefox extension) today, and I'm finding it to be a pretty good HTML editor. It runs right in the browser (one of the configuration items lets you run it in its own tab, which is cool). It'll save drafts locally, which is good for offline writing. And if I put a URL in the copy-and-paste buffer, when I highlight some text in ScribeFire and click the URL button, the URL in the buffer automagically appears in the URL dialog box.

updated WordPress security whitepaper

blogsecurity.net has released version 1.2 of their "How to secure WordPress" whitepaper. Looks like they've added some v2.5-specific details along with updated information about security-related plugins.

Wil Wheaton and Radio Free Burrito

I've recently started reading Wil Wheaton's blog, and I've really enjoyed it. He's a very good writer with a lot to say.

Perhaps like many viewers, I felt that Wesley was one of the dimmer lights in Star Trek: The Next Generation. I think Wil might reply to that kind of comment with something along the lines of "I was a kid. I did what they told me to do." Look me in the eye and tell me you'd have done any differently. Thought so. And me neither.

(Besides, he got to make out with Ashley Judd. Look me in the eye and tell me you'd have done any differently. Thought so. And me neither.)

Anyway, this week he posted a couple of episodes of his Creative Commons podcast called Radio Free Burrito, on which he plays some music from podsafe. It's totally awesome and you're totally a hoser for not listening. So get over there and start listening.

securing WordPress with blogsecurity.net

I needed to set up a WordPress blog at work this week, and I decided to try following the WordPress Security Whitepaper at blogsecurity.net. It was pretty easy, and (hopefully) has made that WordPress installation a bit more secure.

blogsecurity.net is a blog about security issues relating to blogging. It's pretty interesting and has lots of good information and resources.
