There’s an old saying that you can neither be too thin or have too much money. I’d like to add to that list – you can’t have too many web servers available on your PC. For the non-geeks amongst you, a web server is a program that runs on a computer to ‘serve up’ web pages. […]

A good time to upgrade WordPress!

Joe — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 08:24:11 +0000

I’ve just upgraded various blogs I look after – including my own – to WordPress 2.8.5. This release is regarded as a ‘hardening’ release by WordPress themselves, and if you’re reasonably up to date the upgrade is a piece of cake – the automatic installer does it all for you. It might also be a […]
