Recovered from the Wayback Machine.

I’m going to be exploring moving my sites to a multiple weblog tool. I’m currently looking at Lyceum, which is a multi-weblog fork of WordPress.

In the meantime, to lighten the atmosphere here and allow the smoke from the gunpowder to settle, as well as give the cleanup crew time to remove the dead bobbies–oops–bodies, photos from tonight’s Botanical Garden twilight visit. These photos were earned, I’ll have you know, at a great cost: at least a pint of blood to the mosquitoes. I. Itch.

WordPress and DoS attack

It would seem that there’s a new WordPress installation with security updates. My site was what was causing the DoS attacks that’s been bringing down the server because I don’t have this upgrade.

The only problem is, I have several sites running WordPress now.

The fact that WordPress does not provide multi-weblog capability, and there is no clean upgrade feature, or even a list of what files are changed is making me rethink using this software. Especially when the developers refuse to upgrade the code to create a valid Atom feed.

PS Before someone else mentions it, yes I know it’s free. And I appreciate it. And I like the software. I just have several sites with it installed, and an upgrade is no longer trivial for me. Makes me cranky, especially when I come to find out it’s my site that’s causing havoc for others.

And I really wish the default Atom feed was valid.
