Although I have no experience with Java, JSF and ASP.NET Webforms look very similar. I hope I am wrong, because they are “forcing us” to use it for a project because “it is cool”.

Programming: You're Doing It Completely Wrong

The one that caught my attention was the “5 Step Failsafe upgrade for WordPress” published at BlogSecurity.

Not offense intended but I wonder why a blog dedicated to security recommends an insecure backup plugin that can allow anyone to download database backups or any file from the file system.

If you are planning to upgrade your WordPress blog, just try to do manual steps because many backup plugins are very insecure — if you still want to use some of them, deactivate it when the upgrade process is completed.

As you may already know, WordPress 2.3 will have built-in tag support and to enable tags on Windows Live Writer you have to upload a manifest file to your blog’s root.
