Wordpress has just released an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts. 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations.

Upgrade your Wordpress version now to remove these vulnerabilities.

Also, a small feature has been included along with this release which allows you to define the error message when Wordpress fails to connect to your database. Simply place  your custom template at wp-content/db-error.php.

Reading the domain name itself, you should roughly know that you DO NOT need to pay for the hosting service provided by them. The only catch is there will be an unobtrusive footer link automatically inserted into the footer of each page… probably “Free Web Hosting by FreeWebHosting247.com“.

Here are the specifications for the free hosting plan and I must say that it is a pretty generous plan. It includes my favourite control panel, Cpanel and Fantastico which allows you to “automagically” install popular web applications (i.e. Wordpress, phpBB Forum, OsCommerce) on your website in seconds:-

.. and Entrecard claims that it can make you money. Interested? Read on.

What is Entrecard?
Entrecard is your Internet Business Card which you can use to advertise on any blog in the network for FREE!

Don’t be mislead by the word “FREE” .. it just means that you do not have to fork out money to advertise on other blogs but instead you will pay using Entrecard credits. So it is not entirely FREE as it claimed but it is a fair deal since a lot of people are reluctant to pay to advertise.

You cannot buy Entrecard credits, you have to earn it by visiting blogs and dropping your card for other bloggers. (more…)
