Auto-Posting to Google Plus

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Since we came home early instead of staying up in NY after my grandmother’s funeral, thanks to more snow and crummy weather coming into the area today, I’m catching up on some of my various blog and other technology to-do’s. One of them was updating the WordPress stuff when I noticed something very interesting in the changelog for the Jetpack plugin. Namely, it was an enhancement for using Publicize with Google+. So, I’ve connected this WordPress install to my Google Plus page for the blog, and am keeping my fingers crossed that this will get posted there as well.

This is pretty useful for bloggers, and something I’ve long complained about when it comes to trying to keep in touch with readers who use Google +, so we’ll see how this works.

Update: Looks like it worked!

    Linked: The Third Web

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    Here’s the thing. I’ve been around the internet, and the Web, a long time. Long enough to remember when HTML was going to “democratize” publishing and when blogging was going to “democratize journalism” and when social media was going to be the thing that finally “democratized” the Web and gave everyone a voice.

    None of that proved to be true. Each and every iteration of Internet technology eventually wound up with a couple of big winners, and some sort of monopoly.

    What is it about Web3 that makes people think this will end any differently?

    I did finally decide on using Buddypress to roll my own social network to replace the Child Abuse Survivors Network that is currently on Ning. I’ve been spending quite a bit of my free time this week installing it, testing it, adding plugins, testing some more, fixing issues, removing plugins that weren’t working, and just…

    Linked: Over 1 million GoDaddy WordPress accounts breached

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 2 minutes

    The breach of the WordPress credentials is bad, as is the sFTP credentials. Sure, if you are still using the same WordPress password that GoDaddy assigned to you when you started the account, you really need to step up your game.

    WordPress is an inviting target, because getting admin access to a WordPress install, or really any other content management system, makes it super easy to lock out the original owner and inject anything you want into the site. Want a place to spread malware in drive-by injections? Nothing like an already existing, and maybe even trusted, WordPress site, eh?
