WordPress 3.0 is out and I just updated my version to 3.0 and I got to say: It’s great! If you’re running a WordPress blog then you really should consider to updating it! More information on WordPress 3.0 “Thelonious” can be found here.

We all know the importance of having backups of our files such as pictures, mp3′s, documents etc so I’m not going into that but as a blogger…Do you also make backups of your WordPress database? If not, you really should!

Just wanted to say that I really love the Akismet Spam filter!
So far it has caught more then 19,000 spams and I just deleted 700 spam comments. Imagine getting all of those emails in your inbox!

So in this case when you double click on a file which has the .doc extension Windows tries to identify the program in order to open the file.

While I had Windows XP installed on my pc, I was able to change/set the file type associations under Folder Options.. However ever since Vista, Microsoft… Continue reading here »»
