Silkenhut’s World
Pinoy blogging experiences. Includes blogging tips, technical blogging guides, wordpress, and SEO.
The reaching out issue # 15 is canceled. It’s not that I don’t have links to post for the week, it’s just that I’m troubled, busy and tired as of the moment. My personal life is taking its toll on my blogging schedule. I apologize for this.
Thanks,
Allen

Wordpress 2.3.1 has just been released yesterday and I recommend that everyone should update immediately. There have been bugs that have been fixed but more importantly, there’s a security issue that can be exploited if you do not upgrade.
Unfortunately, some security issues were found in 2.3. Janek Vind found an XSS problem that can be exploited if your php setup has register_globals enabled. For this reason, upgrading to 2.3.1 is advised.
I found out about this update when I logged in into my wordpress dashboard and I found this update notification from wordpress. Not only does wordpress notify you when there are updates in the plugin but also when there’s also an update for wordpress. 
For a list of changes and fixes of wordpress 2.3.1, please visit the trac site or if you want to see a more detailed (human readable) result, please check out wordpress 2.3.1 in detail. So now, if you are ready and have done your backups, then you can now…
Reaching out Issue 15 will be rescheduled on October 29 to give way to this important wordpress update.

Last August 2007, I received a mybloglog message from Ms. Janette Toral regarding her new project called the Filipina Writing Project. I know I’m pretty late in blogging about this and I don’t think this can count as an official entry since I’m just going to give my two cents about this project.
To have an idea of the goal of this project, I suggest you do a Google Search for the word Filipina. The results you will most likely see are results that link to pr0n sites. If you are someone who does not know what a Filipina is, what would you deduce from the results? You would think that Filipinas are prostitutes, pr0n models and instant-wives-for-sale. If you are a Filipino, how would you feel if this is the image of your countrywomen? Can you say that, my wife is a Filipina but for non Filipinos, she’s a prostitute or a whore?
Basically, this project aims to change the search engine results for the keyword “Filipina“. As a Filipina herself, Ms. Janette Toral wants to remove the bad image Filipinas have on the internet. It is to create awareness that Filipinas are NOT prostitutes, NOT pr0n models and definitely NOT instant-wives-for-sale. So in order to do this, bloggers must unite , especially Filipino bloggers, to try and change the Filipina image through blogging.
First thing that you need in order to join or help in the writing project is to have a blog. Then just write a post that is themed around Filipina. NO! You shall not spam the word Filipina in your post but instead, just write something about it. You can write about what is a Filipina, how do you court Filipinas, what are they like and what are their characteristics. You can even make a story where the characters are Filipinas.
After you write your post, you can leave a comment at this post,
