DISQUS

Hey Vlad, thanks for linking and helping to call more attention to this whole issue. Mark and Dane make great points about the vulnerabilities of wordpress. I've been thinking about this for a while and I've decided to not use wordpress for any of my other sites. It's just too much work to keep up with updates, security, comment spam, etc. It's much easier to put together websites with a little bit of html or php, etc. Wordpress is a great piece of software, but it's often way too much for simple sites.

Also, there's no question that being a big player does draw more attention from bad guys. Who has time to keep up with being constantly attacked? That's why I prefer to use macs and linux for real security.

I'm coming late to the party again, but I've put up a post about this on my blog. It's a cool idea and hats off to you Andy, and Maki and everyone else who has participated.

Andy, another great post on the subject of links. I have to say that I've followed your advice so far and my experience seems to validate everything you're saying about being judicious with linking.

Some may take an extreme interpretation of what you're saying here and discount it out of hand, but the real wisdom of your linking advice is to link in moderation and with consideration of your blog's goals in mind. Thanks for the post!

Andy, thanks for the tips. I know there's a lot of controversy out there regarding page rank leakage, but your explanation here makes sense. I've implemented the change you suggested in the sociable plugin on my own blog. Also, thanks for pointing to the search status firefox plugin. And, yes, I'll be linking to this article.
