Finally I can get a better theme and colors for my blog.
Downloaded the latest version of Wordpress 2.8 over the weekend. Just overwhelmed by the new features and improvements. BTW, are the makers of Wordpress aware of how Baker died. I hope it’s not an omen. In 1988, he fell out of a window in some city in Holland but some rumors insist he was pushed. A tragic demise for a huge talent. He’s actually buried nearby where I live at the Inglewood cemetery. Just a bit of useless trivia.
yeah, the WordPress escaping API functions is also been updated. its a way of using untrusted text that “neuters” anything that could do damage. Escaping is used in WordPress to avoid SQL injection and cross-site scripting/script injection (XSS), among other things.
