25 JulSecurity in Facebook

Irakleitsa So last night I had the chance of presenting to a teenager’s camp the “Security in Facebook” presentation.

The feedback I got was extremely good, I had to answer questions for like about an hour.

My main point was to inform them about their privacy settings, how to set up an online identity and some advice on what to do if anything happens.

The audience was about 80 people, from 12-18 years old.

The presentation is in Greek, and a version 2 should be coming up later this year, covering more statistics and more advices. Click more to see it!

24 JulSurpass the 1-Click Installer MediaTemple error

mediatempleMediaTemple is one of the reccomended web hosting services in wordpress.org. It has the option for 1-click install for wordpress (which I exclusively use), but it  shows an error right after you buy a domain, besides the primary.

The solution is very simple, and IMHO pretty dumb.  The manual install is a choice, but there is a 6 MySQL users  limitation. If you use more, you must aqcuire a MySQL Pool container that costs as much as the hosting. The limitation however does not apply for 1-click generated users!

16 Jun2 Domains – 1 install – WordPress

WordPressToday I encountered this problem: I had one folder with a WordPress install and the client asked me to be accessible from two domain names.

Since it is shared hosting, and the primary domain is irrelevant, I couldn’t use the Add-on domain option. Also the re-direction is not acceptable – the client wanted www.mydomain1.com and www.mydomain2.com to appear as different websites with the same content.
