WordPress 2.6.5 Released.

November 26th, 2008 by admin

Changelog

WordPress 2.6.5
By Ryan Boren. Filed under Development.

WordPress 2.6.5 is immediately available and fixes one security problem and three bugs. We recommend everyone upgrade to this release.

The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.

2.6.5 contains three other small fixes in addition to the XSS fix. The first prevents accidentally saving post meta information to a revision. The second prevents XML-RPC from fetching incorrect post types. The third adds some user ID sanitization during bulk delete requests. For a list of changed files, consult the full changeset between 2.6.3 and 2.6.5.

Note that we are skipping version 2.6.4 and jumping from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5 to avoid confusion with a fake 2.6.4 release that made the rounds. There is not and never will be a version 2.6.4.

How to add an icon to your website

November 10th, 2008 by admin

When surfing some of the webpages, you may notice there is an icon on the left side of the address.

Google
Icon on Google.com

Microsoft
Icon on Microsoft.com

Photobucket
Webpage without an icon.

Website icon works on most of the browsers (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Opera, Safari, and etc).

If you wish to add an icon to your website, add the following HTML codes to your website between <head> and </head> section:

<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/myicon.ico">

Assume that “/myicon.ico” is where you uploaded the icon.

For example
<html>
<head>
<title>Title of the page</title>
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/myicon.ico">
</head>
<body>
Hello World!
</body>
</html>

You can use IcoFX or other Icon Editors to make your icon.

It is recommended you use an image with 16 colors or 256 colors and save the image file as .ico.

Your icon size should be 16×16 pixels.

Enjoy! :)
