We have and do have some great people contributing articles to BlogSecurity and we thank them for their awesome work. Here’s some of the latest BlogSecurity.net news, as well as our current openings for articles. Lets get you involved!

BlogSecurity Moving

BlogSecurity has recently acquired its own server and will be moving within the next 1-2 weeks. This is due to downtime, and the limitations that come from hosting the site on a hosted provider.

WordPress Scanner Developer found

Currently, BlogSecurity has 2 developers eager to develop wp-scanner to the next level. However, it has been decided that we will also bring on a paid team leader to move the project forward at a faster pace. This will begin happening once we have moved to our own dedicated server.

Request for Articles

We are looking for articles centered around Blog Security, it doesn’t have to be WordPress specific and it doesn’t have to be technical. Some ideas include:

  • How to backup your WordPress Blog
  • How to restore your WordPress Blog
  • Choosing a hosting provider
  • Picking the right blogging software
  • You can inform us of WordPress vulnerabilities that we have missed and that arent included in BlogWatch.
  • Further comments and observations around our recent 1000 blog vulnerability assessment.
  • Handling comment spam
  • Using Role Based authentication to better secure your blog.

How about something like “The ideal Apache/PHP settings for a Wordpress setup” ?

Ie, what modules should be on, what aren’t needed, etc.

I never realised the whole PHP magic_quotes thing could be such a security issue, so it’d be useful to know if Ive got anything else switched on that could make my site vulnerable…

Chris, why not put something brief together and send it across to me, you have my email address. I can imagine an article like that as a pre-wordpress checklist, pretty cool.
