> Don Park: The bottom line is that when you open a browser window, you are also opening a window of vulnerability, a window through which bad guys can trick you into exposing critical secrets such as passwords. Now expand that scary thought to include software you willingly installed onto your system and you will find yourself hesitating the next time you reach for the power button.

> Tom Clifton: I just added a new plugin for ES Designs hosting clients. The favicon plugin allows managing editors to add favicons to their top level sites. The interface is very simple, just select a favicon file on your local computer and click on the add button. The favicon will now appear in the address bar of most modern web browsers.

> Vernica Downey: The problem with taking a weblog hiatus is that all sorts of interesting things appear online after you have vowed not to post anything. Today's Oxford English Dictionary (OED) word of the day is "blog". This was funny to me, particularly, since it has been several weeks since I last checked that link from my own weblog. (At first, it looked like a suggestion instead of a definition) . . . And, being the voracious but closeted dictionary reader that I am, I examined the etymology, date chart, and pronunciation information with much amusement. If you are curious, follow the link before a new word is posted. If you disagree with their definition, read the "Contribute to the OED" page and submit a form, if appropriate.
