Reto's Weblog

Dustin Diaz is hosting the third CSS Naked Day on the 9th of April (yes, that's really soon!). It's the third CSS Naked Day and I've updated the LifeType plugin to default to the new date and fixed some bugs as well. So if you think your LifeType blog looks good without CSS you should go ahead, download the latest release and strip!

BTW: I've added the plugin to the official LifeType plugins page.

Long time no post on this blog and terribly bad performance for almost a year. But that's all history now. I finally found the time to move the site to a new server with enough speed to serve all visitors to their satisfaction. Hostpoint did quite a good job for a long time. But the performance on their shared hosting servers got bader and bader every year.

Paul wrote a related articles plugin for LifeType. It works like a charm and gives useful results when the Minimum Keyword Length is at least set to 4. You can see the plugin in action on the right in the panel by clicking any article title.
Thanks Paul!

On the 5th of April (yes, that's really soon!) is the second CSS Naked Day. If you think your blog looks good without CSS you should go ahead and strip! Else you should think about revisiting your markup and make it semantic, standards compliant and accessible.

There are plugins for the most popular weblog tools available, to let you easily get rid of your cloths. Most of them are probably listed on the CSS Naked Day website. And if you're a LifeType user you can download the CSS Naked plugin I wrote. (note: this plugin is written for LifeType 1.2 the included readme.txt explains the installation in 4 easy steps).

Guess you've noticed it (ok, maybe not if you're reading this with a feed reader): I've updated my weblog to LifeType 1.2 and am now using a modified version of the subtle template I ported to LifeType 1.2. Hope you like it. :-)

Yesterday Matt found a rather severe file disclosure vulnerability affecting all LifeType versions up to 1.1.5 (including 1.2 beta1). Thanks to oscar the fix was available within minutes and published today.

Heise Security Germany thankfully picked up our notification e-mail and released an news article as well. (thanks) 

Oh well, of course all the blogs I maintain are up-to-date by now. :) 

Update: Heise Security UK released an announcement, too. 

Well, first I want to let you know that I finally upgraded my weblog to LifeType's latest release (1.1.1, that is). Then there was the Firefox 2 release earlier today (check out the "agenda of the last steps"), and I found that ridiculous mister I sell everything Steve Balmer Video prising Windows 1.0:

 

BTW: It's dead simple to include YouTube and Google Videos with the new LifeType Editor :)
