I just wanted to welcome all of the Entrecard members who have been dropping by since I added this site last week.
I’ve had an increase in visitors to this blog and an increase in comments too. I’m enjoying Entrecard.
If you are a member of Entrecard, have you found that it’s helped you build up regular visitors – not just traffic and page views, but people who like your site and return regularly?

You know, I’ve got a celebrity related blog, but I haven’t written in it much lately.
Oh there’s lots of celebrity news that I could be reporting, but I think when just about all the young stars and their dogs were in drug rehab I just felt “What’s the point” in regards to writing about it.
Even though I haven’t written in that blog much this year at all it’s still quite popular. It gets a lot of hits every day. I really should get it going again. I guess I’ll have to try to find some inspiration and hope that the young stars stay out of trouble.

A few weeks ago I noticed that some of my wordpress blogs said that I was using version 2.5. Odd … I haven’t upgraded to the newest version of WordPress yet and the blogs that said I was using 2.5 weren’t even upgraded to 2.33 yet either.
I think I’ve finally figured out what happened. On April 10th I must have been hit by a bug … maybe through my FTP program or by visiting someones website. Several files in each of my blogs (those that say version 2.5 and all the rest) have a line of code in them that wasn’t there before.
So the last few days have been spent going over each file, and all the files on my CMS run website as well as another website to remove the added code. I’m almost done repairing the files. Unfortunately the blogs that say they are using the highest version of WP still say that even though I’ve cleaned all the files.
Weird eh?
Another thing that I’ve come to realize this past few days is that I need more ram in my laptop as I’ve had tons of windows open in my browser as well as several programs running at once as I’ve searched out the affected files on my sites and the computer just gets slower and slower.
I know how to upgrade a desktop computer but I’ve never upgraded a laptop. This should be fun!
Anyone else find odd lines of code at the top of their WP files – even theme files – in the last while? Maybe there’s a new bug going around. Whatever it is my antivirus program didn’t catch it!

Over the last month or two, every time I talked about our bad weather (remember that huge snow storm we had here in Toronto at the end of March?), and my desire to get away from it all for a vacation on one of my other blogs someone came along and left me a message. The message always suggest that I visit check out one of the Outer Banks rentals if I needed to get away.
It was kind of strange. It was always the same person and they weren’t even leaving a link to a vacation rental site. So I’m not certain that it was a spam message. Perhaps the person really thought I’d have a great time visiting the Outer Banks?
Certainly I get enough spammy comments on each of blogs day in and day out. Those get marked as spam so those people won’t end up being able to bother other WordPress bloggers once Akismet gets there number.
Do you get strange comments on your sites that make you wonder what the persons getting at?

If your site is listed on my DoFollow blogroll please go and read the post I just made on Tricia’s Musings.
I’m currently going over the list and weeding out sites that don’t appear to be dofollow sites. So if you are on the list and believe your site is dofollow just take a moment to check that it really is, especially if you recently changed your theme or added new plugins or other add ons to your site as they could interfere with your sites ability to dofollow.
Thanks!
