The sans institute (incidents.org) is warning of a Mambo exploit making the rounds. Full disclosure and security focus have more details. No word on this point of workarounds… Mambo, of course, is an open-source CMS (content management system.)

Of course, there was a time when delivery of many things relied heavily on the US Postal Service and the blame of a delay could be passed along.

Truth be told, technically the way I’ve envisioned (and at times implemented) updates to my sites have been in the style that these days is not too far from blogging. At this point I’m fairly impressed with wordpress. If you’re interested in learning more, there is likely a link at the bottom of the page, or you could try this link www.wordpress.org
Old content will be migrated from the old layout and at somepoint this new portal will likely be made active.
