Blog Hacked – Lost Most of Posts

So like some others out there, I was very lazy when it came to upgrading WordPress to the latest version. Because of that I suffered a terrible hack attack. The only way I could get rid of it was to backup my posts and comments, uninstall and then reinstall and start fresh. Everything was good until I imported my backup into the new setup. All of my posts from 2009 are now gone. So all that work is now...

On A Short Hiatus – See You Next Year

As most of you have probably noticed, I haven’t updated this blog in a few weeks now. I’ve had a lot of personal issues come up – which included my laptop crashing on me & then having to rent a temporary replacement. I still have no idea just how long it will take to get fixed. Also, as of December 24th I will be on a glorious 4-week vacation, which I am really looking forward to....

Rejaw Is The Best New Home For Pownce Refugees [Update]

For those that don’t know, recently Six Apart purchased the micro-blogging site Pownce & then shut it down. For many it was a shock & others (including myself) were not very surprised due to the lack of activity there. For those of you that also don’t know, Rejaw is a fantastic micro-blogging site with a lot of the same features as Pownce, plus a few extra. Currently, the team over...

Happy Thanksgiving – Enjoy Your Long Weekend

I just wanted to stop in really quick to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Yes I know I’m a day late but yesterday I wasn’t really up to doing anything online besides talking to my husband (who is currently deployed).  Image Credit: Glitter-Graphics I hope that everyone enjoyed their Thanksgiving with the family & friends or alone if you’re in a similar situation as me. There is...

About My RSS Feeds [Update]

This is just a quick update to let everyone know that I have combined the “Cool Tools Lineup” RSS feed with the regular Social Web Tools RSS feed. I know it was a bit confusing & figured this would be a lot easier & more convenient. So, if you were subscribed to just the “Cool Tools Lineup” RSS feed then you’ll need to unsubscribe and then subscribe to this one. Sorry...

You Comment, I Follow [Update]

This is just a quick update to let you know that I am joining the “You Comment, I Follow” aka “dofollow” movement. This movement has been going on for awhile now. If you don’t know, urls/links in blog comments are not crawled by search engines due to the “nofollow” tag automatically added to them. This is not fair to those who comment on those blogs because it...

Blog Update | Moving Forward [Update]

It’s been too long (I know) since I’ve last posted here due to personal reasons but, I do like to keep my readers updated so here goes; I apologize in advance if this bores you. A lot of my blogging goals & projects have been put on hold recently because I have a husband in the Army. What’s really been keeping me away is the fact that he’ll be deploying next month. Right now,...

The Cool Tools Lineup Has Been Launched! [Update]

Today is just a quick update to let everyone know that I’ve added a new page to this blog called “Cool Tools Lineup”. As you can see, it’s listed on the navigation menu above next to the “Home” link. The link is: http://socialwebtools.info/cool-tools-lineup/ I’m still working on it & will be constantly adding new tools to it. I really want to do this so that...

Under Construction [Update]

I’m going to be putting this blog under construction for about a week or so to revamp, redesign (if I can find something I like) & rearrange. I am very picky & never satisfied, so I always end up changing things around quite often. I’m also planning on starting a blogging schedule such as 4 or 5 posts a week or something that effect. I’ll let you all know what I decide. Just...
