Smackdown!
Just a quick note to let people know about Login LockDown, a new plugin I wrote for WordPress and have put out for download on Bad Neighborhood Tools website. Basically what the plugin does is it restricts the number of times someone trying to log in can put in the incorrect password in a short period, preventing someone (or some bot) from continually trying different passwords until it gets the correct one.
More information can be gotten from the Bad Neighborhood Blog
Of course it could just be general paranoia, but does it seem strange to anyone else that Digg employees would be taking such a special interest in my blog? Especially since the post they seem to be fixated on is 2 months old?
A couple of weeks ago, Rand Fishkin of SEOMoz posted a piece entitled, “You’re Not On The List“, designed to educate the public as to “why so many {directories} have little to no value”. This was following their release of a list, available only to SEOMoz Premium Members, of what SEOMoz had tagged as being quality directories. Basically it was designed to convince people that they would benefit from paying to have access to SEOMoz’s list, because the directories not on the list suck so badly.
In the spirit of the lolcats craze, and due in part to a serious lack of sleep, I present to you for your viewing pleasure…
