From ComputerWorld comes this security warning about hosting giant, Network Solutions:

As many as five million Web sites hosted by Network Solutions have been serving up malware, probably for several months, a security expert said today.

“This is one of the biggest infections for drive-by download attacks that I’ve seen,” said Wayne Huang, co-founder and CTO of Santa Clara, Calif.-based Armorize Technologies, a Web application security company.

Network Solutions disputed Huang’s estimate of between 500,000 and 5 million infected sites, but was unable to provide its own count.

Huang said his firm’s researchers initially tracked the infection to a widget installed by Network Solutions on its GrowSmartBusiness.com site, then later discovered that the same widget was installed by default on all “parked” domains hosted by the Herndon, Va. hosting giant.

From Bob Parsons at Go Daddy comes this announcement:

On July 1, 2010, VeriSign®, the registry for .COM and .NET, will increase prices – .COM will go up 7%, and .NET by 10%. (NOTE: The increase is to the base cost of a domain, not the Icann fee!)  The increase will be passed to registrars like Go Daddy and then, unfortunately, to consumers like you.

As of July 1, we will be forced to raise registration and renewal* prices for these two popular top-level domains.

If you wish to avoid this price increase, you can renew your domain names by June 30 and add another year to your current expiration dates. You have the option to register or renew for multiple years and lock in long-term savings.

Sincerely,

Bob Parsons
CEO and Founder

Note from Bec: If you need to renew some Go Daddy domains, try this code: DNF5 in the cart checkout for a $6.99 base price. I’m not positive, but it looks to give the reduced price the first time it is used, and then changes to a $7.39 discount if you use it again.

If, like me, you’re wondering just what allowing someone to register on your blog means exactly, read on. It took me awhile to finally phrase my search question in such a way that I was able to obtain the correct answer I was seeking. Search Engine returns for “What, exactly, are the benefits of registering on a blog site?” didn’t prove at all useful, but that’s the basic answer I was wanting to obtain. Eventually I figured out I needed to be asking about the “subscriber role” which resulted in my getting a link on WordPress.org that discusses all of the user roles and their respective capabilities. This is one of those times that knowing the proper keywords to use was absolutely necessary to obtain useful links!

According to the Codex WordPress article: “WordPress has five pre-defined Roles: Administrator, Editor, Author, Contributor and Subscriber. Each Role is allowed to perform a set of tasks called Capabilities. There are many Capabilities including publish_posts, moderate_comments, and edit_users. The default Capabilities are pre-assigned to each Role.”

The article then proceeds to describe each of the five pre-defined Roles and lists exactly what each role allows the user to do on your blog. Scrolling on down to the Subscriber Role capabilities offers one word: Read.  OK, so they are capable of reading the blog if they sign up as a subscriber, but so can anyone who doesn’t register (providing you don’t have a registration requirement for blog access that is).  Originally I thought it might notify them of new posts, but subscribing doesn’t send them any emails, as it’s not an opt-in newsletter type of registration. It also has nothing to do with adding the RSS feed to their reader.

Working my way down the article and I’m eventually rewarded with a description of Read Capability.  Short version explanation: they are allowed access to the administration panel/user profile/ page only. They can setup their profile page and that’s the extent of what registering permits them to do as a subscriber to your blog.  So what’s the purpose of that?  Well,  if you so choose, registering can be a requirement before a reader is allowed to add a comment.  Legit readers will find it faster and easier to add comments if they have registered. But, depending on your discussion page settings, it could allow a spammer to sneak in under your spam controls.

I’d personally be careful about allowing comments from anyone with a previously approved comment to bypass your personal inspection before appearing live on your blog.  I prefer to either disallow subscriber abilities altogether if it really isn’t a blog needing or wanting reader contribution, or at the very minimum, that no comment appears without my approval.

Another excellent article you might want to reference is Gary Cao’s Ultimate Guide to Roles and Capabilities that he posted to his  WPHardcore blog in April, 2010.  Lots of additional information there about capability plugins and adding custom abilities to the various role levels.

From Mainstream Webmasters comes this article by Karen Kirby

You may have seen on eBay and other auctions high pagerank (PR) domains for sale. You may have even considered purchasing one of these domains. How do you ascertain the value of such a domain?

First of all, you must verify the PR by using a free tool such as http://www.seologs.com/pr-check/pagerank.html. You just enter the domain name that you are thinking of purchasing. This site will tell you whether or not the domain actually has the PR that the seller claims.

Then, even if the site has a high PR, it still may NOT be indexed by Google, and if a site is not indexed, that’s sort of like a word not being in the dictionary. Google may think it’s a great word based on the PR, but if they don’t index it, it won’t be found in Google’s “dictionary.”

It may seem inconceivable that Google will give PR to a site they don’t index, but I’ve seen it happen many times. Google explains it’s because the algorithms that index sites are constantly updating, but the algorithms that calculate PR update less frequently, and sometimes the two processes are not in synch.

Be that as it may, I’ve seen high PR domains for sale that are NOT indexed in Google. What you can do to find out whether the domain is indexed in Google is to type site:www.nameofthedomain.com into the search bar. If Google comes back with a page that says, “Your search – site:www.nameofthedomain.com – did not match any documents” — well, the site is not indexed in Google.

You can try the same thing in Yahoo and MSN and see if any pages are indexed in those search engines. If the domain is well-indexed in Yahoo and MSN, and getting a lot of traffic, it may not matter if the domain is not indexed by Google.

However, another important factor in purchasing a domain is how many backlinks, or links from other sites, the domain has. You can type link:www.nameofthedomain.com into Google, and it will tell you which sites are linking to the domain. Once again, I’ve seen sites with high PR that only had one or even no backlinks!

If you are considering purchasing a domain with a high PR that is not well indexed or doesn’t have many backlinks, you’ve got to stop and think for a minute. Google has made it well known that it considers relevant backlinks, among many other criteria, in assessing PR. Now if the domain has no or few backlinks, how long do you think it will keep its PR?

So when considering the purchase of a high PR domain, be sure to perform your due diligence. Two other free tools that will help you are http://reladvance.com/metrix/find_metrics_results.php and http://www.linkpopularity.com. Always check out every aspect of the domain — PR, indexing, and backlinks — using several independent tools. None of the tools are 100% accurate at any given moment, and so it’s to your advantage to use them all and compare results.
