Re: WordPress

[Justin Davies]

Hi Paul, I started out the same way and then moved onto my own hosted platform. 
I use mediatemple but there are plenty of options. 

Your own platform gives you the capacity to do more (add your own analytics, 
ads, themes etc) - current site www.justindavies.com.au if you are interested 
in taking a look...

Best regards

Justin Davies

Re: WordPress

Hi Justin,
I am but a novice & quite illiterate as far computer goes - technically 
speaking.
Despite that, without any tuition or prior training, I manage to run a blog of 
my own through "wordpress.com"

My blogsite is: http://p21chong.wordpress.com which I started in May 2009. I 
have over 480,000 readers
An encouraging venture indeed & it's FREE.

Wordpress administration provides whatever help that's required & it's so easy 
to get started.

Try it! Highly Recommended.

Re: WordPress

[Tim law]

I agree. The local Hosting Services WA not only hosts my domain and email but 
allows free Wordpress, and many other, installations. 

http://www.hostingserviceswa.com.au/

I ran a Wordpress travel blog using their free service and found no 
difficulties or problem. However now I have Daniel hosting my domain where I 
could run my blog, the blog address is set to the free Wordpress address, and I 
can't redirect it.

Re: MacBook battery

[Ronda Brown]

Hi Severin,

Your MacBook would be around 2007 model?
Three years is a good life for the battery, and 300 cycles is the upper limit 
of what Apple suggests a battery should perform really well for your model MB

But it is not showing  "Check Battery" yet; so you don't have to replace it 
just yet, unless you want longer between charging times.



Cheers,
Ronni

Paying $160 every year for access to Wordpress (I assume on top of regular 
hosting charges) is very much over the top.

We have hosting accounts with two different companies in the US, and each of 
them costs less than $160 per year total.  Wordpress and lots of other support 
software are included in this one price. Also included are huge storage and 
traffic limits which we have never exceeded. This is despite hosting lots (I 
imagine we are up to several thousand by now) of web pages spread over about 25 
domains and around 50 email addresses on one of the accounts, with less on the 
other. We have never paid anything other than the basic cost for anything on 
either account.

So going with the free service offered by Wordpress is a good idea, but if you 
outgrow that then shop around for a better deal than iiNet is offering.

Hi Justin, thanks very much for your comments on WordPress.

I checked with my server, iiNet, they charge $160 per year to use
WordPress with them. For a trial, I will try a free page at
WordPress.com, we'll see how that works out.

Hi Merv,

Was the “exceeded your email quota” asking for your Username and Password so 
they could re-set?
There was a similar Phishing Scam going around a few years ago.

I haven’t had any similar to the ones you mention below.
I have been receiving more than normal junk mail in my iCloud Mail account 
lately.

email alert

[Merv Bond]

I received an email a few days ago telling me I had exceeded my email 
quota. It was from an individual not iiNet who is my provider. I deleted 
the email.
On the same day I received an offensive email, different sender. I sent 
a copy of the email code to iiNet support and yesterday I received a 
phone call from what I assume is iiNet's call centre advising me to send 
the code to   which I did.

Today I received another "exceeded my email quota" from a "Redmond, 
George (NIH/NCE) [E]". I didn't note the sender of the previous of email 
and I can't remember whether it was Redmond George or not. I haven't 
opened this email.  Has anyone else had this sort of message?

Java Update for OS X Lion 10.7.3 & OS X 10.6.8

[Ronda Brown]

Apple has released Java for OS X Lion 2012-001 and Java for Mac OS X 10.6 
Update 7, which addresses a vulnerability in the Java framework that can be 
exploited by the Flashback trojan. Ars Technica reported on Monday that 
Flashback.K, the latest variant of the trojan, can utilize a Java vulnerability 
"to hijack Macs even when users don't enter an administrative password." 
According to Apple's security overview for this update, this can occur when 
visiting a Web page that is running an untrusted Java applet. (For more about 
the Flashback trojan, see "Beware the Morphing Flashback Malware," 27 February 
2012.) The update is available for OS X Lion 10.7.3 and Mac OS X 10.6.8, and 
you should be able to access it via Software Update. (Free, 66.9 MB and 79.7 MB)

Cheers,
Ronni

Re: WordPress

[Justin Davies]

David, wordpress is terrific.

YOu can get a site hosted by wordpress at wordpress.com or arrange your own on 
your own hosting by downloading the software at wordpress.org. There are many 
hosting sites.

You can also talk to Glenn Nicholas at OM4 who provides wordpress hosting, a 
regular contributor to this forum and that allows you to focus on the content 
rather than the technology...

Best regards



Justin Davies

Re: AppleTV Gurus? (SBS On Demand and iView)

[Alan Smith]

Hi Adam

I understand that without a Smart TV, repeat TV programs will need to be 
downloaded and played through iTunes.   I used to used Firefox  add-ons 
iViewFox and Plus7Fox for this.  I am not aware of an SBS utility.  I now use 
Elgato eyeTV to record the programs to my Mac directly off-air (much better!).  
I have an ATV2.

Cheers
Alan

Re: iMessage Problem

[David Wood]

Thanks Ronni I finally cracked it... and as usual it was because I hadn't 
followed instructions to the letter!!  I have 3 Airport Expresses. the 2 
old ones that I use for speakers and printer which are the old flavour and can 
only be tasked on Airport Utility 5.6.  The Airport Extreme Base Station and 
also the recently purchased Airport express which I use to extend my network 
are of course 5ghz for some reason my iPad had decided to "attach" itself 
to the old Airport Express?  Why?  Anyway I went back and reset both of the old 
AE's and voila... all good!  But it took 3 hours!!

Thanks again as always for your invaluable help.

David

Hi David,

I won’t be back on WAMUG Mailing list tonight, I now have Clients work to 
finish.

If your Airport Extreme and Airport Express are both 802.11N you would setup a 
'Simultaneous dual-band 802.11n Wi-Fi base station’ 
On the Extreme you would “Create a Wireless Network” & “Allow this Network to 
be Extended”.
On the Airport Express to “Extend a Wireless Network”.

Some Wi-Fi devices use the 2.4GHz wireless band, including iPhone, iPod touch, 
and devices using 802.11b/g. 
Other devices can use the higher-speed 5GHz band, such as the latest 
802.11n-based Mac computers and Apple TV & iPad. 
Instead of choosing one of the bands, AirPort Extreme, Time Capsule, & Airport 
Express 802.11n now operates simultaneously on both bands, and your multi-band 
devices automatically use the best available band. 
This means all your Wi-Fi devices get the fastest possible wireless performance 
and the best possible range.

If you need more help setting up a Airport Extreme N Dual-Band Base Station 
Network , I did a Tutorial some time back which you can download at 
ronnibrown.net the page is:


I possibly will be around WAMUG Mailing list sometime tomorrow.

Hi
I got it twice as well. Checked the email source and the website it was
pointing to was a hacked site in Norway. Looked authentic, but too good to
be true. Pay $9.00 for $100 credit.

Re: Portable HD Firewire 400

[Neil Houghton]

Hi Merv,

As far as I know, you don't need the firewire port on the drive to be FW400
- FW 800 is backward compatible.

All you need is a FW400 to FW800 cable, depending on the drive you buy it
may even be thrown in.

When FW800 drives first came out, they tended to ship with both fw800 &
fw400 ports (the first I bought was like this) - but then they just started
shipping with fw800 ports and some suppliers threw in both fw800 cables and
fw800 to fw400 cables (that's what I got with my second fw800 drive).


Cheers
