for users of the Movable Type publishing platform: Movable Type 3.15 has been released. It fixes what seems to be an important problem that allowed malicious spammers to send email through the application. There’s a full upgrade as well as a patch that you can install even more quickly.

the well-known author of several interesting books, has started a weblog: Shovelware. Definitely something to check out. Dery has always had a lot to say. I haven’t always agreed with him, but his blog definitely raises the bar a little bit.

site, I also found this: Fix Your Titles for Better Search and Use. It makes eminent sense, and I have now changed all of my titles as he suggests. One thing to watch for is that when I didn’t have my name in my titles, Google had a far harder time finding my posts in a search on my name – that’s why I added “Michael Boyle’s weblog” to my titles about 18 months ago. We’ll see if this re-ordering has any impact, though I doubt it will.
