TNT’s Dark Blue

September 13, 2009 in Dark Blue, Leverage with 0 Comments

Will TNT renew Dark Blue? Please do so. The few episodes I watched online were truly enjoyable, especially K-Town. Leverage is another good show. Bad guys during a good turn using comedic overtones. A lighthearted show.

Dark Blue

Dark Blue serves another appeal. Gritty, edgy, cops crossing the boundary into the criminal mindset and moral landscape, faced with ethical decisions from both personal and work lives. More realistic as Leverage is humorous.

TNT has renewed Leverage. I hope they will see fit to give Dark Blue a chance. Give the audience such as myself, who are coming off summer TV hiatus, a chance to discover the show.

Secure Your WordPress Blog

September 6, 2009 in Wordpress with 0 Comments

Happy Upcoming Labor Day. Do you know if your WordPress Blog is secure?

I’m seeing messages in the Admin Control Panel of my blogs that there is a worm snaking around on the web creating havoc to older WordPress versions. The messages, which I will link below, are requesting users to update their WordPress to the latest version. It should be an easy thing to do. If you’re worried about breaking your theme because it can’t hold up to latest WP version 2.8.4, go and find another one. There are plenty of free themes out there and yes, I do know the trouble of setting up them up to your specification. However, be safe than sorry.

Btw, a good host, as in Dreamhost will let you know about keeping WP upgraded. I let one of my blogs used an older version for the longest and my host sent me a notice about the update with the reason being keeping my blog secured.

Here are a few links for your perusal.
