Google Search for websites improved

Posted by coldtobi | 4 Jun, 2008, 17:20

When subsribed to AdSense, you also get the opportunity to include a "Google Search" for your website. Frequent reader of my blog will remember, that I already tried this to improve your overall blog reading experience.

Don't get me wrong. The lifetype's own search engine is very well, but Google is specialized on search engines and can offer a lots more: Maybe you already encountered that correction of some misspelled words in the search query come very handy. Also, the algorithm knows about synonyms and will also include them in the search result. Example: (For the German readers): Try to search the obsolete term "Nulleiter", and it will search as well for the (correct) term "Neutralleiter".)

Page Rank -- Updated?

Posted by coldtobi | 15 May, 2008, 00:23 I just noticed the PR now jumped to "4" on some pages on my site.... Not that I care so much, but as it jumped from 2 to 4 in days I'm wondering if Google updated their topsecret PR-algorithm again?

Lifetype: Updated to 1.2.8

Posted by coldtobi | 6 May, 2008, 00:10

An XSS vulnarbility has been found in lifetype. So consider updating -- I already have.

According the lifetype.net page, the one who found the XSS found also another one -- at least he said that in a commen. So probably, the admin modules should undergp a more deep security analysis....

  

Small bugfix for Recaptcha

Posted by coldtobi | 8 Apr, 2008, 10:45

I found a small bug for ReCaptcha: If you do not select a style, the generated Java Script code will be invalid and therefore the lanugage selection will not work.

Just select a style, for example "red" and everthing works fine.

There also some issues with several templates (for example MinimaPlus) : These issues are CSS related and show themself by a "broken bottom border" of the widget. I am currently trying to figure out how this can be solved without the need of a new CSS file to be included.

If you need a intermediate solution, please mail me for instructions.

Updated lifetype to 1.2.7

Posted by coldtobi | 1 Apr, 2008, 11:01

The update works without problems, but should solve some.... As the description told about "security issues", everyone should install that too.

So don't wonder, if the blog will be offline for some seconds.
