I’ve been slowly distancing myself from this blog, in case you haven’t noticed. The title “Mrs. Mecomber’s Scrapbook” doesn’t really evoke images of technology, which is what this blog eventually became. I chose the name years ago, when it was hosted on Blogger way back in 2007! I started it up as a test blog, to test new themes and html hacks and such. But it got Page Rank and some folks liked what I was doing with the html, so I hung on to the name.
When I moved to a self-hosted WordPress blog, though, I created a new tech blog, The Older Geek. The name is catchier and I was able to start from scratch. So I have slowly moved my technology posts to The Older Geek, and this blog has become a side light. Advertisers like this blog because it has some age and it has gotten some attention. As long as I am able to make a few bucks from it, I’ll keep it up. I may release it next year when the domain renewal charges arrive. We’ll see.
I do still post interesting content here, I think. I am keenly interested in software and application programs, and of course I often discuss new developments or helpful new products that arise. But my blogging has slowed considerably. I thought you might want to know in case you have been waiting, expecting more. If you like to learn about technology, The Older Geek is more to your liking. But if you like to stay informed about new products or business solutions, I will continue to offer them here as long as I can. Thanks for reading.

Of the security tips SmashingMagazine mentions, I’d say that protecting the wp-config.php file, blacklisting bots, protecting against script injections and malicious url requests are the most important. Preventing hotlinking is very important, too.
