The Blogs are under new administration! This sounds as if a big leadership change has occurred, or a new President of the Blogs was voted into office. Yet the administration has changed (if there was such thing). Just not in the way some may think. I am still the programmer / developer, the Master Administrator, the President, or Lord of the Blogs (if I can use such terms...). So nothing has changed there. But the change is to the Administration area of the ANR Blogs. Hopefully this change should have you Blog Owners and Moderators jumping up and down for joy! Or maybe not if Blog Administration doesn't excite you...

So what is this change your asking me? In the Administration section, the Users section has a big...

Debugging a website can be a difficult thing, especially if it is complicated in layout and function. Fortunately, there are tools that help greatly with this. Firefox is an excellent web browser, included in it are the options for "Add-ons". These add-ons are written by other users to be able to do things that the web browser does not do by itself.

Now that your fingers are all tingling with the excitement of anticipation. I would like to take a moment to say this would not be possible without Dave and Karl who also work on Sitebulder to make it happen. So what is this new fandangled feature? It's a mix of two flavors. In one hand take the blog you are reading right now, in the other hand take Sitebuilder (some of you may have...

Well, yesterday we ran some security scans...with varied results.  One result was that we found some more vulnerabilities- the new scanner is thorough!  But unfortunately, we also sent out some email from the Portal, due to the scanner being pretty darn aggressive.

My goal for next week is to run the scan against a few 'private' sites: http://nursing-home.info and http://simplestuff.info/mpg .  The goal is to run stress tests, and try to crash the sites.  I would like to compare the ANR servers/connection against what is commercially available.  I think we will be in pretty good shape.
