I fiddled with this blog last weekend and I finally managed to redirect yoonamania.com to yoonamania.com/blog. So from now on, you can just type yoonamania.com and come to this blog instead of putting “/blog” at the end. Sorry if you were getting errors over the weekend. For some reason, redirect 301 which works fine for some people didn’t work for me and it would go into an infinite loop. I meant to look into this much sooner, but you know me. I’m lazy.
I also finally scripted and scheduled automatic backups of the database everyday instead of doing it manually when I remember – once every few months, which is much to seldom. This was prompted by the recent security alert on WordPress. In case you still haven’t heard, there is a worm going around which is designed to attack earlier versions of WordPress, if it’s not hosted by wordpress.com. If you are using WordPress under your own domain hosted by anybody other than wordpress.com, you need to upgrade it to the latest version, and you need to do it YESTERDAY. And backup your blog database often if you don’t want to lose the whole thing.
This public service announcement is brought to you by the owner of this blog who couldn’t come up with anything to blog about today.

See, there are pluses to not having your own domain name.

I just went to mine, and it didn’t alert me to update it… so does that mean I’m safe?

EOI,
There are a lot more goodies if you’re on wordpress.com than on your own domain, I think. Except maybe the lack of themes.
Katie,
If you’re on 2.8.4, you’re on the latest right now.

Awesome, thanks
Look at you, bein all service-oriented and shit.

1) i love your new layout.
2) i love love love your new heading.
3) i love you.
4) I have my blog hosted elsewhere, but i’m not allowed to upgrade the wordpress. He installed the version he wanted. One more reason to switch my host as soon as i can afford to do so!
5) how do you do backups of a blog??
6) i love you so more.
Just sayin.

I need to do that too, since the blog is the main feature on mine too
Also I upgraded, but didn’t back up 
I’m not even sure I know how to do that

p.s. Was commentluv recently updated? It looks like on your blog the link opens in a new window. When I installed it last year it didn’t do that and when I asked the creator he said there weren’t any plans to upgrade at that time

good girl, I back up everything every night, and my pc twice a day. You can never have too many backups!
Oh, I know there are a lot of extras with having your own domain. But I am cheap and finally there’s something good about that.

No, I meant having it on wordpress.com has a lot of advantages other than this.
Ah, I should read more carefully.
.-= EssenceOfInsanity´s last blog ..The Classes =-.
I’m lovin’ your new theme!
I actually have to upgrade mine, but have no idea how to, nor do I have the time to figure it out.
