Facebook vs Google+ Sharing
I hear of facebook getting a lot of flack because of how they manage (or purportedly don’t manage) their users’ privacy. I did this experiment a while back but haven’t had time to blog about it. The tedious task of taking screenshots and logging in and out of 3 different accounts on 2 different social… Continue reading Facebook vs Google+ Sharing

Hosting WordPress on a Windows Hoster
I remember having this problem before which I have forgotten about and hadn’t experienced, until I had updated my WordPress installation on a Windows hosted blog. I got the error, “Failed opening required './wp-blog-header.php' “. Just so I remember next time, 2 files I need to update when this happens: index.php change: require('./wp-blog-header.php'); => require('wp-blog-header.php');… Continue reading Hosting WordPress on a Windows Hoster
