Blog Housekeeping: Wanted! A Expert WordPress/Server Optimiser
I’ve recently been considering going shopping for a new dedicated server. I moved my sites to a dedicated server one year ago which solved my performance issues. However, over the last year or so the site has slowed down noticeably so I’ve decided it’s time to make some changes.

The Beta News 2 Year Anniversary Contest
In the next two weeks I’ll host the biggest contest ever on The Beta News. Actually it’s the first contest ever here, but who’s counting?!
Now the rules to participate are developed by my twisted brain, so hopefully this will be a contest unlike anything you’ve ever seen before.

Joomla! 1.5 Stable Released
Two and a half years of development came to fruition today, when it was announced that Joomla! 1.5 Stable was made available for download.
Joomla! 1.5 is a major rewrite of the core Joomla! codebase, which was forked from Mambo on August 17, 2005. Joomla! 1.0.x retained a great measure of compatibility with Mambo, but Joomla! [...]
You Got Duplicate Content!
Google isn’t indexing your Wordpress blog!
And it could all be because of the duplicate content problem. Wait. But you know you have unique content… right? Write the best articles all you want, but the default Wordpress coding structure tends to be un-search engine-friendly- quite like the Joomla core. Observe how the archives, categories, [...]
