A Complete (and Free) Security Solution for WordPress Blogs

»Posted on May 4, 2012 in Tools, Web Development

A Complete (and Free) Security Solution for WordPress Blogs

As most of our readers know, we run a networks of blogs, all of which are powered by wordpress, which is considered by far the most popular and easy to use platform. However awesome may  WordPress seem, it has one little problem: security holes. How many times have you ended up reinstalling the entire blog and sometimes even losing tons of important data just because your software was outdated and someone found a security hole in it. In most cases we are dealing with bots rather than personal vendetta, but it doesn’t make you feel any better knowing the attack was random, right?

This is where a brand new security tool comes into picture – introducing cloudsafe365, a complete security solution that helps you sleep at night.

CloudSafe365 is a simple and extremely easy to use WordPress plugin that seamlessly prevents malicious requests from reaching your html layer on web hosting server. Regardless of the web hosting company you are using, security vulnerabilities pop out daily on every server, predominantly targeting websites powered on a wordpress database, which is why it’s so important to add an extra layer of protection to your security shield.  Powered by a cloud based radial XPengine™, it sifts though the server and uproots maliciously injected code, script and sensitive information.  CloudSafe365 even goes further and created securely encrypted backups to prevent any loss of important data. When you are running CloudSafe365, you will be just one mouse-click away from a complete data recovery. While personal and small business blogs may not need more than a weekly backup; busy, high traffic and frequently updated blogs with multiple users, sometimes  require hourly backups, and CloudSafe365 provides a perfect solution for anyone.

Now we are coming to the most important question, how much does it cost? Well, it’s rather affordable. It’s FREE. After a close examination and comparison, I can tell that the free version covers pretty much everything you need, including real time data backups (every time you make changes to your DB), it prevents SQL injections and offers a basic vulnerability defense and weekly email reports.

However, if you are running a blog integrated with e-commerce platforms (which processes payments and stores sensitive information), or if you have a very busy blog that requires in-depth content protection, advanced spam management,  additional ‘Dropbox’ online backups, and deeper security, a “PLUS” version of the plugin is also available, for a ridiculously low, $15 monthly fee. While it may sound like a lot of money to bloggers who run a non-profit blog in the first place, I am sure you would agree that blogs generating thousands of dollars in profit can spare $15 a month for a peace of mind and complete protection for their and their clients data.

The best part of this plugin is that you can use it free, which means basically an unlimited trial period, during which you can test its’ functionality for yourself and get a small taste of how it feels to run a completely secure blog. CloudSafe365 also offers an affiliate program where you can make 20% off all referred payments.

The Importance Of Data Storage Management

»Posted on May 2, 2012 in Tools

Data storage is quite important for companies of all sizes. Where once it was standard to keep all important files in hard copy in a dusty storage room, it is has become more common for companies to save space and paper by storing documents electronically. As such, data storage management has become an increasingly necessary aspect of business life. Many individuals may consider the process to be important only for the maintenance of their data, but the reality of the situation is that storage management is a necessity for the legal functioning of many businesses.

The most commonly mistaken idea about data storage management is that it revolves only around saving files. Creating storage solutions is, of course, quite important to the process, but there is far more involved than many might think. This process also includes the proper archiving of data, a necessity for those businesses that are required by law to keep specific electronic records available for a statutory period. This process also involves making sure that all data storage complies with any regulations that might be on the books. Data management also includes the necessities of creating on-site and off-site backups in case of emergency, often including managing the ability of the client to remotely access that data.

If your company is required to comply with certain data management regulations or if you merely wish to make sure that your data remains securely stored until it is necessary, it is important to consider your data management needs. Realizing that actually saving the data is only a small part of the process is important in understanding the necessity of having a solid storage plan. Failure to do so can not only lead to a loss of data, but may put you on the wrong side of legal standards.

The Technology Behind Reverse Phone Directories – How to Find an Old Friend and Drop Unwanted Calls?

»Posted on Apr 24, 2012 in Tools

The Technology Behind Reverse Phone Directories – How to Find an Old Friend and Drop Unwanted Calls?

How many times have we wondered if the call we just missed was the important call we were waiting for, or just another sales call just because it came from an unknown number? And how many times, we have also wished we knew the name of the caller who goes on making unwanted calls to us, or have been in a city where you know an old friend lives in and you would like to visit, but just don’t have the address? More times than we can count isn’t it?

Reverse phone lookup helps with just that, it is just like a directory where one can find out more information of a person like, their name, current address, other numbers belonging to them, and other such information based on the database you search. This service does not provide information on call or text logs, or a person’s current location, it aims at helping only with the owner’s information for a particular phone number.

There are various applications and websites one can use, to access the reverse phone lookup feature and receive information on the go. Certain websites also provide you to filter your search based on phone number or email, or even by using the name of the person (on some sites) and also let you search the public records online to carry out your search.

It’s a fairly easy procedure:
• Read some information about free reverse phone lookup directories and choose one
• Enter the phone number or email (basis the options and how you want to conduct your search)
• The site will take a few moments while it searches the database and populate the available information

There are two types of accesses, free reverse phone lookup directories and the paid ones. One can find a fair amount of information in a free database but it is not necessary that it will be always accurate. Or the information may not be available; many free sites could also just be loaded with viruses so it is essential to research the site you plan to use before you start relying on it. It is also essential to remember that each person has a right to their privacy so you need to be sure that you are not outside the bounds of law while accessing this service.

Though there seem to be many benefits of this service, there are also a few things of concern, just as you can access the information for a listed person, they can access information for you and this may be an invasion of privacy for some. It may also make it easier for certain people who you do not to be found by, to find you.

The reverse phone lookup is definitely a helpful tool in finding out information about those missed calls and long lost friends, however it could also become a menace, so be mindful of the sites you use and how you use the information you gain. Let it be for a beneficial outcome, not a painful one

The Ultimate WordPress Shortcodes Plugin For Any Purpose Is Finally Here

The Ultimate WordPress Shortcodes Plugin For Any Purpose Is Finally Here

A few weeks ago I stumbled across a wordpress shortcodes plugin and decided to write a review about it because this was the first wordpress plugin that has actually impressed me. Even though I have been in the “WordPress industry” for some time now, I often seen shortcodes plugins, (free and paid) that offer a few service boxes, and maybe buttons and a slider, but nothing impressive. This one is a new-generation plugin, with thousands (yes, thousands!) of service boxes, thousands of button variations available, image shadows, tooltips, pricing table, accordion, video tooltips, jQuery horizontal tabs, jQuery vertical tabs, jQuery accordion, stylish quotes, jQuery info boxes, CSS3 tooltips, CSS3 frames, CSS3 buttons, custom unordered lists, layout columns, highlighters, dropcaps and more..

http://www.toptut.com//HLIC/2317e13a60a53186a98e950eec9e467f.jpg

Cost: $19 – Personal License or $59 Developer License (for 1 client). If you wish to inbuild the plugin into your theme and offer it for sale on one of the big sites like WPmarket.net or ThemeForest.net you need to contact the author of LizaTom.com for a custom quote.

Advantages:

  1. LizaTom Shortcodes plugin, despite having a trillion of options and images, is very lightweight (500kb installation file) which allows you to upload it directly using the wordpress interface, without connecting to FTP client
  2. Cheap as hell. Well crappier plugins are selling for about the same price on CodeCanyon and other places, here — for your $19 you get the best plugin in the industry PLUS a few other totally professional plugins and beautiful wordpress themes that come included in your membership. The membership duration is one year (you can renew or cancel at any time) during which you will get access to all the upcoming themes and plugins that LizaTom.com is planning to release. On average there is 1-2 items added per month so you can’t go wrong with this price.
  3. Flexible like never-before. With 2000+ service boxes, almost endless button variations (color, size, icons) and plenty of other features you will never need any other plugin.
  4. Bonuses. While you might, at first glace, think that the other plugins and theme are just a bonus, if you look closer you will see that these are high quality theme that quickly became topsellers on WPmarket.net.
  5. Free updates and support are included with each membership.
  6. Easy to use. I personally hate the kind of plugins that look awesome but when you download and install them, you have no clue how to get started, or worse – the shortcodes plugins that you need to know the exact command and hardcode them in the body of your post. LizaTom Shortcodes plugin takes care of everything for you, just select the shortcodes you want from an easy to use drop down menu and the code will be generated for you in less than a second.
  7. Pricing Table. If you ever used shortcodes plugins before (or even premium wordpress themes) you would know that a good pricing table is hard to come by. LizaTom Shortcodes plugin offers a CSS3 highly customizable pricing table that looks absolutely professional yet not overly web 2.0, so you will have no problem fitting it into any design.
  8. Won’t clash with other shortcodes plugins. If you have any inbuilt in your current theme.

Disadvantages:

  1. None that I found after using the plugin for 2 weeks on several websites and testing it on 3 different wordpress themes.

This is the upcoming star of the wordpress industry. Take my word on that! Here are some more screenshots:
