Ok, we now have Digg.com and del.icio.us links on all of the articles. If you have one of those accounts and enjoy an article here, please feel free to post those articles to those services. Also I've gone ahead and added in Gravatars. Those are those little pictures you see beside the comments. Hopefully you'll enjoy them if you use that service as well. It's sort of like an avatar for bloggers. Mine's still pending. Oh and yes. We have a forum set up at forums.tdjc.be if you want to stop by and visit. It was going to be for the Daria.be site. More about that tomorrow. Thanks again for visiting, -drmike

jarmitc2032 gives us KP Close up. I like it. :)

Just a quick mention of a service that does a lookup of your Google Page Rank. You can also get a icon or button to display on your website that will display it as well. (And improve their own Google Page Rank as well I'm sure.) Check PageRank Instantly - FREE Here's mine currently: Yup, it's a zero. :( My test blog over at WordPress.com is still a five though. And I haven't used it in months except for an occasional test. Here's also a button maker. Design your own button, upload it to your space and let others use it as a link to your own site.

Oh yeah, I forgot. It's a new month if you didn't know and that means the counters have been reset on the webcomics voting system. Please take a second and vote for my Kim Possible webcomic. We're running a specialy program today and running over two dozen new captions as well as 4 new ones every day this month. Please take a second and pay that site a visit and please do me a favor and vote. We did fairly well last month, averaging around 400th place. I would like to see better though. :) Thanks, -drmike

A school in Gwinnett County, Georgia, is planning on banning the Harry Potter series from it’s libraries. Many parents are supporting this by saying that these books are supposedly “filled with evil”. First read about it here Lots about it in Google.

WP plugin: Trackback Validator - Check back with the referring blog to make sure there is a link to your blog. If yes, the trackback is approved. If not, it's tagged as spam. Read about it here.

Just in case you haven't seen it in your Dashboard. 101 Fabulous Freebies - Blogging Tools for Everyone Granted I don't read PCWorld since I figured out that they usually copy over press releases as their own work. They also state that you can't do remote blogging here and themes are not editable (OK, so you can only do edits on some of them) but it's still nice to see a link and a mention.

The latest in the stable 2.0 series, 2.0.3, is now available for download. This is a bug fix and security release, and is recommended for all WordPress users. In addition to an issue that was raised on Bugtraq a few days ago, we've also backported a number of security enhancements from 2.1 to further enhance and protect your blog.

For the curious, this release includes:

• Small performance enhancements
• Movable Type / Typepad importer fix
• Enclosure (podcasting) fix
• The aforementioned security enhancements (nonces)

Upgrading is fairly simple, just overwrite your old files with the latest from the download. When you go to your admin it will give you a link to update your database.

You can also get a smaller zip of just the changed files here that I read about here. And there's already a bug fix posted about the 2.0.3 release here concerning comments.

Written by Mr H from D, this piece of Shego Fanfiction has Shego telling the story of her life to a documentaryfilmmaker. Rated T for some violence, dark humor and adult themes.

Just noted that someone stuck my Kim Possible Webcomic into a feed system over at Rojo. Never heard of it before. This blog wasn't in there. It is now though. :)
