This is a just-in-case post for people who might have a problem logging into their WordPress accounts.
If you have downloaded the plug-in Bad Behavior, you need to update it ASAP! They made a mistake while switching servers and now a lot of WP blogs are not able to log in due to a blacklist IP problem.
The link: http://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/2…behavior-2011/ will take you to the fixed version.
“All users should update to Bad Behavior 2.0.11 immediately to prevent being blocked from your own site.
Within the past two days users have found themselves blocked from their own sites while using recent versions of Bad Behavior. A third party blacklist which Bad Behavior queries recently began sending false positives for any IP address queried, causing everyone using Bad Behavior to be blocked. This issue is fixed in Bad Behavior 2.0.11.
Download Bad Behavior 2.0.11 now!
P.S. Yes, Bad Behavior is still in development. More news coming soon.
Update: Some people have asked for more details on what exactly happened. In brief, yesterday I moved all of my sites to a new dedicated server. In the process, I decommissioned an old blacklist I was running which I thought wasn’t being used, not realizing that Bad Behavior was still set to use it. Shortly afterward, I found myself locked out of my own blog, just as you all did. So therefore, this release.”

Hello all. To just clear up on what I meant in my last post, I’m not going to stop blogging, I’m just thinking of moving my blog to either sub-domain of urbanroxy, or creating a whole other domain for it, so when I’m ready to start my online clothing line, I can use urbanroxy.com for it instead. No worries, I love blogging way too much to just stop it. =)
As you all can see, I have chosen yet ANOTHER theme, I like this one a lot though. It just screams my style and if you don’t like it, that’s TO BAD! =P Haha, I’m joking, but seriously this is my look and I like it a lot. And I don’t know about you, but it’s really easy on eyes, something that most people usually cannot get right on their websites. So I’m happy.
Well, I’ve been uber busy this past week/weekend. I got an email from Michelle (Desgin4Dot) and she has another project for me to do. So I will be working on that, while also working on some projects I have going on with Surpass Hosting. Wah, I love my job, you have no idea how many times I have stressed this out to people. =) Well it’s about to 9:30 and I want to go to sleep early, since lately I’ve been really tired in work and have been drinking coffee, mochas, and the like at work and Kayla (my boss…sort of) says she is going to buy me a mug…lmao! I’ve never usually been a heavy coffee drinker…but oh well.
EDIT// I changed the theme again! Gawd help me. I liked this one too. Oh well, I’ll stick with this one, so people will appreciate it more. =P
