Tech Stuff: WordPress Security
If you have a blog, what, if anything, do you do to ensure it doesn’t get hijacked by nefarious web characters? Well, mostly I’ve trusted WordPress to publish solid software and used a strong password. Then earlier this month, I was wandering around on the FTP site of my site … Continue reading →
Wednesday Wanderings
I’m pulling some writing-related things together for the end of the year. My writing plate is overflowing now. This is largely a good thing — several projects are gaining momentum.

Photo: The “Pond”
I made a run to the ranch last week to set up the deer feeder and camera for the final census count for this year. While there, I checked on the “pond.” Here’s what it looks like now: The hogs have been wallowing in the puddles, which, frankly, are more … Continue reading →
