According to Colorstrology.com sponsored by Pantone, my Birthday colour is Peach - Pantone 14-1227.

I always like to see what’s going on behind the scene, how things are made, how artists work, how certain effects are achieved. I guess that’s how I got into a web design - I wanted to know how can I build a site from scratch.

First of all, I want to thank all Plugin writers for making our blogging life easier by donating your time and your skills to the Wordpress community. But on the other hand I’d like everyone to be more cautious when installing a new plugin, be aware of potential security vulnerabilities and know how to identify if the code in the plugin addresses all possible security attacks.

Do you want to know a Secret about Wordpress plugins (actually about any plugins)? Well, remember the last two questions in my post with 8 Questions to Ask about Wordpress Plugins? Yes, I’m talking about the Security vulnerabilities in Plugins and whether or not we can trust plugin writers and believe that they address all those issues in their code. Most people never question the code in plugins because they’re not programmers, don’t know PHP and even if they might have some reservations about the security levels in plugins they don’t know how to test them.
