On Tuesday morning, I awoke to find that two of my web sites had been hacked. They had some malicious JavaScript embedded into the HTML on several pages. At first I thought it was due to a security hole in WordPress and spent the rest of the day cleaning up the mess and upgrading to WordPress 2.7.
Alas, that wasn’t the problem. Yesterday my hosting company (FatCow) posted a notice that they were reseting all FTP passwords on the main accounts for “security reasons”. That’s not the end of the world, but a hassle to be sure.
But then I found out they also reset all the...

I’m happy to announce that Software Made Simple is now featured on the Programming section of Alltop.
If you don’t use Alltop, you should really give it a try. It provides a great aggregate of some of the most respected sites on the internet, all grouped within a wide variety of topics.

Bob Keeney recently posted a blog entry Is REALbasic Relevant?. It has generated some noise in the REALbasic community.

Now that it’s 2009, I’ve taken a little bit of time to update my web site slightly. It really hasn’t changed all that much:
Updated copyright to 2009
Updated services page to include more testimonials and reworked some of the text for the various services
Added a new page for Pharmacaid, which warrants a separate post all its own
Used RapidWeaver 4.2.1
Tweaked the style template slightly
Made contact information more obvious

A question was asked on LinkedIn regarding these three CMS systems. Although I answered it there, I thought a longer post was warranted.
DotNetNuke
I probably have the most experience using DotNetNuke. I’ve built several sites using DotNetNuke, I’ve installed it on my own servers and have even attempted to build a module for it.
DotNetNuke (DNN) is incredibly powerful, but it’s also easy to use (once it’s installed). The best thing about DNN is that the administration of the site is completely integrated into the site itself. You can be viewing a page, click a button...
