I’m confident Photocrati will get an update out as soon as possible.  In the meantime, below is the letter we received so you will be informed.

Letter from Photocrati dated 12/11/12:

I do appreciate the update and hope to see a theme update soon!

Clicking on this post’s will redirect to my Page on using Multisite (formerly WordPress Multiuser).  This project has been of great enjoyment to me as everytime the client sees the network and the sites going forward, they are so happy and excited!!

If you don’t know code and don’t want to learn to code, but you need a website, WordPress is the answer to your dilemma.  The next question that always comes up is what theme is recommended.

I use iThemes themes and Genesis from StudioPress.  I use Shopperpress and Headway and…on and on.  It all depends on the client as to which theme I use because each theme can be customized to the nth degree.  There is a theme builder called Ultimatum which is worth looking in to.  You don’t need code and it is drag and drop; similar to Headway.

The neat thing about Ultimatum WordPress Theme Builder is that, after you build your theme, you can use it on your site, or sell it.  And they pay you.  No weird commission scheme.  Pretty sweet.

I am going to look into this more, but if you have any comments, or even better, if you use Ultimatum, let me know!

American Pyrotechnics has pdf files that set out the laws for fireworks in every state.  While the fight and struggle for our Independence was dangerous (but successful), you can stay safe (or at least legal) this 4th of July.  Enjoy your Independence today.

Most emails small business owners receive are legitimate.  However, more and more these days spammers get hold of the business email address and try to phish the small business owner for data, a legitimate address, or worse, access to the website.  Below you will see a recent email that has been going around the Internet to business owners.  You can search on Twitter under #spam or Google it to see more examples.  Of course, the poor grammer gives much of it away; even so, don’t get spammed!

Ooops, Apple, Ooops.

Until last week, Apple was extremely good at allowing users to think their Macs were invulnerable…even though I have been telling them otherwise for years.  This fallacy hurt at least 600,000 Mac users last week and shattered that myth forever.  Macs have been attacked by Trojans called Revier / Imuler and Tsunami, but the Flashback Trojan finally got the attention of Mac users around the globe.  Apple says that since new tools are beginning to roll out to clean up the Flashback Trojan, the infection numbers are down to under half, but there are still about 270,000, Macs infected.

The Flashback Trojan infiltrated approximately 600,000 Macs around the world.  Was yours one of them?  What can you do to protect your Mac?  eSet Nod 32 was one of the first antivirus companies who tried and tried and tried (Ask Leo!) to let Mac users know they needed protection and offered an antivirus software for Macs.  Other antivirus companies are now getting on the bandwagon.  I guess they didn’t take Mac security seriously either!  It was only a matter of time.  Here is a list of the top 10 steps owners can take to make their Macs more secure (this is from e-Online).

Mikko Hypponen, Chief Research Office for F-Secure, has criticized Apple’s extremely slow response in his April 11 post on his company’s blog, saying:

“Apple has announced that it’s working on a fix for the malware, but has given no schedule for it,” Hypponen wrote. “Quite surprisingly, Apple hasn’t added detection for Flashback—by far the most widespread OS X malware ever—to the built-in Xprotect OS X antivirus tool. Also note that Apple has not provided a patch for the Java vulnerability used by Flashback for OS X v10.5 (or earlier).”

What do you do when you live in a vacuum and think you are invulnerable?  Put your product in danger.  Apple is arrogant and for the most part, we have let it be so, as it is a good product.  I mean, they DO have more money than God!  But no matter how good of a product or service one provides, need it be said that the product or service needs to be protected from infiltration?

eSet Nod32 for Mac.  ESET is the first and only company in the world with ICSA certification for Mac OS X.  (This is not an ad and I am not an affiliate of this company) – although I would like to be right about now!
