Tutorial Seek Development Blog

IB Personal Project of Jamie Chung

 

Got a website that writes tutorials? We Want YOU!

I am planning on a Tutorial Seek launch for the end of this month, and I am in need of some tutorial websites who want to be pre-added in the index so we can fill up with a hundred or so tutorials before hand to start off with some content.

Tutorial Seek will spider your website, free of charge of course, and automatically index some of your tutorials to add to the database, all you have to do is simply send me an email with a link to your website, and a short description why you should be added into the pre-launch crawl.

j a m i e [ a t ] n o t a n o t h e r p o r t f o l i o . c o m

Of course you will have to decipher, I am sure you smart folks know how to do so.

I am expecting to accept numerous sources, probably a good 50ish or more websites. So if you think that you can help to some tutorial links to be gathered in an automated tutorial index. Just shout be an email.

Please, only websites that actually have their own tutorials. Tutorials can be on forums, but must be hosted on the website itself. No tutorial indexes please, nor websites that do not offer tutorials in any sort of way. To ensure an easier acceptance for beta, just link back to help spread what you are apart of. I will thank you in the end with launch traffic and continuous respect and thank you link back, plus, the knowledge that you were one of the first on the world’s first tutorial indexing search engine.

Upgraded to WordPress 2.0.6

I have just upgraded the blog to the latest stable version of WordPress.  This should prove useful against those hackers out there.
We have a pretty important release available for everyone, it includes an important security fix and it’s recommended that everyone upgrade. This is the latest release in our stable 2.0 line, which we’ve committed to maintaining for several more years.

Here’s what’s new:

  • The aforementioned security fixes.
  • HTML quicktags now work in Safari browsers.
  • Comments are filtered to prevent them from messing up your blog layout.
  • Compatibility with PHP/FastCGI setups.

For developers, there’s a new anti-XSS function called attribute_escape(), and a new filter called “query” which allows you filter any SQL at runtime. (Which is pretty powerful.) Thanks to Mark Jaquith for handling this release and Stefan Esser for responsibly reporting the security issue.

As always, you can download the latest version of WordPress here.
