A 403 error message will popup. How can that happen, you copied the exact same files?!

The reason is simple, once you copy the files they no longer have execute permission. To display your web files, a file requires execute permission!


Apache 403 forbidden fix:

chmod a+x would give all (user group and others) execute permission

Example:

If you have a directory like /here/abc/ then you got to run this query:

chmod -R a+x /here/abc/

I hope that solves your 403 forbidden problem!

Here are some useful information and free templates you can use for your own site.
Actually, it’s a TOS for the UK, but you can easily make it fit your own country.

Win7 runs a lot faster and I was able to open more than 200 firefox tabs without noticing any “lag”. This is truly a sign that this might improve your daily blogging life.

AeroPeek will help you to switch between windows and applications and Aero Snap will help you to compare content in two different browser windows. Multitouch-panning might not be used commonly right now, but might also change your daily blogging life as soon as you get a fancy touchscreen monitor.

Webmasters can earn money for their opinion and increase their blog earnings.
But there are some requirements if you want to participate in one of those programs.

PayPerPost.com
1) Blogs must contain a monthly chronological archive of posts.
2) Posts may not be truncated. (I suppose that means “Read more” is not allowed, which is pretty stupid!)

PayPerPost does not accept blogs from advertising community blog sites or AdSense monetized blogs such as, Blogger Party, WritingUp, BlogCharm, Blogitive, Blog4Cash, Senserely, etc.

SocialSpark.com
1) Blog Posts must have a clearly visible time stamp.
2) Blog must have 20 posts within the last 90 days.
3) “Read more” is allowed on frontpage.

Obviously there are some more requirements.

Another great PPP program is www.sponsoredreviews.com:

SponsoredReviews.com rejection might be due to the following reasons:

1. Blog is too new and has poor stats, including little traffic and/or links.
2. Blog has too much paid content and does not meet our 2:1 ratio rule.
3. Blog was over-priced based on its stats and our suggested price.
4. Blog is written in a foreign language and does not follow guidelines on how to properly submit.

This is a security risk, because hackers will only need your password and already have your username, that’s a clear advantage! People without experience don’t know that they can change this via PHPMyAdmin and therefore don’t change it.

To improve your blog security install the following plugin.

This way you can change your admin username. Once that is done relogin and your wordpress blog should be a little bit more secure!

Should you accidently remove the symbolic link in your FTP application the real folder will be deleted as well. To avoid that simply use the command “rm -r /symboliclinkfolder” .
