Improving security in Wordpress plugins using Nonces

Nov 19th, 2008
Using a nonce (number used once)  is the best way to protect your plugin against a cross-site request forgery (CSRF) hacker-attack. Nonces are used on requests (saving options in admin, Ajax requests,  performing an action etc) and prevent unauthorized access by providing a secret 'key' and checking it each time the code is used.

Critique View on the Future of WordPress

Sep 9th, 2008
WordPress is today by far the most widely spread blogging platform on the Internet. I am enjoying using WordPress since I made it my "weapon of choice" over Moveable Type and Drupal. I spent lot of time with WordPress and just love it. But that also gives me an opportunity to express some of my concerns regarding the current state of WordPress and the future direction it may be heading. You often get the best critique from those who love you the most.
