Check If Your Wordpress Blog is Hacked
Recently there was a big security issue of older versions of wordpress sites being hacked. Well this is because of the security flaws the older versions had. Unfortunately for those who did not upgrade to the newer versions, had to be the victims of this new Trojan.
The attack methodology is a hack which creates a new administrator account in your blog and hides it from your view using clever JavaScript.
The easiest way to stop this attack is to upgrade to the latest version of WordPress, but if you are already running an old build and want to see if your site has been already attacked…
Go to the control panel of your hosting control panel

Google Chrome Offline Installer (From Google)
Previously we posted on how to get the offline installer of Google Chrome by looking at the build and finding the file path and directly downloading it from the Google servers. Well no need to follow that here after coz now Google themselves have seen the need for an offline installer and created distributing their own. Its as easy as visiting a page and accepting a license agreement. Keep this page Bookmarked for future releases of chrome. But one downside is that Auto-Update does not work with the offline installer therefore you need to manually check for updates.
