I think I'll also update my privacy policy for all my friends.

I still feel WordPress is my best bet for easy self-hosting. Yeah, plugins are a pain to deal with sometimes. I'm on the fence right now about reenabling Disqus.

I recently removed Disqus comments from my blog, because I want to go WordPress native. Perhaps that has something to do with it? Or maybe that just made it a viable target for hackers to scan? I've installed Securi to monitor my files. Let's see.

I found and removed a bunch of files and plugins which were clearly meant to give the hacker backdoor access to upload any files into my WordPress setup, though I still don't know how in the first place.

WordPress folks - my blog had an unwanted popup ad whenever I clicked on a blogpost the first time, then I changed my theme and then changed it back, and the 'hack' no longer seems to be there. Anyone else ever see this?

haven't played with the API yet… ?

it's a general WordPress question…

Folks on micro.blog (& generally using WP), question for you - I have comments on two WP sites - https://colinwalker.blog & http://johnjohnston.info/blog/type/status/ but follow-ups don't show on wp.com. How do I follow my comment threads?

I watched Guardians of the Galaxy 2 few days ago and I just have 1 question - are the ravagers (led by Stallone) going to show up as a TV show or a movie (A-team or Expendables-style)? They certainly alluded to it in the ending.
