I’m heading north, back to the frozen wilderness of beautiful Norway to attend WordCamp Norway this weekend.

Ever wondered what happens to your Google and Android password data when it is “backed up”? Google knows all the things, including your passwords!

WordPress internally caches the RSS feeds it reads into it. I tracked down the solution whilst rifling through the wp-includes/rss.php file.

Use a blog-deleted.php file which redirects to another site/page whenever a deleted or suspended blog is visited in WordPress multisite.
