Thomas Mackenzie alerted WordPress.org developers to a problem where logged in users can peek at trashed posts belonging to other authors. If you have untrusted users signed up on your blog and sensitive posts in the trash, you should upgrade to 2.9.2. As always, you can visit the Tools->Upgrade menu to upgrade or contact BlogConsulting.com for assistance where for a nominal fee we can take care of this for you.

We recently changed our name from FirmDot to Blog Consulting, to better reflect who we are: your partner of choice for understanding how to get the most out of your blog.

We’ve updated the look to match our new name and to make it easier to find what you need. We’ve also updated and expanded our suite of services for all types of customers, from blogging rookies to veterans of the medium, and made it easier to understand which services are right for you. And we’ve included other great content, including case studies of some of our well-known customers, to tell you more about how we’ve helped our clients succeed in the blogosphere.

We hope you enjoy our new site, and we look forward to serving your needs even better in the future.

Dear FirmDot Customer,

We’re excited to announce a new name in blog consulting — namely, BlogConsulting.com. We’re adopting the new name to better reflect who we are: your partner of choice for understanding how to get the most out of your blog.

What does this mean for you? It doesn’t change the way we do business, or what you can expect from us. You can still access our site at FirmDot.com, in addition to BlogConsulting.com. Our invoices and other communications now read BlogConsulting.com, but you can continue to pay us the same way you always have. We’re working on a new Web site to introduce the name, along with a suite of new services to better serve our customers, and we’ll notify you when it is available.

We appreciate your business, and we look forward to providing you with even better service as BlogConsulting.com.
