The hacker, who goes by the handle GMZ, said he gained access to Twitter’s administrative control panel by using a brute-force dictionary password cracker. Fortunately for him, the user turned out to be a member of Twitter’s admin, who’d chosen the weak password “happiness.

Twitter has got very serious security loopholes.

• First no password protection for continuous retried attempts.
• Second, what kind of admins would have used such a dictionary password.

Anyway, it was a fun for hackers community as they got the glimpse of famous celebrity such as Obama, Britney and even Fox News official account.

So, how can we install fonts without having to ask for Admin rights? Well, thanks to Tsukasa, there’s a workaround. He has developed a tool called Registerfont (You can download here or here or here or here)

What this tool actually does is that add a number of fonts to your font cache which do not need to use an elevated user account. How to use this tool is very simple.

• Just download the above file.
• Extract it to anywhere you can have access.
• Go to Command Prompt and type “registerfont add font1.ttf font2.ttf font3.ttf … font1000.ttf”

What if you don’t even have access to command prompt? Well, then, you can create shortcut by right clicking on Registerfont.exe, choose create shortcut. After that right-click on that shortcut and go to Properties.

Then append the string add with the name of the font file you want to add.
Example : “C:\Documents and Settings\usernamexxx\My Documents\RegisterFont.exe” add font1.ttf

Please note that you have to put Registerfont.exe, its shortcuts and all your fonts in the same folder. That’s it! Once you run the shortcut, you can see that the fonts you added are available to all your favourite Windows applications such as MS Office or Web Browsers.

Many plugins available

There are many advantages of Wordpress. The main obvious thing is that many varieties of plugins. I just imagine what I want to do with my blog and google it with wordpress plugin, BLAM! there’s always one available. In fact, the biggest headache for me is to choose the best suitable plugins.

Access to root directory

Another thing is that not really related to Wordpress, but I can’t access my root directory. So that I can edit .htaccess file anyway I liked. Of course, I’ve total control over robots.txt too.

Themes and ads

There are many themes to choose from and most of them are premium quality. Easily blended with adsense. Most important of all, I can inject adsense ads between posts without having to use any parser.

Schedule posts

This is my favourite part. I can schedule post to any day and time I want. I don’t have to wait and post. I simply have to check in “Edit timestamp” and then choose the time and date I desire. This feature would really come in handy if I plan to take vacations. Many blogger users are longing for this feature too. I hope Blogger team would soon implement this.

If I have to write down, there’ll be many more. Let me stop here. I’ll follow up later with the post What I like about Blogger over Wordpress.

Just go to Tools –>> Options.

After that click on the Tabs. You will see “New pages should be opened in:”, there are two options to choose.

Choose the options that you want and click OK. As you can see, you can configure other options such as Always show the tab bar, Warn me when closing multiple tabs or etc. Make yourself familiar with Options menu in applications, it could help you customize the applications as the way you want it.
