You see, lots of bloggers have their blog posts syndicated on other sites that aggregate content, and sometimes we write posts specific to a site just to get our names in front of more readers who frequent that particular web site.

OK, so I know not everyone wants to blog about their life. What are they going to find? You’ve got opinions, everybody does.

The one I just dealt with on this blog (and 23 of my own and client blogs) was called JohnnyA. It created new users with admin permissions on some of the blogs affected. Should you change blogging platforms? I had updated several blogs to the most recent version and they still got hit. Probably not.
