Web Programming
Years ago I started programming in ASP (Active Server Pages). This was a great language and was fairly easy to migrate into.

Wordpress Love and Hate

XML Parsing Error in Wordpress
I have posted about this problem before, however, since the Wordpress Automatic Plugin Updates (WPAU) have been working there is a new culprit for this bug. It appears to be somewhat of a random bug that occurs when you run an automatic upgrade on a plugin.
