Hello from WPLover!

By the time I realized that my studio’s blog is filled with WordPress related articles, I knew it could only mean one thing: I loved it quite a lot. And suddenly I had this itch to create a separate space for me to write about anything WordPress.

So, WPLover is born. I’ll admit it upfront that I’m inspired by the likes of Kottke and Daring Fireball. I loved their stream of small, easily digestible linked lists, sprinkled with the occasional in-depth blog post, and I’ll try to emulate their format here.

Now, about this particular site, you’ll notice that it lacks many whistle-and-bells: just take a look at that funny sidebar. Heck, you can’t even comment right now, due to the lack of any comment template in place. Please be patient with that: I’m planning to start with the bare minimum and just begin writing. Functionality will be added as needed (read: I’m lazy), but I hope you still can enjoy what you can find here.

PS: I didn’t check this design in Internet Explorer. If you’re still using it, you deserve to browse happier.

This attack is very interesting because it is not visible to the normal user and the spam (generally about Viagra, Nexium, Cialis, etc) only shows up if the user agent is from Google’s crawler (googlebot). Also, the infection is a bit tricky to remove and if not done properly will keep reappearing.
