Andy demonstrates the power of social media

Andy Hagan wrote a fantastic post called The Lazy SEO Manifesto and it’s hit the social media sites like crazy. Just look at that spike!

Nice one, Andy! btw, personally I’d enable trackbacks and comments for that post.

So you support W’s policy on Kyrgyzstan?

I normally stay away from [tag]laugh[/tag]ing at [tag]dumb[/tag] [tag]Americans[/tag] because they’re too easy a target. This video was too [tag]funny[/tag] to pass up. Featuring cryptic questions like “how many sides does a triangle have?” and “name a country starting with ‘U’”…

WordPress database error: errno 13

[tag]Error[/tag] messages are always a worrying sight, but thankfully this one was easily dealt with. Here’s the message I was seeing today on my newly upgraded to [tag]Wordpress v2.1[/tag] blog:

[tag]WordPress database error[/tag]: [Can't find file: './homedir/wp_comments.frm' (errno: 13)] SELECT foo FROM bar WHERE …

A quick google tells me that it’s a [tag]MySQL error[/tag], and can be fixed with a simple [tag]MySQL[/tag] command REPAIR TABLE wp_comments; (replacing wp_comments with the relevant table name if that’s not the right one). Alternatively you can do a repair within [tag]phpMyAdmin[/tag] if GUIs are your thing.

I wonder whether this was related to my playing around with different themes, and the associated compromise of database integrity, or if it was related to the [tag]upgrade[/tag] from [tag]2.0.7[/tag] to [tag]2.1[/tag]…
