[Tulisan baru] Greater Security with Two Step Authentication

Gary menulis:"We know your blog is important to you, and today we're proud to announce Two Step Authentication: a new feature to help you keep your WordPress.com account secure. For those of you who use Two Step Authentication with your Google account, you'll know how " Tanggapi tulisan ini dengan menuliskannya di atas garis ini Tulisan baru pada WordPress.com News Greater Security with Two Step Authentication by Gary We know your blog is important to you, and today we're proud to announce Two Step Authentication: a new feature to help you keep your WordPress.com account secure. For those of you who use Two Step Authentication with your Google account, you'll know how useful this feature is for keeping your account secure. Two Step Authentication works like this: when you log in to your WordPress.com account, we'll prompt you to enter a secret number. To get that secret number, you'll need to download the Google Authenticator App on your smartphone. It generates a new number every 30 seconds, making it virtually impossible to guess. All you need to do is open the app on your phone, and type in the number it's showing. If you don't have a smartphone, you can instead opt to have the number SMSed to you. To enable Two Step Authentication, head on over to the new Security tab in your WordPress.com account settings, and go through the setup wizard. The wizard will help you make sure that everything is configured correctly: Once you enable Two Step Authentication on your account, there are a couple of extra steps we recommend you take: Print backup codes Print out some backup codes to keep in a safe place -- your wallet, a filing cabinet or your document safe in case your phone is lost or stolen. You can print backup codes right from your WordPress.com Security tab: Generate application-specific passwords Some apps that connect to your WordPress.com account (such as the WordPress mobile apps) don't yet fully support Two Step Authentication. For these apps, you can generate unique passwords to use with each one (for example, you can have a different password on your phone and your tablet). If your device ever goes missing, you can disable its password with a single click, locking it out of your account. If you need any extra help setting up Two Step Authentication, detailed instructions are available in the Support documentation. Have feedback or suggestions? Leave them in the comments!

[Tulisan baru] Freshly Pressed: Friday Faves

With two feet of snow still on the ground and frigid, breezy days, it's nice to sit inside (by the fire) and lose myself in the delights of the Reader. Forget Calgon. Reader....take me away! Here's just a few Freshly Pressed posts that gave us pause this week. Roger Ebert, RIP Yesterday, the world lost more than a prolific film critic when Roger Ebert died of cancer at age 70. In Roger Ebert, RIP, science fiction author John Scalzi hails Ebert as one of his most important writing teachers, a fair, incisive film critic, and above all, a man who refused to allow a devastating disease to take away his humanity: In these later years and after everything that he'd been through with cancer and with losing the ability to physically speak, I read and was contemplative about the essays and pieces he put up on his Web site. Much of that had nothing to do with film criticism, but was a matter of him writing… well, whatever. Which meant it was something I could identify with to a significant degree, since that is what I do here. It would be foolish to say that Ebert losing his physical voice freed him to find his voice elsewhere. What I think may be more accurate was that losing his physical voice reminded Ebert that he still had things he wanted to say before he ran out of time to say them. Lean Together Sheryl Sandberg's recent book, Lean In, challenges ambitious women to seek leadership positions to help shake off the ever-competitive socio-political status quo and reshape the world of work for the better. At The Purpose of Work, Mike Gammage suggests Lean In's fatal flaw is that Sandberg should be addressing society's "all-pervasive competition" to always be "on" and working in Lean Together: Almost wherever we look, the workplace is becoming relentlessly competitive. It's an assumed 'passion' that jeopardises family life. And as work becomes more hyper-competitive, women's opportunities shrink. Pregnancy and maternity leave especially become huge issues. Sandberg acknowledges her own fears that – even at her level and with her talents – her job and prospects at Google would be diminished if she took 'too much' time off [that is more than a week or two] after her first child was born. What if we try instead to slow down and step off this devilish hamster wheel that we've created? First off, I think, we would want to reflect on the culture of contest that is embedded into our societies and so into our working lives. We have to recognise the myth of the inevitability of all–pervasive competition. Cursi At Vocabat, author Katie gives us a reflective Spanish lesson on the word cursi, which in English means "cheesy." Katie transcends simple translation, meditating on the cultural nuances between Latino and American culture, finally embracing cursi as an unfettered expression of love: In sum: What is love if not cursi? Love is supremely sentimental and gushy and ridiculous. And love means leaving your self-consciousness at the door, as well as your ego. I feel like you're not really in love if you're not regularly making a fool of yourself! But why hide our cheesiness within the safe confines of relationships? I admire people who can unblushingly own their feelings, hopes, and even disappointments without pussyfooting or pretending to not care all that much anyway. Although cursi people could use some work in the originality department, at least they care in the first place. There's a lamentable epidemic of nonchalance and numbness and self-absorption these days, and cheesiness is a much better alternative to these terrible modes of subpar living.

The 2013 Bloggie winners were announced on March 24, and we were excited to see eleven WordPress.com bloggers among the finalists and winners. Now in its 13th year, the Bloggie awards accept blog nominations for everything from Best Craft Weblog to Best-Kept Secret Weblog, winnowing down the nominees through rounds of voting until five finalists remain in each of its 30 categories. The 2013 Bloggies We found lots of great new must-reads among the finalists -- including the four WordPress.com bloggers who nabbed top honors in their categories. Maybe one of these WordPress.com gems will be your new go-to in the Reader: Watts Up With That ran away with both Weblog of the Year and Best Science or Technology Weblog. Anthony Watts, a former television meteorologist, takes a skeptical view of government approaches to climate change on his controversial, highly-trafficked, and much-lauded blog. If climate change and weather patterns are what float your boat, there was no shortage of WordPress.com blogs recognized for their work: Australian Climate Madness won in the Best Australian or New Zealand Weblog category for penning incisive posts on the climate change debate and providing a forum for alternatives to government and media analyses of global warming. Australian Climate Madness Tallbloke's Talkshop was a Best Science or Technology finalist. Another climate change skeptic, his take-no-prisoners writing style attracts thousands of readers, who jump in to create robust comment threads. Climate Audit, also nominated in Best Science or Technology, focuses on unpacking the science behind climate studies with technical posts for the number-crunchers among us. If you like your daily tour of the blogosphere to be a bit on the lighter side, there are plenty of nominated WordPress.com blogs on everything from books to parenting to cute baby hedgehogs: 3 Chic Geeks was recognized as Best New Weblog for a cheeky take on all things nerd. March Madness bracket pitting Torchwood against The Avengers? Check. Tips for throwing the world's best Doctor Who season premiere party? Check. 3 Chic Geeks The Movie Review Warehouse made it to the finals in Best Entertainment Weblog, where it held its own against heavy-hitters Jezebel and Perez Hilton. Looking for a film rec? A true movie warehouse, writer Bondo covers films from the 1940s through today. Book blog Words for Worms was graced with a nomination for Best Writing of a Weblog for its literate but snarky take on everything from contemporary classics to young adult favorites. Check out her "Top Ten Tuesdays" posts for a concentrated dose of bookish opinion. Fan favorite Captain Awkward, one of WordPress.com's most popular advice columnists, got a nod in the Best Topical Weblog category, where she was a finalist. The Urban Daddy was a daddyblogging juggernaut, picking up nominations for Best Canadian Weblog and Best Parenting or Family Weblog. DIYer and marshmallow aficionado Pocketful of Joules can no longer claim to fly under the radar after making it to the finals of the Best-Kept Secret Weblog category. Pocketful of Joules Rounding out the illustrious eleven is perennial favorite of everyone who needs a cute kitten pick-me-up on a dreary Wednesday afternoon, Cute Overload. Of the other nominees, 80 are self-hosted sites running the free WordPress software available at WordPress.org -- which means that a whopping 68% of this year's Bloggie finalists and winners are powered by WordPress! Nominations generally open on January 1st of each new year, so if you didn't see any of your favorites among this year's finalists, make sure to nominate them in 2014. Congrats to this year's nominees and winners! michelle w. | April 3, 2013 pada 5:09 pm | Tag: awards, Bloggies, Community | Categories: Community, Congrats, WordPress.com | URL: http://wp.me/pf2B5-47X Komentar    See all comments    Suka Unsubscribe or change your email settings at Manage Subscriptions.

[Tulisan baru] 30 Poems, 30 Days: NaPoWriMo Has Begun

April is National Poetry Writing Month -- NaPoWriMo for short. Modeled after National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), NaPoWriMo is an annual project encouraging poets to write one poem each day in April. We love discovering poetry in the Reader and are proud of the poets who call WordPress.com their online home, like Pushcart-nominated poet Kellie Elmore. If you're an established or aspiring poet, or want to dabble in free verse, lyric essays, and more experimental prose, we encourage you to participate this month. A poem a day First time participating in a post-a-day project like this? We asked poet and publisher Maureen Thorson, the founder of this project, for advice: Be open to the possibilities. The point isn't to turn out a fully formed sonnet each day -- although if anyone wants to try, I'm not going to discourage them! The point is to just get something down on the page without worrying about doing it "right." Many people, including published poets, avoid writing because their inner editor keeps saying, "oh, that's not good" or "you're not taking this seriously." But then you end up writing nothing at all. I'd suggest that people "let go" of any preconceived notions of what poems have to look like or be about. A poem can rhyme, or not. It can be in a traditional form, or not. It can be about something like love or death, or . . . it could be about how much you like the smell of new erasers. Again, this project is more about getting words down than on making sure they're perfect. You can always edit later -- like in May! Ready to participate? For more inspiration, visit the NaPoWriMo website throughout the month -- Maureen posts daily prompts to give you an extra boost. Tag your poems with NaPoWriMo so other participants and the rest of the WordPress.com community can find your posts in the Reader. We're excited to follow along and will share our favorites at the end of the month. It's day one of your challenge. Onward!
