Welcome back!
It’s Google’s 11th Birthday, today, 27th September. To celebrate, Google has changed the logo with double “l”
Originally the search engine used the Stanford website with the domain google.stanford.edu. The domain google.com was registered on September 15, 1997. They formally incorporated their company, Google Inc., on September 4, 1998 at a friend’s garage in Menlo Park, California.

There was a post on Facebook’s Blog recently mentioning that Facebook would soon be launching @Mentions like Twitter. Facebook enabled this functionality to its users yesterday.
Now, when you type a status update and type ‘@,’ an auto-updating drop-down menu with the names of your Facebook friends will appear. While users could always write the name of their friends in a status update, these names are now linked to a user’s profile.
Whenever somebody tags you in a status update, a notification will appear. For now, however, there is no place where you can easily find all the updates where somebody tagged you. It is also worth noting that while Twitter actually displays the @ symbol in status updates, Facebook just replaces it with the full name of the tagged person.
Obviously, this now makes Facebook even more like Twitter than ever before. At the same time, though, this is also a very useful feature, as it allows your friends to easily head over to the profile of the friends you tagged in your updates. Facebook’s Twitter-like new Facebook Lite interface, however, doesn’t support @mentions, yet.

Many of you may be knowing that changing Wordpress login username is one of the ways to protect your Wordpress blog. After a fresh install of Wordpress on your host, you sign in with the default username “admin“. You cannot change this username directly from the Admin panel.
But don’t worry! There’s another way to change this username. It’s through phpMyAdmin. This is not a new hack/method. But, it’s quite useful from security point of view, esp. for Wordpress newbies.
Following are the steps to change Wordpress username through phpMyAdmin:
Step 1: Login to your phpMyAdmin using your SQL Database username and password
This can be done through cPanel of your host.
Step 2: Browse to your blog’s database
Step 3: Find wp_users:
(Edit the default WordPress table prefix “wp_” if needed)
Once you click on browse in your wp_users database, you will be shown the users on this blog. Scroll down to the ID which says user_login as admin(by default). Once there click on edit button, the edit button will appear as a pencil logo.
Step 4: Edit the values:
Once clicked on edit, you will be taken to a page that appears as below. Here the second field user_login will have admin under the value column. Change this from admin to anything you prefer.
Once done with the change save and click go on the page.
There we have changed the WordPress user from the default admin to something we prefer. This is one way to ensure your WordPress blog is one step secure than it was before.
Happy Blogging.
