Occasional Thoughts

All these links are pointing to the old WordPress blog, which I have obsoleted, since I got tired of the steady security fixes containing critical fixes that are obviously due to insecure coding styles (notorious SQL injection flaws says it all). Therefore I switched to Serendipity and haven't regret that. While Wordpress had numerous of security updates in the meantime, Serendipity had just one - containing a minor security flaw in a module that I do not use.

Serendipity was able to import all postings from the old WordPress blog, however links to other postings or links to images were still pointing to the old pages. So I kept the old blog running. But WordPress still suffers from more and more security flaws - that's why Google showed the warning. As far as I can judge there was no real harm, but I also do not want to keep the old blog updating.

So today I have removed the old pages and also created a robots.txt that excludes the old pages from the Google search index. Some links have been updated, but there may be still some dead links in older postings. If you spot one, I would be very thankful, if you could tell me.

Thank you Markus, for notifying me about that.
