The 7th round of Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement negotiations begins tomorrow in Guadalajara, Mexico. The negotiation round will be the longest to-date, with three and a half days planned to address civil enforcement, border measures, the Internet provisions, and (one hour for) transparency. Over the next five days, I plan to post a five-part ACTA Guide that will include sourcing for much of the discussion on ACTA, links to all the leaked documents, information on the transparency issue, and a look at who has been speaking out…..

Web Security: Are You Part Of The Problem? – Smashing Magazine
Website security is an interesting topic and should be high on the radar of anyone who has a Web presence under their control. Ineffective Web security leads to all of the things that make us hate the Web: spam, viruses, identity theft, to name a few.

XFN™ (XHTML Friends Network) is a simple way to represent human relationships using hyperlinks. In recent years, blogs and blogrolls have become the fastest growing area of the Web. XFN enables web authors to indicate their relationship(s) to the people in their blogrolls simply by adding a ‘rel’ attribute to their <a> tags.
So I noticed deep in my WordPress, an option to use XFN to “indicate” what kind of links I have in my “links” gadget. (the one with Sluggy, Userfriendly, et al.)… So I got curious, and I started reading the site… It’s a neat idea. I also noticed they have a “thanks” page where they reference peoples sites directly, a perfect example of a situation to use the XFN in.
The only problem? They dont have a *single* XFN tag on their site. Funny funny FUNNY!
