Status for today with the site

I’m preparing some more banners (main-banner) and I added all the Google-Adsense code to the openads installation. I do not use the ‘upgraded’ phpads/openads installation anymore but installed the new version. (see openads 2.3 hell)

I’ve found out that my issues (not updating newly inserted ads) are related to  /var/cache what is not deleted/updated by the openads configuration.

Right now I have 5 zones where I can add various forms of banners / logo’s / ads .. very kewl to experiment with ..

Hacked :-(

My Erotica weblog [nsfw] was compromised by some Turkish Fans .. They were so nice to add an index.html to my site .. Probably due to some buggy old WordPress Installation I used .. (meanwhile upgraded) .. I cannot imagine they used something else to upload their index.html .. I even could not find a lot of information about those turkish fans …

Hit the image to see what kind of Graffiti they left on the site ..

Openads 2.3 Hell

Openads 2.3 is a hell to use .. it’s new, it’s fresh, it’s a  huge update compared to 2.0 and after installing and using it: it’s a hell on cache level.

I have a lot of ‘single’ banners with single zone and when I try to embed it I see all kinds of other banners displayed .. After searching for ours it seems that when deleting the cache folder the ads / images are displayed correctly. This is really a mess and terrible and absolutely not seen in a previous version of Openads ..

:: Update ::

message to self: when removing the cache files: hell becomes heaven.  Issues seems to be solved that way. Thanks for the update Oliver.

Less is more!

A new Theme, Removed many plugins .. speed up the pages, archive change, google-ads better positioned. Updated openads, but 2.3 version has a severe ‘cache’ problem (cache is not deleted after updating zones etc.. ) ..

Now some background stuff to add again: google-analytics & some other stuff ..
