Sorry, folks just had to mention this…Too funny!
Google had a hiccup recently, where almost every single search result (including its own www.Google.com) was giving out the "This site may harm your computer" notice. Check out Google’s official response to this hiccup.
As you know, yesterday I began the laborious and scary process of upgrading my back-end WordPress installation up to version 2.7
Well, as you can see, we are still here! 
Yay!
I use Wordpress as a CMS, as well as a blogging machine for CSKnet.
They came out with a new version a couple of months ago, and I have been avoiding upgrading it here until I was nearly 100% sure that all of the various plug-ins, etc. that I use would be compatible with the new version.
Well the time has come…I am a bit nervous, but here goes. I’ll let you know if it worked tomorrow

None of these people have substantial experience in the Chinese Martial Arts, however they all pulled off their first class with relative ease, and if you’ve been to one of our classes - you know that’s no small feat!
In my SEO consulting, I can’t tell you how many times I hear this flawed phrase “I want my site on the top of the search results. Please optimize my website.” Firstly, you optimize pages, not sites. Secondly, and almost as important is the idea that anything can be optimized!
Stuff. The End.
No, seriously though this question affects SEO, SEM, Online Marketing, Traditional Marketing, R & D, and more.
