Fb-digits.tk is another facebook scam where it offers Facebook phone number to tie to your chat.  When you click on the site it redirects you to a similar looking facebook log on page. The site takes any user name and password assuming it is your Facebook log on, If you do use your real information expect your page to be hijacked within  a few days.

As many of you may have figured out this blog runs on the wordpress platform.  WordPress is a popular blogging application package many blogger choose to use.  The primary problem with it is, it is slow.  The slowness can be caused by many thing such as too many calls to database, too many images, too many etc.  WordPress is a great tool that allows plug-ins’.  I have used many caching tools to improve performance on the site, but none every really made a drastic improvement until now.  I came across a real powerful, one that is utilized by Maxcon.  Maxcon is CDN – Content Delivery Network.  The W3 Total Cache Plug In improves performance drastically.   Maxcon works with blogs like Mashable, also build on Wordpress.  I highly recommend installing this plug in if you are using Wordpress.  It is compatible with versions up to 2.9.2.
