How to protect your wordpress blog

WordPress is a hugely popular blogging platform – according to a study undertaken last year almost half of the top 100 blogs worldwide are hosted on WordPress. Being such a widely used platform it is also a prime target for hackers. For example, right now there is a huge automated hacking attack running which is […]

Five essential apps for mobile blogging

September 22, 2012 by geekmummy 12 Comments

In the days before I owned a laptop computer, I used to take my big hefty desktop PC (along with huge CRT monitor) on holiday with me. Then I got a laptop, and marvelled at how much lighter and more portable it was, and how much more car space I had when going on holiday! […]

5:2 Diet Update and Meal Planning Monday 20/08/2012

August 20, 2012 by geekmummy 40 Comments

I mentioned last week that the geekdaddy and I were trying a new eating plan where for two days a week we “fast”. In this case “fast” does not mean “eat nothing”, rather it means “eat a single meal of 4-500 calories within the 24 hour period” (that’s for women, men get 5-600 calories). For […]

I’m going slightly MAD…

May 25, 2012 by geekmummy 7 Comments

I’ve been walking around with a huge grin on my face since I found out a couple of weeks ago that, thanks to your votes, I’ve made it to the finals in the MAD Blog Awards for the second year in a row. I’m a finalist for the second time in the “Most Innovative” category, […]

Do you still like what I’m doing?

April 15, 2012 by geekmummy 4 Comments

About a year ago I asked you the question “do you like what I’m doing?“, and it was the start of a real rollercoaster ride for me. I had no idea when I asked for your nominations for a MAD Blog Award last year that I would actually end up winning it! Winning the award for […]

First Trip to the Circus – a geekdaddy guest post

April 5, 2012 by geekmummy 2 Comments

Ever since I started this blog the geekdaddy has had an open invitation to post things over here. He has got his own blog, but that’s all serious and photography-related, so I have always given him the opportunity to share my space here too. He’s joined in with a few of my more memorable video […]

Night time toilet training

March 1, 2012 by geekmummy 2 Comments

We’ve taken quite a leap forward with night time toilet training the geekdaughter, and I recorded an audio blog about it yesterday (well, it’s actually two audio blogs as I over-ran the first one a bit! If the audio players above are not visible then you can listen directly via the Audioboo website here and […]

October 27, 2011 by geekmummy 6 Comments

Halloween is coming. That time of year that seems to polarise more opinions than any other festival . Ghosties, ghoulies and things that go bump in the night. And trick or treating. So BritMums are asking the question for their video blogging challenge this week – do you like or loathe Halloween? This is a […]
