For the past two years, I’ve been enabling two-factor authentication (2FA) wherever I can, and particularly on services where I want to ensure that my data is as secure as possible. Back in April, I added 2FA to this site. As this was the first time I’d ever set something like this up on a service that I maintain myself, I went to the task with a fair bit of trepidation as I simply had no idea how easy or difficult it would be. As it turns out, it is very easy. Here’s how I did it:

The FotoWeb Office Plugin supports placing of multiple placeholder boxes in PowerPoint
When creating a layout in Powerpoint, pay attention to the sequence in which you place placeholders. The Office Plugin will place images in picture placeholders first, in the order they were placed in the document.
Second, it will place images in Content placeholders, again, in the order they were placed in the document. Naturally, if you select a placeholder in the layout, the first image you select will be placed into it.
To place multiple images in the presentation, double-click each image you want to insert, in the order you want them inserted. When placing an image in a Picture placeholder, the image will be centred and adapted to the placeholder’s width.
When placing an image in a Content placeholder, the whole image will be visible, and the height and width of the placeholder will be adjusted to fit the image and its proportions.
Caveat lector: I used to work with support at FotoWare. This blog is my own space, I am not paid to write it. I write about FotoWare and FotoWare products because I believe in them. -
The most useful WordPress plugin ever
Like most bloggers, I see a fair share of comment spam. This used to be a problem, as I didn’t have a good way of filtering them out, meaning I set the comment option to Approve all. After I moved from Blogger to WordPress, I was tipped off about a plugin called Akismet.
The lovely thing about it is that it checks incoming comments against a blacklist created by the entire community of people using Akismet, meaning that, whenever someone marks something as spam, the central blacklist is updated. Having run on WordPress for three months, the current tally is 668 spam comments caught, six false positives, and one spam comment not caught.
Akismet is simple, quick to set up, and, most importantly, it just works. -
