Over the last thirteen years or so, the number of sites on WordPress.com has grown — a lot. Every one of those sites gets a unique wordpress.com address. And since there are millions of sites created each year, it means the address you’d like isn’t always available.
Today, a whole new range of possibility opens up: free .blog subdomains.
What’s a subdomain? Glad you asked! This site’s address is is blog.wordpress.com. Here, wordpress.com is the domain and blog is the subdomain.
Say your name is Molly and you’re starting a food blog. The domain mollysfoodblog.wordpress.com — that is, the subdomain “mollysfoodblog” on wordpress.com — is already taken by someone. Or you’re starting a website to offer tech advice; but there’s already a site using techadvice.wordpress.com, drat!
Now you have more options: you can choose to use a free subdomain with a .blog address, like mollys.food.blog or advice.tech.blog. There’s a list of popular .blog domains we’ve reserved just for this:
art.blog business.blog car.blog code.blog data.blog design.blog family.blog fashion.blog finance.blog fitness.blog food.blog game.blog health.blog home.blog law.blog movie.blog music.blog news.blog photo.blog poetry.blog politics.blog school.blog science.blog sport.blog tech.blog travel.blog video.blog water.blog These .blog subdomains work just like the regular wordpress.com subdomains — they don’t expire, they’re free to use for the lifetime of your site, and you can always replace them with a custom domain at any time.

As many site creators know, it’s daunting to find images to represent the message you’re trying to put out into the world — especially if you don’t have the equipment or time to make your own.
At WordPress.com, we’re constantly striving to make it as easy as possible to create beautiful websites that represent who you are and what you stand for. We’re excited to announce that we’ve been working hard with Pexels and other diversity-focused image-library partners so that everyone with a WordPress.com or Jetpack-connected site can realize their vision with the right stock photos.
To use these images, just head to your Media Library and select Free Photo Library before searching for any image you need. You can also do this from the Add Media option within a post or page: Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/wordpress-annotum-for-education-science-journal-publishing/?&tag=Photos

Outdated versions of three popular WordPress plugins suffer from a "critical" zero-day vulnerability that enables an attacker to take over a website.
The bug is a PHP object injection flaw that affects the following plugins: Appointments (versions prior to 2.2.2), Flickr Gallery (versions prior to 1.5.3), and RegistrationMagic-Custom Registration Forms (versions prior to 3.7.9.3).
Together, those plugins have a combined user base of over 21,000 WordPress customers. All three have already received a fix for the security issue, which is rated "Critical" with a CVSS rating of 9.8.

NextGEN Gallery is an extraordinarily popular plugin for self-hosted WordPress websites, having been downloaded over 16.5 million times.
The software’s widespread popularity (it claims to have been “the industry’s standard WordPress gallery plugin” since 2007) makes it an seemingly obvious choice for website owners looking to add image galleries to their sites.
Researchers at Sucuri uncovered a severe SQL injection vulnerability in NextGEN Gallery’s code which could be used by a malicious attacker to steal sensitive information such as hashed passwords and WordPress secret keys: Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: http://www.scoop.it/t/wordpress-annotum-for-education-science-journal-publishing/?&tag=Cybersecurity

Attention menaces. WordPress a patché trois vulnérabilités, dont une faille de type XSS (cross-site scripting) et un problème d’injection SQL pouvant déboucher sur la création de vulnérabilités supplémentaires.
La semaine dernière, les développeurs du logiciel de CMS annonçaient dans un bulletin de sécurité que les nouveaux correctifs remédiaient à trois importants problèmes de sécurité, tous affectant WordPress versions 4.7.1 et antérieures.

WordPress 4.8.2 is out, featuring nine security fixes website owners will want to apply, well, now.
All told, there have been six updates this year featuring security fixes, including January’s silent patch for a nasty zero day, this being the first since May’s v4.7.5.
The maintenance side of the update features six other software updates but focussing on the bit that bothers Naked Security readers most, security, we see five Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) flaws (a perennially popular attack vector that refuses to die), two path or directory traversal issues, and one covering an open redirect.

We love podcasts: they’re like the blogging version of radio, a medium anyone can jump into and use to share their story. They introduce us to new voices and give us glimpses into new perspectives… and they pair perfectly with blogs and websites, where they can add more texture and interest to what you’re already publishing.
What Can a Podcast Add to My Site?
Use a RadioPublic embed to share and promote your own podcast ! But even if you’ve never even listened to a podcast before, there are ways you can use them:
Round up your favorites: everybody loves a good top-ten list, especially when includes a few surprises. Recommend some sports shows that break the mold (like 30 for 30 and The Rematch), podcasts about art (try A Piece of Work or The Lonely Palette), or amazing audio fiction. By embedding the shows right into your post, you make it easy for readers to sample, listen, and add the shows to their own listening list. Add a relevant episode to a post to give readers more to chew on. Writing about architecture? There’s probably a 99% Invisible episode that you could tie in. Pop culture? Check out Still Processing.
Not everything has to be heavy: maybe your readers could just use a few minutes of cats purring — there’s a podcast for that, too! With over 250,000 podcasts out there, there’s probably a show on whatever you’ve writing about.

Keeping up with social media can feel like a full-time job these days — and for many it is. Posting your content on Twitter and Facebook during specific hours, and keeping things evenly spaced out, means that you need to tend to your profiles pretty often.
We wanted to make it easier for WordPress.com users to create great content on their websites — and share it across different social media networks.
The new Advanced Social Media feature for Business and Premium plan users (and for Jetpack Professional and Premium users) lets you schedule specific times that your content will be automatically shared on places like Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. You can also preview your social updates before sending them, so you know exactly how it will look when it goes out.
With Advanced Social Media, you can:
Resurface older “evergreen” posts to share them to your newer followers. Plan your social media posts in bulk to save time. Craft messages specifically to fit the profile or network where you are posting.
Preview upcoming tweets, Facebook posts, or LinkedIn updates. See the previous shares of the post.
You can access all of these features by selecting the “Share” button under a post in your posts list.

Podcasting on WordPress.com While many podcasters are using self-hosted WordPress.org sites, some attendees did not know that WordPress.com also supports podcasting.
Did you know: according to Todd Cochrane from Blubrry, creators of the PowerPress podcasting plugin for self-hosted WordPress sites, there are over 200,000 active podcasts in iTunes. Since Blubrry powers over 60 thousand of them, at least 30% of all currently active podcasts are running WordPress!
WordPress.com makes it very easy to get started with podcasting. All you need to do is create a new post category, change a few settings in your dashboard, and submit your podcast to iTunes and other catalogs. Just follow these steps to launch your podcast (if you don’t have a WordPress.com site yet, get one here).
Some of the advantages of podcasting with WordPress.com:
Simplicity: Both your website and your media are hosted in the same place, making it easier to manage your content. Security: Your podcast and site will be protected by WordPress.com against attacks and spam. Backups: All content published on WordPress.com is protected and backed up so you don’t have to think about it. Maintenance-Free: Your WordPress.com site is always running the latest version of WordPress, and you will never have to worry about updates. We continue to work on tools for podcasters here at WordPress.com, and would love your input on how we can make them better.
