I was pretty amazed when I heard a company as prominent as DreamHost have a security leak as massive as 3,500 FTP accounts. Caydel was one of the unfortunate customers who had his account bypassed. Apparently he noticed a ton of spam links placed on his website, but didn’t think of anything at the time. Nevertheless, DreamHost still hasn’t discovered the security hole.

If anyone is looking for a new hosting company, I would recommend Sixty6 Hosting.

I just made a blog post on SEOFox regarding the impact W3C Compliance would have on one’s SEO Ranking. Overall, I believe that having a W3C compliant website really couldn’t hurt. It would definitely hurt your website if a search engine couldn’t index your website correctly. Furthermore, it would annoy visitors using problematic browsers like Internet Explorer or Mozilla FireFox which read the code differently (FireFox reads codes more strict while Internet Explorer reads code loosely).
