We have changed the site to a new domain. The reason for this is because we were getting a mystery robots meta tag that had a "noindex,nofollow" directive. We could not understand why this was occurring. We eventually came to the conclusion that it is either a bug or the developer of Semiologic placed a directive in the API call to insert this meta tag into the header for both http://semiologictutorials.tv and http://semiologicreloadedskins.com. I am leaning towards the latter, as we have had a few battles with the developer.

Everyone knows that the support for Semiologic is disgusting. This is no secret about this and is always voiced on the forums. There is no basic documentation about how everything works, and everyone is left to work it out for themselves. And even when there is an explaination, it is usually written in jargon and you cannot understand it and spend most of your time Googling the jargon to get definitions!

In the latest from Semiologic, the footer credits have been moved to add to the general confusion. By default, the developer has decided to include link back to his site in the footer. To remove this is dead easy. In your admin panel, go to Appearance>Skins and at the bottom of the page are the offending credits. Just delete them or replace them with what you wish.

Contrary to Semiologic's developers advice (forum.semiologic.com/discussion/5670/whats-this-in-rss-subscription/#Item_0), the RSS Subscription plugin and the Bookmark Me plugin, can have the "what's this" link (which is just a link back to the developer's site), removed. After paying $295 for Semiologic and a $175 a year thereafter, I think having a link back to the developers site is a bit rude and people need to know how to remove it.

Since the new release of Semiologic V6.0 a lot of things have changed. I have decided to upgrade all the videos and include a lot of extra ones.
I will be splitting the videos into two, whereas there will be a newbies and advanced section. I will also be including a lot of SEO videos to help people understand how to get good SEO benefits from Semiologic and their website.

Well, after much to do and endless waiting, Semiologic V6.0 – Beta 1 has been released.
I have updated this site, with apprehension, and it took me nearly all day to complete. If you have an established site, then please be careful when upgrading and DO NOT use the installer, just use SFTP, to uploaded the files. Problems I experienced with upgrading were:

Since the long awaited release of WordPress 2.8, it has been discovered that there are two fatal bugs! These bugs are related to the installer and has been erasing files and folders when installing. Patches have been done, but WordPress 2.8.1 won't be released until the end of June. WordPress developers have always released too early and 2.8 is no exception.

WordPress/Semiologic are really great programs, but because they are open source, they have security vulnerabilities. Hackers will take advantage of these vulnerabilities to exploit your site and destroy everything!
The question is not, will you be hacked, but, when will I be hacked! If you haven't secured your site, then you will be hacked, it is just a matter of time. Hackers use many methods to break into your site and these areas need to be secured. Having security on your site is imperative. Secure it or lose it!

I am constantly amazed at how many WordPress and Semiologic users fail to protect their directories, in particular, their plugins directory. These directories are vulnerable to hackers doing some serious damage to your site. If you look at a site's wp-content/plugins directory through your browser, more times than not, you will see their complete list of plugins! This is a security issue and needs to be quickly fixed.

The latest release of Semiologic Reloaded V6 is the alpha version. This site is currently using the alpha version.
The latest version seems to be only CSS tweaks and the addition of selecting a different font for the site. The only issue I see with it, is that there is no way to change the font sizes when choosing a global font, unless of course, you go into the style.css and manually do it. The default sizes for the fonts need to be changed, because they are too big and this also needs to be done through the style.css.

I have spent so much time on semiologic forums trying to get answers to questions. Maxx responded within a few hours with a video to show me the answer to my question AND I was up and running to be able to keep going with my site development.
