I’m not SEO guru, but that topic lies naturally in my interest because I’m admin of several websites. I noticed that one on of my friends[^1] loves to use the sub domains for his projects. It is wisely semantically, but is not so in every his project is i think :). The Question here is how “Google & Friends” :) treats sub-domains and how it treats sub-directories? In best case you get the answer from Google at selves....
You can imagine how angry i’m now!!! I just deactivated this peace o shit (excuse me, but there is no other name for that Yahoo Shortcut Plug-In) i the second. Cause that Plug-in deletes my whole article as I clicked on the button to check the Shortcuts. :( And this is happened to me on the same article two times today! I don’t have any backup for that, cause i write my articles on the browser and it worked fantastic so far....
‘Polyglot’ is next Wordpress plug-in I want to tell you about. You maybe already has notice this flags at the post caption. As you may think this is translation of this post.

Maybe you notice the downtime of this site last days. Unfortunately it was hacked by someone for unknown purpose. The attacker used some exploit in Wordpress or some plug in or maybe the problem in k2 wordpress theme. Some malfunction of these open source components was used out, so that attacker have added lines like echo passthru($_GET[1]); to some of php files. That gives them access to shell of my user account on this server....
Now i’ve changed my homepage ultimately! From now on, my main content is blog content and all other things will be arranged around it. I’ve made some permanent redirection (301) rewriting rules so Google crawlers and browsers should not have problems to deal with changes. But i’m not sure about your feed readers. In any case every content from old path http://alexander.holbreich.org/blog/ was moved and redirected to http://alexander.holbreich.org/ including rss feeds....
“nofollow” Background The rel="nofollow" html attribute was initially proposed by google and was supported by MSN and Yahoo! The intention was to stem spam-links, that can largely occur in some webpages, especially blog comments.

WordPress is not used on this side anymore....
