Update: FTP Outage and Denial of Service Attack
Topic: Tech News
Hi everyone -
 
My name is Chris, and I'm the general manager for Tripod and Angelfire. As some of you are aware, FTP is currently unavailable. I wanted to explain what's happened, why, and what we're doing next.
 
Tripod was hit by denial of service attack early yesterday morning. Thanks to security measures we have in place, no member accounts were violated, and no Tripod sites were harmed. However, the force of the attack did cause us to take certain parts of Tripod offline, including FTP, which was the main focus of the attack.
 
We've been working through the night, and will continue working today, to restore full service to everyone. Thank you for your patience as we restore service, and for your patronage. 
 
As soon as we have an ETA on restoring full service, we will let you know.
 
Sincerely,
Chris Cummings
General Manager

Featured Friday: KimberlyJessup.com
Topic: Featured Friday

This website was created by Kimberly Jessup's loving friends and family who wanted to have a destination for people to come together to remember the amazing life she led and for people who want to get more information about Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome and the scholarship that was created in honor of her memory at North Carolina State University.

 

 

As the note on the website says... "this is a great way to honor a person that has given so much to so many. Kim had so much more left to give to us and to this world. I think it now becomes our responsibility to carry on for her."

 

We strongly recommend visiting the website to learn more about Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and Kim's endowment. Any donation to the fund helps!

 

Visit the site at KimberlyJessup.com.

Don't see your favorite social site? Comment below to tell us what site you would like to see added to the Share This add-on. LinkedIn, MySpace, Tumblr, etc.? Let us know and the highest number of responses could make its way into the add-on.

New Feature: Create A Favicon!
Topic: Site Builder News

Give your site an extra special touch by uploading a favicon! I created my favicon in seconds on favicon.cc. All I had to do was upload the image that I wanted and it converted it into the file that I need for a favicon. 

 

After creating my favicon, I went to my site tab and clicked "Upload Favicon." I then found the file that I just created on favicon.cc and chose it to upload. Then, all I had to do was publish my site to see the final result. 

 

Favicons appear in the address bar and browser tabs, making your website unique. 

 

Try making your own favicon today!

Featured Friday: Whit Greene's Projects
Topic: Featured Friday

Whit Greene has created fun and imaginative projects that he is sharing on his website, whitgreene.tripod.com. You can see how he has modified the loveable favorite, Teddy Ruxpin, see other "Worlds of Wonder" projects, and even contact him if you need help restoring one of your own projects.

 


Keep an eye on Whit's site as we near the holiday season because Christmas projects will be showing up soon! Whit's website is nicely designed and all of his projects are presented in a visually appealing way. The amount of information on each page is perfect because it doesn't overwhelm the visitor, but it makes you want to continue exploring the rest of the website. 

 

Check out Whit's site today to see his projects at whitgreene.tripod.com!
