Apple iMAC Computer Software
Since you answered a Windows Question about the latest software from Microsoft, can you provide me an opinion on upgrading from Apple Tiger to Leopard, my computer is 3-years-old ?
Also, I know some people who have installed security updates on their Apple iMacs and they have crashed, any truth to this?
Again this is not a Blogging question, but I will try and help you out:
Concerning Apple, here is my opinion-
First I wouldn't upgrade from Tiger to Leopard.
Second, you are right about the Apple Security Updates. I would wait about 3 to 4 weeks before loading an Apple iMAC Security Upgrade. This gives Apple a chance to correct any problems from input from their customers. Unlike Microsoft who sells software to third party computer vendors like Dell or HP, Apple services their own.
Please support this Blog, Follow Me.

Keeping Your Blog Secure
The following is paraphrased and condensed from an online article by Google....
Third Party Codes, and Gadgets (widgets).
Adding site counters, templates, and other third-party codes including gadgets to your blog can be a great way to add some flare to your content, but can also leave your blog vulnerable to malicious activity if you aren't familiar with its source.
Over the years Google has seen a number of third party scripts disguise themselves as helpful add-ons, when in fact they are performing a malicious operation behind the scenes. For example, a site counter widget may indeed be providing your blog with helpful tracking data, but at the same time may also be discreetly sending that information to advertisers for the purpose of collecting the online habits of your readers. A blog template you downloaded from a third party site might include pop-up ads or links to dangerous sites that install malware on visitor's computers.
The good news though is that most of the add-ons you will run across are perfectly legitimate. To protect yourself from the small minority of add-ons that are nefarious, Google has put together a few tips to keep in mind when adding third party code to your blog:
Take a moment to review the code and look for anything that seems out of place. For example, if you are adding a weather gadget to your blog and notice in the code that there are links pointing to unrelated sites, take that as a red flag and keep searching for another weather gadget. There is no reason that a weather gadget should include a snippet link to another unrelated site.
Before saving new template code, always PREVIEW it first. Malicious template designers may sometimes include pop-ups or other unexpected ads in the template code, which will usually be revealed with a quick preview. If anything unexpected shows up in the preview, go ahead and discard the new code by clicking Clear Edits.
Backup your template! Whenever making significant changes to your blog's template, it's always a good idea to backup your content beforehand just in case you need to reverse changes.
You can easily do this from the Layout; Edit HTML tab by clicking the Download Full Template link and saving the .XML file to your hard drive. You'll then be able to revert back to this downloaded version by clicking the Upload button, also right under the Layout; Edit HTML tab.
Look first to 'trusted' code repositories for a new template or widget. There are probably thousands of places across the web where you can find widget and template code, but it may be helpful to first check out some of the more widely known and trusted sources.
The Blog Guy's Input:
Important Note: The Blog Guy test items on his own blog before issuing a Blog or website tip to his readers. This is of course not 100 percent guaranteed but it's better than you taking an all out risk on some code you don't know. That's why I get a lot of emails asking me about different Blogging Issues and Gadgets.

Questions for The Blog Guy
Hello Mr. Blog Guy,
Windows 7 is out today do you think I should install it or wait? I am using Vista now.
Although this is not a Blogging Question I will give you an opinion.
I think you should wait unless you have more than one computer. If you crash the one you have then there's a real problem.
Also, make sure you back-up your data before loading in any new major system software.

As of This Posting:
As of this posting, I have 212 Followers on my main Blog - Blogs Follow Me (http://blogsfollowme.blogspot.com)
I have created from those 212 followers a Blog Roll List in alphabetical order. Unlike my main Blog - Blogs Follow Me where Followers are categorized within many different Blog Roll List. I listed the Blogs and Websites here using only alpha numeric keys, so if your were using any characters or symbols in your Blog Name they were removed, so look for your blog name without them in alphabetical order.
Don't worry you are still on my Blog Roll List and my Links List on my main Blog - http://blogsfoolowme.blogspot.com/
You just now have double exposure for Search Engines to find you.
New Followers here or at Blogs Follow Me will be added to this Blog Roll List.
I am also following these Blogs, if possible.
I have ADDED to the Blog Roll List:
All Blogs and Websites under the user profile except Blogs that require someone to sign-in to access.
Not included or missed-
1/ - If I missed anyone I apologize, I am human. Please let me know and I will add you immediately.
2/ - I did not add any profiles. Some followers show up as a profile only.
3/ - I did not add anything for followers whose Icon Image did not produce a User Blog. This may be caused by an error in Google. It does happen. If you are one of those, please email me your Blog Name and complete URL Address and I will add it.
Thank you,
The Blog Guy
