  1. Major CMS upgrade

    Expressionengine 1.7.1 -> 2.4 Major upgrade
    - We needed to upgrade for future grow, more on this soon.
    - New version is faster and more secure.
    - and a lot more....

    Installed AutoMin (an EE module)
    - caching
    - Compressing HTML Markup (no more nice html code)
    - Combining css files (into one)
    - Combining js files (into one)

    The website now uses MemCache and APC, a really great improvement in page loading speed.

    Installed Http:BL antiSpam for forum and contact forms.
    This is also why I joined the projecthoneypot.org

    1. Protect your images

      There are several ways to low-level protect your images.
      But all who know a bit of html can always look in your source code.

      - one way is using javascript to disable the right mouse function.
      - an other way is to place all your images in a css background-image.

      What I did was combining imgsizer with css background-image, but this case with a layer on top as watermark.

      {exp:imgsizer:size src="{original}" height="xx" quality="85"}

      <img src="watermark.png" "width="xx" height="xx" title="{title}" alt="{title}" style="background-image:url({sized}); width:{width}px; height:{height}px;"/>

      {/exp:imgsizer:size}
