GoDaddy SSL .crt File Won't Uncompress/unzip in Windows 2003

I ran into a problem today with Windows 2003 not wanting to uncompress or unzip all the required ssl certificate files from the GoDaddy certificate zip file you download from their certificate manager. The problem appears to be that post SP1 in 2003, the operating system blocks certain files from being uncompressed when they are downloaded from the internet. In this case, it would unzip the .p7b file, but not the .crt file in the archive. My solution:

1. Right mouse click the zip file
2. Choose "Properties"
3. In the general tab, click the button "Unblock"

Now you should be able to uncompress all the files in the zip archive.

WordPress RSS Feed Widget: Links in New Window

I saw a lot of people ask this question in various forums with little to no assistance from the community at large. The majority of the responses told people to install a different widget called "Better RSS Widget" - That's all fine and nice, but no one had an actual solution to the question of "How do I edit the default rss widget in wordpress?" Here's my solution (as of WP 2.9.2):

1. Open default-widgets.php
2. Look around line 842 for a line that contains the list item <li> for the link in the widget. I found mine by searching for the string: class="rsswidget"
3. Add to this link: target='_blank'

If the above instructions don't make sense to you, then you should probably save yourself the headache and just install the "Better RSS Widget". I have no idea if newer versions of WP are going to break this fix, so you're on your own. I suppose I'll be installing the "Better RSS Widget" as well if a WP update breaks this functionality.
