 * The wordPress function Press this being blocked by mod_security
 * Forbidden: You don’t have permission to access /wp-admin/press-this.php on this
   server. Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use
   an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
 * My Hosting Provider “Power Hosting Australia” Host says:
 * addon is being blocked by mod_security because it allows code injection (ie: 
   it gives hackers a backdoor way of attacking your site or the server). I’d recommend
   you either find another addon or contact the developer to see what solutions 
   he may be able to come up with.I can’t whitelist your sites in mod_security because
   it will not only make your sites vulnerable it creates a hole in the server security.
 * Can the WordPress overcome this problem
