Upgraded WordPress

by @ 7:21 pm on 5/3/2008. Filed under updates

So I did something I always have some amount of trepidation doing… upgraded my web software, in particular I upgraded WordPress. This was needed, there was a security issue in the older version I was using and someone actually poked themselves into it and popped some hidden links into the blog entries. No harm to you, no fears. Just pissed me off.

So if you see anything weird, let me know.

    There is a nice little plugin you can install for WP that will upgrade everything automatically for you. It will disable all your plugins, grab the newest WP version, update the DB and re-enable your plugins. Takes about 10 seconds to do everything, it is pretty slick.
