Urgent! If you have Wordpress 2.1.1 upgrade to 2.1.2

March 3, 2007 in Frugal Tech by Rebecca | 2 comments

I used to publish with Blogger and then Typepad but finally settled on a self hosted blog at A Small Orange using Wordpress. You can read about my odyssey in my comment on the article, “What Blogging tool Do You Use And Why”on Lorelle on Wordpress, at my article,”Thoughts on Moving On“, and at my article “A New Home for Beck’s Cafe”

One of the (many) great things about Wordpress is how responsive the community is. To that end if your running Wordpress 2.1.1 HEED this ANNOUNCEMENT from the Wordpress Development Blog:

If you downloaded WordPress 2.1.1 within the past 3-4 days, your files may include a security exploit that was added by a cracker, and you should upgrade all of your files to 2.1.2 immediately.

Clearly malicious hackers still have way too much time on their hands…

  • Download 2.1.1 from Wordpress.org by visiting this link HERE
  • See the official notice of the 2.1.1 code risk at this link HERE
  • Reach the Wordpress community support site at this link HERE

Hey Morwen!

Thank you for the nice comment and encouragement to keep writing :-)

I do love Wordpress. Typepad and Blogger were nice but as I posted about in the past here and at Lorelle on Wordpress, Wordpress is just a nice, simple and elegant platform to work from. As you can see I’m a bit behind in upgrading! Thank goodness for Akismet too, I’d be overrun with SPAM without that little nicety.

Keep up the awesome job keepin’ ‘em honest in NOLA! I like reading Gentilly Girl. I usually go there to get the straight story after I’ve read something in the news about NOLA.
