If you are running your blog on WordPress, you may have noticed and an update was released a couple weeks ago. I finally got around to upgrading my wordpress installation from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3. While this upgrade isn’t nearly as important as past upgrades, keeping up with all available security updates is always important for your site’s security. Luckily for me, I waited to upgrade from 2.1.0 to 2.1.1 as there was a major security issue with 2.1.1. So I skiped it and went straight to 2.1.2. I’ve learned that I should let someone else “eat the wordpress dog food” by running a version as soon as it is released. That is a phrase I’ve heard Microsoft use during many conferences. It basically means they run their software in production before they release it to the general public.
I’m still fairly new to the blogging scene, but have found that wordpress releases updates about every 3 weeks. So a word to the wise for all you new bloggers out there; make sure you keep your wordpress version on the cutting edge and not the bleeding edge.
