Weren’t we just talking about upgrading to the latest and greatest version of WordPress just yesterday? Well today Ryan Boren has just posted at the WordPress.org blog about the release of the WordPress 2.8.3 Security Release. As he mentions in the posting this fix is related to the privilege escalation issues in version 2.8.1. What he says next is the real reason why WordPress is so popular and well supported: Luckily, the entire WordPress community has our backs. Several folks in the community dug deeper and discovered areas that were overlooked. With their help, the remaining issues are fixed in 2.8.3. Ryan is right – it is the community that looks after each other. Where else would you have such a diverse and talented group who points out any issues instead of just taking them public even though it would draw a lot of attention and maybe fame for themselves?

It had gotten a little long in the tooth as it was published back in late December 2005. However, WordPress 2.0 was revolutionary in many ways. Think back to WordPress 2.0 and how that changed WordPress as we knew it at the time. Some of those changes we now take for granted included: Completely Redesigned Backend Included Spam and Backup Plugins Inline Uploading Faster Posting Post Preview User Roles labelled Header Customization WordPress 2.0 certainly set us on the path to the WordPress we know and love today. Congratulations 2.0 on a terrific service life – rest in peace “Duke”. Time For An Upgrade? What does this mean for you as an individual blogger, website developer […]

[Continue Reading...]Last week I posted a blog entry to generate discussions about how you work at Developing Post Ideas for Your WordPress Site. The response by everyone was tremendous – 33 comments and quite a few great ideas. It seemed that the most popular way to keep track of ideas for blog entries is by using the built in draft functionality of WordPress. You can do this via the Admin Post writing interface or even via offline tools such as Windows Live Writer. A quick title and a few words, lines about what you want to write about and then save it as a draft. That draft will happily sit there waiting for you to come back to it when your ready or when you have more info to write down towards the idea/post. Once you get the post where you want it and feel the inspiration to complete it then […]

I have served for 26 plus years in the Navy and am a Master Chief Petty Officer. My work background in the Navy is telecommunications related so my hobby of computers fit well in what I did for the Navy. I consider myself a tech geek and enjoy most things in that arena. My first website - AnotherWin95.com - came online in 1996. Back then I used GeoCities Web Hosting for it and have all the GeoCities “stuff” to show for it! I have progressed from a single page, link-filled, static html page to using PHP, databases and coding to make my pages.
