We finally got around to upgrading the site to Wordpress 2.5. We’ve been very bad this time around this time by waiting almost three weeks before upgrading our Wordpress 2.3 site to newer and more secure versions. Luckily, we’re in a “holding pattern” for adding a whole lot of content to this blog, because Technorati (a blog indexing service) decided to remove insecure Wordpress sitesкомпютри втора употреба from their index. If you’re a Wordpress user, you really should check and make sure your blog is updated with the latest stable release of Wordpress.
Wordpress 2.5 contains a lot of new features…and mostly on the publisher/author/administrative side of the blog. So far, my most favorite new feature is the almost automatic plug-in upgrades.
Few-click plugin upgrades — if the plugins you use are part of the plugin directory since 2.3 we’ve told you when they have an update available. Now we take that to the next logical step — downloading and installing the upgrade for you. This is dependent a little bit on your host setup, and it may ask you for your FTP password much like OS X or Windows will ask you for a password, but it works well on majority of hosts we were able to test, your mileage may very, plugins in mirror may be larger than they appear.
We’ll talk more about Wordpress 2.5 once I get to know about it more. Expect an article on Wordpress to be posted either here or at CMSReport.com.
