CompuSkills Blog

Just to let you know, if you haven’t already seen it on the dashboard, but WordPress has been upgraded to 2.6.5.

This upgrade fixes a security problem so unless you have an overwhelming reason not to, it is advised that you upgrade as soon as possible. From the WP Blog:

The security issue is an XSS exploit discovered by Jeremias Reith that fortunately only affects IP-based virtual servers running on Apache 2.x. If you are interested only in the security fix, copy wp-includes/feed.php and wp-includes/version.php from the 2.6.5 release package.

Also, as a result of the faked 2.6.4 version that was passed around, WP decided to skip this release number (which is why you should be upgrading from 2.6.3 to 2.6.5). WordPress have stated there will never be a verion 2.6.4 release.

It seems that Compuskills Web Design Blog is now ranked as “Number 1″ in the world by Technorati! I am sure there are lots of you who wont believe this, and it may even no longer be the case by the time you check but, to prove the point, we have taken a screenshot:

(Note: We are aware this is almost certainly down to a technorati error — it seems like they regularly break, which is reassuring for people investing in webservices for their office programs… — but it is nice to pretend once in a while!)
