Welcome to my website. On my blog I write about marketing, public relations and digital communications. To keep up-to-date with my posts you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed or sign-up to receive blog posts by email.
Thanks for visiting and I hope you enjoy my site.

I’ve just upgraded the blog to run the latest version of Wordpress - v2.1.2 - which was released yesterday.

As usual with Wordpress a straightforward process, and assuming I manage to post this entry then a successful one too.

This release followed some security breaches and malicious code being introduced into the downloaded versions of the previous release, as Dougal explains:

If you recently installed version 2.1.1, you should upgrade to WordPress 2.1.2 immediately. There was a security breach on the server which housed the download archives, and some files in the 2.1.1 download were modified to include a serious security hole.

If you spot any glitches do drop me a line.
