Upgrading to Wordpress 2.1.2

Saturday, March 3rd, 2007 at 7:38 pm

Hello - 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 find my site useful.

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.

Simon Wakeman

I've been on the web since 2001 and have been blogging about marketing and public relations since January 2006.

I'm currently Head of Marketing at Medway Council as well as a freelance marketing and PR consultant.

The content and opinions expressed on this website are not endorsed by nor reflect the views of any company or organisation I work with.

I have always found him knowledgeable, pleasant and professional…I would happily recommend him to anyone needing a professional advisor in the areas of social media, web 2.0 and public sector communications although it’s worth mentioning that his skill set is much wider than that. Raul Gonzalez, Ether-Ray

I would like to endorse Simon’s professional approach when working with us in a freelance position and would not hesitate in recommending him. He has proved his value in picking up concepts and ideas with very little briefing and has always delivered on time - and what we wanted. Nick Bentley, Ether-Ray
