This is just a friendly reminder to all of you bloggers out there. Keep your blogging software updated to the latest version. This can help save you a lot of troubles.

If your blog uses WordPress, than you should be running version 2.1.3. It has a number of security related fixes, so if you are running anything less than that, you should upgrade.

If you don’t know how to find your current WordPress version - it’s really easy. Login to the administration interface. You’ll see the Dashboard (the one saying “Welcome to WordPress”). At the bottom of this page you will see a WordPress logo and links to documentation and support forums. Just under those links you will see your WordPress version and the page loading time.

If you see that your WordPress version is less than 2.1.3 (for example, 2.1.2 or 2.0.1), and you are not managing your blog by yourself, forward the reminder to the administrator of your blog. Maybe he forgot to update or missed the announcement of the new version.
