New Version Of WordPress Is Out

Look alive there folks, WordPress has released an update to their web publishing platform.  Version 2.8.1 is live and it seems like a quick and easy upgrade.  In case you haven’t tried WordPress lately (or at all), or haven’t upgraded in a few versions, they now have built in the capability to upgrade not only plugins, but also the whole distro right through the point and click admin panel or dahsboard.  You need an FTP account somewhere to make the magic happen, but most people running a web site have that, and if not they are easy to come by.  So far, I have had great success with their automatic upgrade features, both for plugins and WordPress itself.  Being who I am I was very skeptical at first, but it’s actually worked wonderfully so I thought I would share.  Now, get out there and get to upgrading.  Unlike some other software entities that add more bugs and security holes than they fix, the guys and gals at WordPress actually imrpove the software with each new release.  Let me know what you think, post a comment and share your opinion.

Tell me what you are thinking?
