Upgrades people, upgrades. No more of this broken-down, used up, out-mode junk! The WordPress 2.6 I was using has been traded up to a newer release. The change went smoothly and the early reviews of the site show there are no harmful side-effects.
My one word of caution to anyone running an old version, never fear the change and always read the documentation. The WordPress upgrade page was accurate and made my change go as smooth as a newborn’s rear. The backend (or rear!) of the application is also very nice. It has a sort of iGoogle feel to it, but not too tough to get around in. The only real reason I didn’t make any upgrades to the site before now, was there was nothing going wrong with the site…until this morning that is.
EDS-Online was hacked by a phisher, masquerading as a bank from the UK. It seems that one of my portfolio designs was no longer secure and my WordPress index page was deleted. They had access to, and had placed a phishing site within, my directory. Not too malicious, just annoying. All seems to be repaired and the crack in the old armor has been patched up. Rather quickly I might add. I had securities in place within an hour (stopping all access to the phishing site) and the site was upgraded and back live in about 4 hours total. I of course had to work around my work schedule to get it done. But my boss was none the wiser, as I completed all tasks anyway! Yes, I am usually a multitasking nightmare, but not today!
Now I can go back to my blissful existence of ignorance and tube watching! By the way, my Penguins just killed the Capitals last night… 6-2! Way to go boys.
