Apparently, WordPress versions earlier than 2.8.4 are under attack. Upgrade today, folks.

If you’ve got a pretty recent version of WordPress, login to your admin panel and expand the “Tools” section. Click on “Upgrade.” That should clue you in on whether or not you are using the most recent version. Recent versions have a one-click upgrade option, but it doesn’t work with all hosting configurations. If yours doesn’t, you’ll have to go through the whole fun-tastic upgrade process.

Lorelle’s covering the issue more thoroughly, and she’s got a list of other articles referencing it, in case you’re interested. (And thanks to cj Madigan for alerting me over the weekend. This definitely isn’t breaking news, so if you haven’t upgraded yet, it should be a priority.)

Heading to Boulder for some high-style fun

I’ll be traveling on Wednesday and Friday, so it’ll be quiet here this week. However, traveling always inspires lots of profound tweeting, so we can keep in touch there. If you happen to be in Boulder, don’t forget to let me know so that we can hang out at the clothing swap. I’ll be in Nashville when I get back from Boulder, so…Nashville friends? We should hang, too.

See you guys back here next Monday! In the meantime, upgrade and be happy.
