New WordPress 2.6 is here

The new WordPress is here one month before schedule and it’s the 2.6 you should look out for. But I am sure you already know it because now WordPress have a small icon in the blog admin that keep on telling you to upgrade.

Some of the new features in the WordPress 2.6 a word counter so you never have to use another tool to count your words. There is also a small bubble reminder when you should update your plug in. There is also a bulk management of the same plug in and I really like the new system where you not have to check yourself for an update.

There are also some security fixes and 194 bugs fixed all for the price of nothing.

Is your WordPress secure

Do you think your website is safe with the new WordPress blog scrip? You better think again. People (yeah hackers are people to) are sharing the latest hacks and ways to insert links on your website on different sites on the internet. Some might call it warnings other and some might call it informing other how to do it.

If you look up the site milw0rm on the internet you will see a number or scripts and plug-ins that you might have on your website. I would recommend everybody using different script on their website to check this website first to make sure it does not have a security problem.

WordPress 2.5 looks stable

I am a bit surprised but in a good way that WordPress 2.5 has been updated to 2.51 already. That means that they really did a good work updating the script and went through all the security and bugs before launching it.

The 2.5 version that was launched the 29 of march this year is full with new cool features such as safer password, built in galleries, faster database, easier widgets and much more.

If you have not updated yet check your favorite plug in so they work with the new version and the template off course and have fun with the new WordPress 2.5.
