I’ve upgraded our blog to WordPress 2.8.2 without any glitches and issues. I used the core update feature of WordPress, after I noticed that due to one XSS vulnerability one could get redirected from the admin dashboard to URL mentioned in the comment forms. I would strongly suggest everyone to update their WordPress installation as it hardly takes a minute to upgrade.
In the world of computers and Internet, things get old pretty fast and that is one of the reason why we see WordPress software getting lot of updates frequently. This makes sure that WordPress not only stays safe from vulnerabilities but also gives you latest features that play major role in your blog’s success. We’ve been regular readers of various blogs about blogging and all these gurus suggest the same, why is that? They all understand the security concerns associated with WordPress and how one can stay peacefully after the upgrade.
