It seems that the WordPress development team inadvertently allowed a hacker into their midst and he/she included some unauthorized (and potentially dangerous) modifications to WordPress 2.1.1, the version I had just upgraded to last weekend.
So, I’ve had to scramble and install their new, “safe” release, 2.1.2. If you’ve noticed anything funky with this blog over the past hour or so, that’s probably why. Everything seems to be working now – let’s hope it stays that way.
On the bright side, I’m getting pretty good at the upgrade process…
