Upgrade your wordpress, don’t get hacked!
I don’t want to be repetitive but it’s very important for you to upgrade to wordpress 2.2. You must make it a rule of thumb to upgrade to a newer version of wordpress whenever the new version is out. Especially when the updates covers security holes in the application.
Actually, it’s applicable to any softwares out there, it’s always safe to update your software as often as possible. This will enable you to stay secure and up to date with the latest features of the software.
Recently, Hong Kiat was hacked, he blogs about it on his blog here. His blog was hacked because he didn’t upgrade his wordpress to a newer version. Because of this he lost 2-3 days posts. Luckily he did back up his blog so he did not lose much content.
