Wordpress upgrade

I’m not usually in the habit of posting about Wordpress upgrades unless they offer some startling new feature that you are likely to be salivating over :P However, this minor security upgrade is the first I have done from my Ubuntu-powered laptop. Installing the necessary software was a breeze (ftp uploading is one of the few things that Ubuntu Feisty doesn’t support out of the box) - just a matter of running Synaptic, searching for Filezilla (there might be better ones, but I use Filezilla on Windows so I thought consistency might be helpful) and then installing it.

Oh yeah, and I’ve got the upgrade to the new major release of Ubuntu to do in the near future. Unlike Microsoft and Apple, who want £250 and £85 for the upgrades to the full featured versions of their new operating systems, the Ubuntu upgrade is free and done from within the usual Updates Manager. Oh yeah, and the updater doesn’t install software without my consent.
