If you host your own WordPress blog and not use a blogging site like WordPress.com it is important you secure your installation.
Securing WordPress

WordPress and Gallery2 setup.
-
For an other site I had to implement a gallery into WordPress. I use Lightroom to catalog my photos and there’s a plug-in for Lightroom that can export directly into a remote Gallery2 set up, so the choice for Gallery2 was a no-brainer for me. I downloaded the WordPress 2.3.2 , the Subversion version of Gallery2 and the WPG2 3.0.2, which is a plug-in to integrate Gallery2 into WordPress and started implementing the whole setup.
WordPress 2.3.2 upgrade
-
A new security update was released and it was a flawless upgrade
WordPress 2.3.1 upgrade
-
I installed WordPress 2.3.1.
Quoting the WordPress website
2.3.1 fixes over twenty bugs. Some of the notable fixes are:
- Tagging support for Windows Live Writer
- Fixes for a login bug that affected those with a Blog Address different than
their WordPress Address- Faster taxonomy database queries, especially tag intersection queries
- Link importer fixes
Unfortunately, some security issues were found in 2.3. Janek Vind found an XSS problem that can be exploited if your php setup has register_globals enabled. For this reason, upgrading to 2.3.1 is advised.
WordPress 2.3 upgrade
-
I just upgraded WordPress to version 2.3.
This was my first WordPress upgrade and it was the easiest upgrade I have ever done in my life.
