WordPress put out an urgent security release today. If you are using an older version of WordPress you should consider upgrading to version 2.3.3 as soon as possible.
I was about to do the manual update when I was pointed to this tool from Scott’s Twiiter . It’s the WordPress Automatic Updater plug-in (GPL). WAUP is an easy point-n-click way to upgrade WordPress versions. It not only upgraded my copy of WordPress but made backups first in case something went wrong. Very slick.

I really, really like the idea of this and was very disappointed to find out that for it to work, you need to have FTP active on your website. WTF? So, in order to make my site more secure I have to make it less secure by using a very insecure protocol? At least it should support sftp. Oh well.
BTW, any chance you could install the WordPress OpenID plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/openid/ so that people could use OpenIDs to post?
