I upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1 yesterday…and a bug was found today
April 27th, 2008
If you have upgraded to WordPress 2.5.1, you may have discovered a bug that hit a lot of people this weekend. What happens is if you change your password, the login link you are sent doesn’t work and you end up locked out. You can reset a WP password manually, and here is a link to two updated files that fix this issue.
The fix will also be included in 2.5.2, so if you haven’t upgraded yet, I suppose you could wait for that, however there were several important security fixes in 2.5.1, so I recommend upgrading and then uploading the two updated files.

I noticed you went to wordpress. I tried quite a few blog software programs and went to wordpress back in Feb, and never looked back. It was so much better and easier to use. Enjoy.

Thanks. I am both impressed and pleased with WordPress.

I noticed that you host your own wordpress software on your own box. I was thinking of that but after looking at the pro’s and cons of it, having wordpress host it was hands down the winner.
This is why.
They back up your data
They are always updating to the newest version
But for me the MAIN reason I used their site was because they send you traffic, when I put a tag in my messages people all over wordpress can find it. Many people surf tags and I get about half of my hits from this process.
Also it is easier for people to comment to track it. When I place a comment on another wordpress sites blog it goes into my comment history. I can easily look up my past comments and if there were any more after it. I can’t do that on your site because it is not part of the system.

Part of it is that I enjoy the admin side of hosting my own site. There are benefits and downsides each way. I also have far more control on the back end by hosting it myself, and I have a tendency to dig into the code for my sites and modify things from time to time. That is not easily done, and often impossible, by using their hosting.
