Keeping WordPress Secure

Your wordpress needs to be updated. If you have not been keeping up with your upgrades; now is the time to make that happen.

Rather than explaining here I will paste the link from WordPress

WordPress Attack

Update it today. Do not delay.

You can update right from your blog backoffice.

Login to your wordpress dashboard. Backup backup backup

For backup directions check out the following:

Backing Up your WordPress

You can also complete the following…but it is certainly not the preferred method.

Click on Tools
Click on Export
Export all users

After that IF you see at the top of your dashboard a link that says WordPress 2.8.4 is available…click on Please Update now.

It’s also important to note that if you login and see a number next to your plugins that is an instant message to you that your plugins need to be updated. By keeping your blog updated you have less chance of being exposed to these silent but deadly “worms”.
