WordPress security has become one of the “involved” topics for me this year and led to the creation of the concept I called “Triple P Of WordPress Security“. Idea behind it extremely simple – create a comprehensive and easy to carry out and support security perimeter for your blog that will allow you not only be protected against current exploits and any new, “Zero Day” hacks that will inevitably be created but also help you recover your blog WHEN disaster strikes!

And I used word WHEN for a reason – No Site Is 100% Secure!

Be it a blog, static site or any other script driven online presence – it is always in danger, just with some scripts more that with others! My goal was to help people secure their WordPress installations using a set of easy to follow video presentations and this is how Lock Your Blog was born!

Unexpectedly I logged in tonight to discover that new version of WordPress is made available and its not WordPress 2.9!

New release is a security hardening branch to help you stay more secure and while I haven’t seen any direct urging notifications on developers blog, it addresses several security issues that exist in your blog and as such – Upgrade Highly Recommended!

As I write this post, my main blog as well as 5 of my Niche Blogs that have different plugins and theme configurations were upgraded with no problems using Automated Upgrade option so I think its safe to say that go ahead and upgrade now!

Just be sure to backup first!
