My apologies, site was down as our hosting company held a gun to my head and forced me to upgrade from WordPress 2.0 to WordPress 2.0.2. When I questioned why it was so important, they then proceeded to pistol-whip me and get food stains on all my manga. Faced with these challenges, I wilted like Gundam Seed Destiny and gave in to the demands.

Damn that hosting company for taking Sea Slugs hostage! I’m glad that your blog is finally up and running again, though.
Hehe! Well that is certainly a unique form of customer support, do you pay extra for that sort of thing?. ^_~
Although on a serious note I would imagine it was because the update to 2.0.2 was (from what I can gather) a significant security update for Wordpress 2.0.
Is the new update really critical? I feel lazy and I’m avoiding it only because I don’t want to screw up everything and set my blog on fire.
Everyone seems to think it’s pretty important, but it must have been a small tweak since it’s not even a 0.1 update…
I’m not sure they would dedicate a whole 2.x update to a security flaw, those sort of updates are usually released followng a big bug squishing campaign and the introduction of new features or the removal of bad ones like that new “visual rich editor”. But then again… what would I know.
Hahaha, removal of the visual rich editor, that is pretty funny =D. I wonder if that’s slated for WP 2.1
I dont like the visual editor… It only works on my PC and if i need to i edit on my mac… But then again i use ecto. More importantly, i know tiny MCE works on mac as vbuillitien works, even the old module style RTE for wordpress worked with safri… As i have my sites on a VPS my host just sent an e-mail to people known to run blogs saying they probably want to update, after some other customers encounterd some hackers…
