WordPress Upgrade

WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose draft posts.

To my surprise, Dreamhost updated their Goodies – One-Click-Install just in hours to facilitate the mentioned security upgrade of WordPress.

The upgrade procedure was easy to follow, and kept intact my WPG2 plug-in, as well the custom Mimbo based theme.

No database update was required.

No downtime to bojica.com website. Good job!
