Has Someone Hijacked Your Blog?
After the adventure that I had during my last upgrade to WordPress 2.2.1, I *was* going to bypass version 2.2.2 and just wait for September’s release of 2.3. And then I read about one blogger who had his blog hijacked, robbing him of all of his site’s traffic. If you’re depending upon your blog for income, you can imagine what a financial blow this can be. The good news is that he managed to figure the how and why. Still, his post about this thievery reads like a detective novel and has me reconsidering the security upgrade in WordPress’ 2.2.2. ::: sigh ::: Maintaining a blog shouldn’t be this difficult…

Oh wow… what a story.
Maintaining any kind of site is always a pain, and most of us (especially me) get lazy about updates and upgrades. This is a good reminder!
