Wordpress Pain
Blogging has always taken a backseat to experimenting with cool new .NET bits. I still get the impetus to blog but whenever I have time to do anything I always have to upgrade Wordpress to the latest version for some security reason.
Wordpress’s success has always been a doubled edge sword when it comes to security. Since its so ubiquitous its just a huge target for spammers and security violations. I don’t blame the developers or any aspect about Wordpress for these problems, I just blame success.
Success comes with pain though, for me.
I want to blog, I have to upgrade, I want to blog, I have to upgrade, blog, upgrade.
By the time I’m done upgrading the site, 20 minute to upload and upgrade at max, my motivation is gone. Sucks really. I may have to migrate platforms or I’m never going to post anything.
…
So I update to 2.8.4, check wordpress.com for some information about a plugin and 2.8.5 the hardening release was released… 2 hours ago…
I can’t win.
