I’ve grown sick of upgrading WordPress every time yet another security hole is found (let alone after actually being hacked). Fortunately, Dreamhost now offers a hosted WordPress installation; now my blog will be upgraded by people whose job it is to pay attention to WordPress releases, not by me. Sure, I lose on customization, but I have better things to do than delete Viagra spam from footer.php.
The hosted-WordPress only works on entire domains, so the blog has moved from davidglasser.net/point to http://point.davidglasser.net/. A bit of mod_rewrite fun seems to make my old URLs keep working, at least. Perhaps you need to update your feed subscriptions.
And just for the hell of it, here’s a new theme.

On a sidenote, there is an Instant Upgrade plugin available that makes it pretty painless: http://www.zirona.com/software/wordpress-instant-upgrade/
It’s true. But the spammers are still faster than it’s worth my while to care, I think.
I hate upgrading wordpress too, blah. I hate it more than most things. thanks for the dreamhost tip.
