If you follow the news or hit the boards you probably know Wordpress installs have been getting hit just about everywhere. You know it’s bad when your host sends you an e-mail about it.

So yesterday and today I took the plunge. I updated all 15 blogs to the newest Wordpress, 2.5.1. Wasn’t as bad as I thought, I had been putting it off.

In reality, if you want to be one of those that finds the good in everything, which I try my best, this exploit problem was a good thing.

• I was forced to back up my databases, something I don’t do often enough.
• I upgraded to the latest and more secure Wordpress version.
• Now I have the cool new version with all the new extras. (still getting use to it).
• Was able to clean up, un-used theme’s, un-used plug-ins, ect.

It wasn’t a bad thing after all.

Did you upgrade yours? I found the current exploit on every one of my blogs, every one.
