Just a quick note to let everyone know that a new version of WordPress was released (WP 2.3.3) to address some urgent security related issues and it is highly recommend that you upgrade to it as soon as you can. So far I’ve upgraded one of my sites and the upgrade went very smoothly. When I have more time, I’ll report back on how the upgrades have gone on the remainder of my sites - including this one - like many people with large WP sites, I’m always scared when performing an upgrade b/c there have been times in the past where they’ve caused issues that resulted in my site being down for 1+ days while I researched in the support forums how to get my site back up and running — this is one of my main complaints about WordPress even though I love it in almost all other ways. This is also why for those who are not technically inclined, I really recommend using a hosted blog service like TypePad or WordPress.com (if you want to use javascript or adsense ads, you’ll have to go for TypePad, which costs money as opposed to the free WordPress.com)

I apologize that it has seemed like forever since I updated How To Blog.

I was ridiculously busy for months with planning my wedding, then I was on my honeymoon, and then I had the misfortune of sustaining a severe head injury which is only now finally fully healed so that I can finally get back on the computer.

As such, I’m crazy behind in all of my work and emails, so I’m playing catchup and look forward to being able to get back to blogging in the (hopefully) near future!! I do miss writing as well as keeping in touch with all of you guys!

Wish me luck in getting my business back in order sooner rather than later so I can start bringing you more blogging tips as soon as possible!

I’ve missed you all. Thanks for continuing to be loyal readers of How to Blog!!
