I am back to blogging again and will try my best to blog at least 1 topics a day. Richard Palace dot Com has been upgraded to WordPress 2.6.3 (the latest version available today at WordPress.org) and all the WordPress Plugins has also been updated.

Recently I bought an iPod Touch 8 GB as I still have an existing contract with StarHub, a Singapore Mobile Phone Company. So far, I am impressed with this wonderful slim gadget which is very internet friendly. I will decide if i want to get an iPhone when the contract ends.

In the next few days, I will get a new theme and also a iPhone theme for mobile access.

WordPress 2.3.3 is an urgent security release. If you have registration enabled a flaw was found in the XML-RPC implementation such that a specially crafted request would allow a user to edit posts of other users on that blog. In addition to fixing this security flaw, 2.3.3 fixes a few minor bugs. If you are interested only in the security fix, download the fixed version of xmlrpc.php and copy it over your existing xmlrpc.php. Otherwise, you can get the entire release here.

Also, there is a vulnerability in the WP-Forum plugin that is being actively exploited right now. If you are using this plugin, please remove it until an update is available from its author.

Since we are talking security, remember to use strong passwords and change them regularly. While you’re updating WP and your plugins, consider refreshing your passwords.
