There is a Security Update for anyone who uses the Wordpress Blogging Software.
Please note it is extremely important that you install the latest version of Wordpress to keep up to date and secure your blog from many threats out there.
Here is a snippet from Wordpress.org
WordPress 2.3.2 is an urgent security release that fixes a bug that can be used to expose your draft posts (http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5487). 2.3.2 also suppresses some error messages (http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/5473) that can give away information about your database table structure and limits and stops some information leaks in the XML-RPC and APP implementations. Get 2.3.2 now (http://wordpress.org/download/) to protect your blog from these disclosures
As a little bonus, 2.3.2 allows you to define a custom DB error page. Place your custom template at wp-content/db-error.php. If WP has a problem connecting to your database, this page will displayed rather than the default error message.You can download the newest version by going here (http://wordpress.org/download/) which will be version 2.3.2.
Please also note please make sure you download and update any plugins you have installed at this time also.
If you need help installing/upgrading please let me know and I will help were i can.
As more updates occur I will post them here and inform you the user so you can make sure you are safe.
