Ok, it’s time for WordPress upgrade again but don’t get panic because it’s just a minor upgrade. In fact, there is only 1 file affected in this upgrade, which is wp-includes/class-snoopy.php.

WordPress team is again very impressive in fixing vulnerabilities. After just a few hours a vulnerability in the Snoopy library was announced they’ve come out with a fixed version. Top notch support!

If you are currently using WordPress 2.6.2, there are only 2 files to be replaced :-

• 1. wp-includes/class-snoopy.php
• 2. wp-includes/version.php

Just download from the link I provided, then replace the 2 files on your server.

If you are using other older versions, then you’ll have to download the full WordPress 2.6.3 upgrade package and run the upgrade process.

Happy blogging!

Entering the second day after Firefox 3.0 was released, mixed feedback was heard. Personally, I am satisfied with Firefox 3.0, except the Smart Location Bar, or so called Awesome Bar. I don’t like the autocomplete nature of this Smart Location Bar, as it lists out the possible bookmarked site or previously visited sites while I’m typing in the address. I know the purpose is to save my time and hassle to type the whole address but it’s annoying me more than helping because I need to choose from some irrelevant results listed. I guess some Firefox users who used Firefox 2.0 before the upgrade will feel the same too.

If you are thinking of disabling this Smart Location Bar from automatically listing, do some tweaking to Firefox 3 then.

Good news for all WordPress users, old and new. A brand new theme viewer was launched by WordPress yesterday. This theme viewer will definitely give you a nice browsing experience while selecting theme for your blog. Instead of going through the lengthy theme list in WordPress Codex, you are now able to browse 8-16 themes at one time. This will certainly save you some time.

Other than viewing the theme in thumbnails, you can check the demo site of a particular theme by just clicking on the PC-like icon at the right bottom corner of the thumbnail. The Download icon just sits on the left of the Demo icon while More Info icon is on the right.
