The nature of WordPress updates

WordPress is the software that powers my blog. It does a good job of things and it was easy to take my Blogger content and import it into WP.

Every now and then though, WordPress will come out with a new update (that’s good). Improvements and patches to the software. I think they went something like 65 days without a new update once. New record.

Anyways, the upgrade cycle goes something like this -

Totally awesome new FEATURES. Dood. You gotta get this update. It’s really really awesome. Killer tight new features. Doood.

And then like 2 weeks later -

DOOD! URGENT UPGRADE!  SECURITY BREACH UPGRADE NOW NOW NOW NOW! Dood and by the way? You can now totally customize the database error page. Awesome.
