re Worm / Determining WordPress version
-
Re the press release about a wom affecting WordPress versions prior to 2.8.4. http://wordpress.org/development/2009/09/keep-wordpress-secure/
How can I determine what version of WordPress I’ve got? How does one upgrade? And how does back-up before upgrading?
Clearly, my tech skills are limited, if not altogether pitiful… Help, please!
Thanks….
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

We can’t help you here if you are independently-hosted. We need a link to your blog to determine where you are hosted. If you’re hosted here at WordPress.COM you have nothing to worry about. If you are independently-hosted, you need to be at http://wordpress.ORG for support.

Blogs hosted at WordPress.com are secure. The problem affects only self-hosted WordPress installs that are running an old insecure version.
http://ismyblogworking.com/ will usually report the WordPress version number.

Thank you all! (though ismyblogworking actually didn’t note the version…) I think I’m alright. I’ll ask a techier friend in the morning to take a look to be sure. I’m also still a bit vague on the backup, which seems like a remarkably good idea…
best,

Read this, if you’re independently-hosted and worried:
-
imbw doesn’t report a version number for your blog because it’s hosted at WordPress.com.
-
Well there’s good news! Still, in most of the news reports it seems they leave that critical little detail about hosting.
Onto the back up issue, other than a periodic Time Machine back up for my computer in general, is there something I should be doing for my blog in particular? (http://trackerblog.instedd.org).
Many thanks again…
