I agree about keeping it up to date, but that can have hazards in itself. Quite regularly when there have been wordpress updates there are security issues with those. Its very hard to keep up to date safely.

What a nightmare!!!!

I know once I had looked at the trackback section on the dashboard and noticed a load of link backs to porn sites.

They linked to pages and folders that shouldn’t be there – on looking, I found a ton of folders and sub folders all containing tiny mini html files that were some kind of porn link fest!!!

I also found one site that was leaching to one of my images – a PDA photo.

I changed the PDA photo to an image saying something down about the link stealers site and I removed all the folders with the html files.

This is when I realised how important keeping the blog upto date was.

All scary stuff, huh?
