    "WordPress 3.0, the thirteenth major release "

    If only there were some way of counting major releases, such that one could tell how many there were, and by extension, know how many versions had been released prior...

    I clicked one bottom and it updated. Everything seems to be working normally.

    What fun is this ;)

    I have to ask: Is it no longer a steaming pile of security holes? Seriously, most people I know have given up blogs and moved to Facebook or some hosted blogging service to get their message out. After getting hacked a couple of times I've put it in the same category as PHPNuke -- too much trouble to be worth it to anyone for whom it's not their job.
