WordPress releases WordPress 2.8.4

WordPress team has announced WordPress 2.8.4. This release happens to be a security release. This release among other issues addresses a vulnerability discovered a couple of days back. What that vulnerability did was that it allowed an attacker to perform an unsolicited password reset. According to WordPress:

Yesterday a vulnerability was discovered: a specially crafted URL could be requested that would allow an attacker to bypass a security check to verify a user requested a password reset. As a result, the first account without a key in the database (usually the admin account) would have its password reset and a new password would be emailed to the account owner. This doesn’t allow remote access, but it is very annoying.

We fixed this problem last night and have been testing the fixes and looking for other problems since then. Version 2.8.4 which fixes all known problems is now available for download and is highly recommended for all users of WordPress.

It’s Very Funny to find that People keep on posting like 4-10 posts per day on their blog and actually don’t change their Blog title!

Just Google the Query : “Just another wordpress weblog”

Picture 4What do you see? 145,000,000 results being showed. Most of these are out there because their Blog Sub-Title hasn’t been changed to some other suitable thing. Common, you can’t be more lazy than that, or perhaps the Blogger is too busy posting content.

Blogging seem to be a new thing buzzing up around (Atleast in India) :) and so it’s obvious that people do love to to pick up new thing, Experiment and try new things with it, Right?

Loads of bloggers start blogging because the have heard that you can make “Money” from it. Yes, i might find it funny but yes, this terms very popular and that becomes the main reason for people to start blogging.

Now comes the sad but true part of the story. 85% of the bloggers quit blogging after about a month with their blog and these people are all those people whose main aim is to Make money by blogging. It’s next to Impossible to start making money from your blog in less then one month, except some :)

So the root of the Problem is “Money”. Just a tip from me, Try Blogging because you like it, because you love the Topic and writing. Make money the secondary thing. Put all your hard work behind the blog and keep reading, Always as it does help you more and more things which will help you with your blog.

Moral of the Story is that Don’t keep the intention of making money…. Go ahead and write about what you love, your passion and you will succeed!
