WordPress 4.1 “Dinah” has been born.
The upgrade will probably happen automatically in a few days, but if you go on to you blog now you can force the update. We will no doubt get a 4.1.1 very soon, as this always seems to happen. 🙂
There is a list of new features that I think is meant to thrill me, but I’m looking at everything post upgrade and it all seems pretty much the same. I tried the new Twenty Fifteen theme, but I was not really happy with it, so I went back to my ultra-plain theme. 🙂
I’m sure there are some bug fixes and it always pays to be up to date with this stuff.
Happy upgrading.

I got a bunch of emails this morning telling me by blogs had upgraded to WordPress 4.0.1. It’s a critical security release, so if you’ve not done an auto-update, you really need to get this sorted.
The downloads and changelog are in the usual places.

WordPress 4.0 “Benny” has been released. The download is in the usual place, but you are probably going to upgrade by clicking the auto-upgrade button.
I did 4 upgrades and all went fine. I can’t say things look that different after it, but you’ve got to keep on top of these upgrades I guess.

WordPress 3.9.2 has been released. It’s a security release with a bunch of important fixes for some nasties. The changelog is here.
Depending on your setup, you might have automatically updated anyway. If not, go on to your dashboard and give it a nudge. 🙂

Hot on the heels of WordPress 3.8.3 comes WordPress 3.9! The downloads and changelog are in the usual places.
I’ve just manually initiated the auto-update on five blogs and all went through OK.

WordPress 3.8.3 came out yesterday. It’s a small maintenance release, with the downloads and changelog in the usual places. For many people, this update will happen automatically and they’ll just receive and email to say it has been applied.
I’m still not sure what to make of the auto-update feature of WordPress. Part of me likes it and part of me is a bit irritated by it. For the lazy folks out there, I think it is a really good idea, but for those who are on their blog admin screens regularly it might seem like a source of confusion. I currently self-host 5 WordPress blogs and the auto-update feature seems a little erratic. One blog always auto-updates as soon as the new a new release comes out. A couple sometimes do. I don’t think this blog has ever auto-updated…
I’d be interested to hear if other self-hosting WordPress bloggers have had a similar experience…

WordPress 3.8.1 has been released. You can see the changelog here. Now that WordPress has a true auto-update feature, if you can’t be bothered to manually press the update button today, wait a little while and it will update itself automatically. 🙂
Happy upgrading (or doing nothing). 🙂

A big shout out goes to Amardeep Sidhu, who pointed me to WPtouch to me recently. Install and activate this plugin and your WordPress blog is mobile aware, presenting a trimmed down view on mobile devices.
It really is that simple. No messing involved. If you have a WordPress blog, you may want to have a play with this plugin.

WordPress 3.8 has arrived. The download and changelog are in the usual places.
The admin interface has had quite a big redesign. I think it looks neater, but I’m sure it will take a bit of getting used to. The nice thing is it’s mobile aware now. If I run it on my Nexus 7 in landscape I get something similar to the browser view. If I switch to portrait it rearranges the screen to make it fit better. Neat.
The auto-updater (manually initiated) worked fine on 5 blogs, so not worries there.
