I think now it is time for me to move to WordPress 2.2
I moved to WP 2.2 2 weeks back. Now I’m not going to update it. They release updates each and every week.
I am still at WP 2.1 .
@Benedict and Madhur
Its better to update becoz its a security fix release.
@Nirmal
Sometimes its annoying to update each and every week, but its good that they take very serious about the security.
Hmm… Gotta upgrade… Thanks for the info
@Shankar
you are welcome
I’ll hold off on this update. I’d prefer to wait for something more of significant update.
