I have been blogging for this same topic for up to 2 years now, – what I have usually believed is that it needs time to work to be able to overcome on this thing. But when someone said your post, I was really amazed that there are lots of ways to go about it and have and even much better benefits. Maybe that is why I have not really had a multitude of loyal readers. I should have consulted your website first before starting my own, personal site.

The lengths these so called seo guys go through to essentially cheat the system is amazing. And if you are not updating your wordpress install you are just asking for trouble. The updates are to help patch exploits. I agree with jay Thomas Typepad is a better choice than using wordpress especially if you are not very technical and do not plan on updating your blog.

More people should be using Typepad, WordPress.com’s offering or Blogger. People have their techie friend install WordPress via Cpanel and NEVER look at it again. I’m technical enough, I just have better things to do with my time than stay ahead of WordPress vulns. But like with a lot of software features trump security for many.

Hi Matt,

My domain was stolen for about a month at the end of last year. This resulted in Technorati stopping the updates of my rank. I’ve contacted them on a few occasions to say everything’s fine now, but I’ve not heard a thing from them. Shame.

It’s extra painful with multiple blogs, particularly where each one has its own set of plugins, design, and other idiosyncrasies.

Well, we still need to ugprade here on BH too :)

But I agree with you – alot of folks that self-host (like me) don’t always factor in the support costs like this in terms of time and energy when choosing to use software like WordPress or other blog software.

Upgrading self-hosted blogging software is probably something that a lot of bloggers don’t factor in when setting up their blog.

Unfortunately, though upgrading is usually fairly simple (unless you have a heavily modified system), it’s not quite point-and-click yet, which presumably puts people off.

I think there may well be an element of laziness, fear of breaking the blog, belief that your own blog won’t get hacked/spammed, and so on.

I liken people’s reluctance to upgrade due to a belief that the time and complexity involved is too great to other overlooked tasks, such as maintaining backups, ensuring antivirus software is up-to-date and functioning, and so on.

I wonder if this announcement will really kick people into acting? Some, perhaps, but I’m not convinced about the masses.
