WordPress News – Really?

Is it just me, or are these WordPress updates coming in every other week now.

Am I the only one on earth that is annoyed as hell every other week.

I don’t want to back up my database and files . . . AGAIN.

I don’t care if my taxonomy query has been hardened by John Lamansky. Personally I prefer he not touch it. Just doesn’t sound right.

Sniff out user names? People really do these things?

Introduce “clickjacking” protection in modern browsers on admin and login pages.

HUNH?

I did consult the changelog for more details.

That helped.

WordPress, really, 3.1 this year, 3.2 next year and cut out all the bullshit in between.

WordPress Updates Killed the Blogging Interest — I think I’m going back to using pencil and paper.
