Well, I bit the bullet and upgraded Wordpress to v. 2.5.1. I received a warning from my hosting company yesterday that I’d reached my CPU usage limit. Curious, I checked my access logs and discovered that a spammer has gained access to my root’s .htaccess file. It interestingly would redirect you from any file within certain virtual directories (via, pharm, etc.) to a page containing an iframe with a spam page’s content. I’m probably completely misstating this, but whatever. Anyway, I bumped up security and reinstalled Wordpress, which was surprisingly easy. Bonus: my issue with posting video is now fixed. Hurray!

Jet-powered wings! This is just beautiful.
