foolfillment: the blog

I got this email this morning so I’m going to have a shot at upgrading. I had been holding off until I’d had time to see a few other sites that had upgraded first, but here goes. If things look a bit pear shaped here then that’s why.

Hi,

We have detected that your WordPress blog scripts on foolfillment.co.uk
are being exploited in order to execute attacks from our server.

Could you please upgrade WordPress to the newest version as soon as
possible in order to close this hole.

Update: Well, that seemed to go akay, just finding my way around the new backend though, I have to say the new fancy page for writing and managing posts is horrible, the first thing I’ve turned off. Let me know if you spot and problems.
