Hey there everyone.
Today was a good day until around 12pm (noon) when my Wordpress installation had gone crazy (Or somebody comprimised the blog, I’m not sure which). It redirected every page to the “Wordpress Install” page and when you tried to “Re-Install” the blog, it created a page of errors so long, I didn’t have enough time to read them.
Then somebody registered a user in the MYSQL database (taking advantage of the glitch, trying to gain admin access through the “Create User And Email” during the Wordpress Install) which I removed and was very displeased about. The email was obviously fake, but it’s a good thing I checked the actual database for any tampering, or we may of just had another person giving you spam content.
So I had a great time contacting my tech support and fixing the problem. Thanks to Tina @ Bluefur.com for helping me with the issue.
I don’t know what the problem was, but it has gone away now (Hopefully 
)
As for now, I’m going to be vamping up my security and update Wordpress to make sure this doesn’t happen again. Do you have Wordpress 2.6?

Every page on the wordpress admin prompts me to update to 2.6. I’m too lazy to do it because my server has disabled remote file access, I’d have to manually do it.

Yea The “Update Wordpress” option gets pretty annoying. I just used Fantastico and it does the rest of the magic for me
I’ve upgraded to 2.6 with no apparent problems. Where did you make that book cover if I may ask? Is there an online generator somewhere?

Peter - That picture is 100% Photoshopped to my liking. The original image was this:

OK, thanks. I was hoping it could be automated but that image is pretty good for photshop too. Thanks!
