I have other WP installs out there that the custom themes I wrote will break if I update them. It is time to bite the bullet and fix all those. The new administration screens of WP are awesome!

This leads to the very annoying necessity of continually making sure all your Wordpress installs are up-to-date. Occasionally search google for site:popsynth.com casino or some marketing term that they can't resist. In the worst case, you'll see some link spam showing up on google, but it's not in the source of your pages and it's not in the google cache. Also, I had a slash in the title of a post and it was continually targeted by spammers. I finally removed the slash and it settled down for some reason. Also, install Akismet if you haven't.
