With the huge number of sites running WordPress, and the frequency with which attackers exploit vulnerabilities on the platform to launch malicious attacks, it makes sense for self-hosting bloggers to update their systems as soon as possible.

Security vulnerabilities are frequently uncovered in third-party WordPress plugins, but the above fix addresses bugs in the main WordPress content management system itself. Meaning that just about any site running WordPress could be at risk.

Fortunately, updating is pretty easy. Go to your WordPress admin panel and choose Dashboard > Updates.

Of course, it's always good practice to test a new version of the software on a non-live version of your site first (often known as a staging site) - just in case.

Since WordPress 3.7 was released in October 2013, the software has come with the option of automatic security updates - hopefully ensuring that many site admins won't have to worry so much about whether they have kept their software updated or not.

But, of course, there will always be those who don't have automatic updates enabled and may miss the news.

Podcasting on WordPress.com

While many podcasters are using self-hosted WordPress.org sites, some attendees did not know that WordPress.com also supports podcasting.

Did you know: according to Todd Cochrane from Blubrry, creators of the PowerPress podcasting plugin for self-hosted WordPress sites, there are over 200,000 active podcasts in iTunes. Since Blubrry powers over 60 thousand of them, at least 30% of all currently active podcasts are running WordPress!

WordPress.com makes it very easy to get started with podcasting. All you need to do is create a new post category, change a few settings in your dashboard, and submit your podcast to iTunes and other catalogs. Just follow these steps to launch your podcast (if you don’t have a WordPress.com site yet, get one here).

Some of the advantages of podcasting with WordPress.com:

Simplicity: Both your website and your media are hosted in the same place, making it easier to manage your content.
Security: Your podcast and site will be protected by WordPress.com against attacks and spam.
Backups: All content published on WordPress.com is protected and backed up so you don’t have to think about it.
Maintenance-Free: Your WordPress.com site is always running the latest version of WordPress, and you will never have to worry about updates.
We continue to work on tools for podcasters here at WordPress.com, and would love your input on how we can make them better.
