Managing WordPress Upgrades (the Easy Way)

So I saw that nifty little notice in my administrative panel tonight at my in-laws house that says, “A new version of WordPress has been released. Update now” (or something along those lines). Generally a Major.Minor.Subminor update (2.5.0 -> 2.5.1 for example) means minor bugs & quirks were fixed, but more importantly, some security flaws were found and fixed. These updates are usually pretty darn important to be safe, but upgrading can be such a pain and so the minor updates often get put off until a new major version comes out.

XHTML 1.0 Transitional Compliant

Not too bad. I ran my new theme from last night through the W3C Validator quickly this afternoon and there were only 28 errors initially. I forgot a few required attribute elements to some of my tags and had an extra unused unordered list tag set. Other than that I merely had to use some htmlentities tags around my titles and alt attributes and my 28 errors are now down to zero.

Woot for being XHTML 1.0 Transitional with a WordPress site!
