The WordPress Developer Team was busy again and released another update of the world’s best blog-software, WordPress 2.6.1…

WP 2.6.1 is “only” a maintenance update and mostly contains fixes for international users, IIS Servers and a few smaller issues.

If you are running WordPress 2.6 it’s not required to upgrade to 2.6.1 but i recommend to upgrade anyway. The past has shown that it’s always better to upgrade to the latest WordPress version as soon as possible.

Thanks to the fantastic “WordPress Automatic Upgrade” Plug-in by Keith Dsouza the upgrade process is no problem and only takes a couple of minutes.

This Plug-in really is the most helpful thing on the planet and i’m glad that an “automatic upgrade” feature will be included in WordPress 2.7 that will arrive later this year (though the Plug-in does an excellent job).

And to all who still believe in WP 2.3.3 and hate 2.5: I never was a fan of WP 2.5 as well. I only upgraded because i didn’t want Technorati or Google ban my site due to outdated WordPress-Versions. But since 2.6 is out everything has changed! I can assure you that WordPress 2.6 works great – much better than 2.5 – and recommend to upgrade. It’s about time ;)

You may have noticed that mxm-studios.com was not working properly for about 2 hours today.

I’m sorry for that but i experienced some unexpected problems after upgrading to the latest WordPress Version with the beautiful name two dot six.

After the upgrade i couldn’t log in anymore which really is a shocking event for every administrator. Many things can go wrong during a sensitive process such as the upgrade of a multi million dollar super blog like mxm…

You see, i can make jokes again because i finally made it back into my be-loved admin area.

It was only a cookie problem in my case and after i deleted the mxm-cookie from my browser cache everything worked fine. I just don’t know why this happened. I never experienced any problems while upgrading my 2.000 WordPress installations before…

Okay, i’m going to tell you that the new WP 2.6 is cool and i recommend everybody to install it. The earlier the better. Just start to forget about 2.3.3 ;)

I describe some of the new improvements which are – in opposite to WP 2.5 – mostly real improvements…

Finally! The new version of the world’s best Internet Browser is online now! Go and get Firefox 3, the installation is done in seconds.

Firefox 3 is even better and faster than before, plus: It contains a lot of very hot new features that are no Freak-Stuff but seriously helpful and innovative.

You can trust me because i’ve installed the latest Release Candidate of that fine software last week and since then the new Mozilla Browser is running absolutely with no problem on my system.

I will tell you 3 kick-ass arguments why you should install Firefox 3! And by the way: You can help to push Firefox 3 into the Guinness Book of World Records…

Done. It works. Puh!

No, i wasn’t afraid about upgrading my blog here on mxm-studios.com to the newest version of WordPress.

But i liked the former 2.3.3 much and think that many of the “big improvements” in WP 2.5 are nothing more than hot air, and in no case better than in 2.3.

In fact there was an important issue that forced me to upgrade immediately. It’s what i call the “Technorati vs. WordPress Issue“. Let me tell you…
