Hi Dave,
I was urged to login and moderate a comment (to a previous blog I'd
written) on the staffslug.org.uk site, when I noticed more than a few
updates are required to various plugins -- and more importantly --
Wordpress itself.
Now normally I'd click through the upgrades, as the web interface
itself handles this quite well in my experience. However, it's prompting
me for FTP details to upload the files via FTP, which I assume is either
your configuration choice or a fallback to not being able to write to
its own directories (mod_fcgi or mod_ruid2 needed, etc.)
In any case, here's a reminder that this should probably be done sooner
rather than later. Too many people target Wordpress. :(
Tom
