WordPress 2.6 is the current stable version of the popular blogging software, although WordPress 2.6.1 beta 1 is available for download and testing.

Like with all tech development, plans must be made ahead of time for changes, whether it’s for a new operating system, new kernel in Linux/Unix, or changes to online software, such as WordPress or even a Webmail interface.

I’ve been running WP-DBManager 2.11 for a few months now, and for the most part, it sat in the background, doing, I suppose, what it was supposed to do on its own. Yes, like anyone who has been down the proverbial road of having to do backups, reinstalls, and disaster recovery, I know enough to check up on things, especially automated processes, such as WP-DBmanager, to be sure everything is working as it should. Each time I checked, it looked as though all systems were a GO!, as NASA would say.
