WordPress 2.0.2 was released some time today. This release is mainly a security release so anybody with a WordPress blog should consider upgrading. Changes for this relase can be viewed here.
I just finished upgrading all of my WordPress sites: TiVoBlog.com, RaianoFamily.net & this site. At first I wasn’t going to upgrade RaianoFamily because of the problems I normally have with WPG2 and an upgrade. Being the big geek that I am, I wouldn’t have been able to live with having two of my blogs use WP 2.0.2 while RaianoFamily was on 2.0.1. So, needless to say I bit the bullet and upgraded RaianoFamily. Let me know if you have any problems…

Podz has posted an interesting article on how to run WordPress from a thumb drive.
Why would I want to do this you ask? Mainly because it would allow me to try out new plugins without having to upload them to my site. Once I was happy with the plugin I could then upload it and integrate it into the site. Also, it would be nice to have my theme with me at all times so that I can edit it when I want to. Take today for example, I spent nearly seven hours in the airport. It would have been really nice to have a WordPress install so that I could have screwed around with my theme. Maybe I’m just a geek…..
