WordPress 2.9.1 seemed to be mostly a useless rushed out upgrade. 2.9 upgraded over 200+ items. 2.9.1 upgraded or fixed 24 items.

Doesn’t seem to really warrant an upgrade.

Maybe it was a security problem. Not really, there was a PHP bug they addressed, but no major security issues.

They mostly correct their little typos and CSS mistakes, (no joke, one fix was a SQUARE button issue).

Maybe I am just being a negative nancy, but common. You don’t need an update that fast.

I have tried for days to upgrade automatically, but I just can’t make it work! When I click the upgrade button nothing happens..

Thanks for the great newsletter and updates to your blog. It is great to have a place to respond.
I use “Automatic Upgrades”, too. It makes life so much easier. Upgrading my blogs used to make my blood pressure rise.

I wonder if the new version was “late” due to the WP people actually taking some down time for the holidays.

I will start upgrading after I finish this post.

I’m surprised 2.9.1 took this long to come out. Normally the first upgrade is out within a week of the main version.

@Emz. WordPress.org is much better then blogspot because you can control your whole experience. You can add all the plugins you want, changes the themes, and just customize how it looks and feels all over, plus google can’t yank your blog if they don’t like you.
