I just upgraded this site to WordPress 2.1.2…
Wait. That reads a lot like the start of yesterday’s post, doesn’t it? Well, get this: Some asshat got their grubby mitts on the contents of the 2.1.1 installation package right on the WordPress server and snuck in some backdoor code. Nice security, wot? So, if you’re running 2.1.1 you should upgrade sort of immediately.
I’m glad I didn’t get around to upgrading the rest of the WordPress sites on the server from 2.0.x yet, I suppose. If I’d had to go through a half dozen rounds of updates twice in as many days, I’d be even crankier than I already am. You get three guesses as to what’s on my plate for the weekend, folks…

Or technically tomorrow, since it’s dated for the 3rd. Or some such. Or tonight. Wait…
The category buttons (to the left) look blocky & odd. (Or maybe that’s just the way they look to me? I haven’t a clue.)
It’s not just you. That’s the “stock” category sidebar widget that comes with WordPress Widgets. The only alternatives are the King Widgets set which doesn’t work with WP 2.1.x or a “tag cloud” style of category display. You know, sort of like Vox’s tag display, where the size of the text is related to how many posts a tag is associated with.
I hate “tag clouds.” So, for now, ugly buttons rule the day.
